Adding a tip button begging you to pay their employees

"By the way, now that you've ordered, would you like to pay my employees so I don't have to"

It looks ridiculous

I don't even know what the tip would be for or who would get it

It's literally a donation

Colleges could do well with this strategy

"You just paid tuition. Would you like to add something for the professors before class starts? They'll know if you don't."

I'm working on an R project with a bunch of data and code files, with thousands of lines of code spread across a bunch of files. I've created a package to hold everything as that relieves the stress of keeping track of it all.

I'll admit I don't do this as often as I should. When I do, I document all the functions and use attributes to document the data series.

This is the kind of thing gives you that isn't appreciated or even understood by the critics.

Not part of the left or even a Democrat but I wonder why they aren’t rallying around Biden the way the right has their guy.

Biden loses and it’ll be at least 100 years before there’s a legal abortion anywhere in the US. Probably the end of gay marriage. Possibly illegal to be gay or trans. The end of climate legislation. Probably the end of the ACA.

In spite of this there is more apathy on the left than 2016. They get what they deserve I guess. They didn’t learn when Roe was overturned.

49ers have no reason to feel bad. They’re a very good team and didn’t have enough luck today.

Sporting KC going to play their game against Miami in Arrowhead. Bumps capacity from 18,000 to 76,000. Messi is valuable to every MLS team.

So much for “buying” a computer if you have to log in to a Microsoft account to use it. You have to send all your information straight to Microsoft so they can use it to train their AI models. They’re worse than Google.

I've had one core pegged at 100% and the other 31 sitting around doing nothing for hours.

R has gotten a lot faster over time. Part of it is that CPUs continue to get faster, but there have also been JIT and other improvements. Things that ten years ago would have been too slow to be practical are now fast enough that you don't think about it.

I see Collin Klein took the week off. Clearly didn't spend his time putting together a game plan.

One of the things that made it easy for me to replace Twitter with Mastodon is https://www.sportsbots.xyz/ delivering sports news.

I follow some news sources and journalists too, so there's no FOMO, but I don't remember where I found them.

I also follow @FediFollows, checked the Explore timeline for popular posts and followed folks from there, and @RickiTarr posts a lot, which livened up my feed.
