On: Softmax forever, or why I like softmax

That would be "welcome to the world of academia". My post-doc friends won't even read a blog post prior to checking author's resume. They are very dismissive every time they notice anything they consider sloppy etc.

[throw_pm23 → totalizator]

You seem to merge two different points. Not reading based on sloppiness is defensible. Not reading based on the author's resume less so.

[aidenn0 → throw_pm23]

When "sloppiness" is defined as "did anything on my personal list of pet peeves" (and it often is) then the defensibility of the two begin to converge.

Which is a problem with the reputation-based academic system itself ("publish or perish") and not individuals working in it.

Valid point but what about the reality? Imagine typical Evil Maid attack but within a workplace, as a cleaning staff. Game over.

I would love to see some kind of a proxy to parse modern websites so they can be viewed via 56K modem on a 386/486 era computers. Any ideas? Some Squid Cache wizardry maybe?

On: MTPuTTY – Multi-Tabbed PuTTY

[totalizator]

What about sending same commands to multiple servers at once and having possibility to align tabs into layouts to see them all? Look no more. There is SuperPuTTY that I can't recommend enough https://github.com/jimradford/superputty (some years ago there was PuTTY Connection Manager (outdated now). Screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/rknybKS.png

SuperPuTTY saves me so much time and effort when managing multiple instances of the same application across multiple hosts.

[noisy_boy → totalizator]

Agreed. Some of the features of SuperPuTTY that I love are 1) ability to save sessions and restore at startup 2) flexibility of changing keybindins e.g. F3 to copy current tab 3) export/import of sessions.

What about tipping in Sweden? Do you tip the couriers that deliver food to your home (and what would be an average tip)?

[kwhitefoot → totalizator]

I don't think tipping is very common in Sweden. I live in Norway, just next door, and it would never occur to me to tip a courier. It's unusual to tip in restaurants here too.

[Fnoord → totalizator]

Wikipedia has good information about tipping customs and laws in countries throughout the world. Here's the Swedish entry [1].

As a rule of thumb: apart from the English-speaking countries in EU, tipping is not mandatory.

[GordonS → Fnoord]

It's not mandatory in the UK either. It's certainly pretty common in restaurants, as long as they don't already add a service charge, but it's unusual to tip in just about any other situation.

[arkitaip → totalizator]

No, we don't tip couriers in Sweden. Tipping is almost done at restaurants and very few other places/situations.

Wouldnt that just push the "guilt" to the consumer?
