This can also get expensive really fast
Asymptotically, it's only O(N) for a meal priced N. In practice, since you only need to put in a few extra currency units, it's O(1). So it really can't get expensive fast.
Sometimes it is nice to just bask in the way disagreements are carried out on HN as opposed to e.g. Yahoo news.
humanized enso. I usually drop this in every "best tools" thread. for windows users: I recently learned to like installing the console app and set the startup path in it to cygwin.
