This is pretty flawed. First off, never, ever use complementary colors as the foundation for your design. A red green color scheme (for example) will produce a result that "vibrates." Open your image editor of choice and look at green text (#00FF00) on a red background (#FF0000). Illegible. Painful to the eye. Don't do it. Read more here: https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/why-you-should-avoid...

Secondly, rotating around HSL will not produce true complementary colors. Quick: what are the primary colors? Red, Yellow, and Blue. Here is where the problem lies; In an HSL rotation the primaries occupy the following H values: red (0°), yellow (60°), and blue (240°). These colors are not equidistant. The opposite of red SHOULD be pure green, yet 0°+(360/2)=180° which is #00FFFF (blue-green). The opposite of yellow SHOULD be pure purple, yet 60°+(360/2)=240° which is #0000FF (pure blue). Which means... you guessed it: the opposite of blue SHOULD be orange, but (240°+(360/2))%360)=60° which is #FFFF00 (yellow).

This is because color theory is based on pigmented color. ALL of the most common color models used are equidistant between the Red Green Blue values when rotated, instead of the Red Yellow Blue values.

No calculation will produce harmonious color schemes. Color theory, like any "creative" skill, is something you can hone through practice and experimentation. There is no formulaic solution.

Tl;dr: light and pigment do not have the same "primary" colors. Color theory is based on pigmented colors. RGB, HSB/HSL, etc do not allow for equal transformations between RYB, so you cannot use them to calculate accurate complements.
> it's not even customary

This is thoroughly false. It is so customary in the US that it has been baked into the minimum wage laws: in general, the federal minimum wage is $7.25, but for waitstaff and some other "tipped" jobs, the minimum wage is less than a third of that, at $2.13. The whole system is completely appalling, but that doesn't change the fact that in a lot of places the waitstaff is effectively subcontracted out and paid for by the patrons rather than by the nominal employer.

no, there isn't some set mass that will make a black hole. A black hole is gravity overcoming the other fundamental forces. When a star dies and forms a black hole the force pushing outward from the fusion is overcome by the gravity of the star, but there isn't some threshold of size where this happens.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I'll surely look into it.
> how wrong the parent comment is assuming they shouldn't tip

Wait, so you are saying I should start a charity compensating those poor souls who are getting tortured by Kalanick out of my own pocket? The contract for _this_ service is literally "no tip expected or required". We're not in Roman slavery times, if the drivers can't sustain working for Uber, maybe they can find something else to do in this currently great economy of ours - most of those who I talked to are new to Ubering anyway. They are not like, say, teachers who get career training to do specialized and meaningful work, the drivers utilize the most common skill to take advantage of a commercial opportunity. If this commercial opportunity is not viable in their situation, how is that my fault?
Black holes can have any mass over 22 micrograms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole

Things become black holes by being dense, not by having large mass.

Still, does the naming sound right? Patterns that get "encoded" into the language, or made trivial by abstraction features within the language, are idioms?

> Have you read the Gang of Four book?

No :/ The closest I've come, weirdly, was tutoring a friend through a design pattern class. Each time she'd come up and say, "The name of this week's pattern is such-and-such", and from that, I'd get 90% of the way to knowing that pattern was. I've always wanted just a simple list of the names, maybe with linked single paragraph descriptions, but every prior time I've looked I haven't been able to find one.

Yes! That's a favorite Ruby trick. Straight up tho - what is the formal name of doing that, specifically, the formal name of the category to which attr_accessor and has_many belong to?
I feel like there's a certain segment of people that would probably tip if there was a tip prompt at the grocery store, or at the gas station.

I don't know absolutely nothing about black holes, but I think that amount of mass has nothing to do with it. It is the density what matters. Wasn't the LHC trolled about the possibility of creating tiny black holes?

If you spend enough time abroad, it will always change your personality.

As for handling changes to your home country upon your return, it really depends on the situation. A San Francisco native who leaves in 1972 and returns in 1979 wouldn't have much trouble, compared to one who who leaves in 1962 and returns in 1969. It would be pretty disorienting to find your hometown now has a radically different culture.

That said, I have no opinion on which is a bigger issue.

No, stellar black holes have less mass than the stars they came from. When a star goes supernova it ejects much of its mass, the core can collapses into a black hole. Black holes don't form due to mass alone, but density of mass. Collapse the earth to the size of a golf ball and it'll become a black hole, but of course the earth doesn't have the necessary gravity to do that. Neither do stars, until their cores collapse and get dense enough to cross that line and become black holes.

I think larger mass stars tend to burn their fuel more quickly and thus die faster. Then again it's a large, weird universe out there. I'm sure a star orbiting an lower mass black hole has happened at least once.

If anyone, at any company, asked you "What do you think about Fowler's statement?" as part of the interview process, you should run from that company as fast as you can.

Any HR org that is at least 1% more competent than Uber's is alleged to be would absolutely put the kibosh on those kinds of questions. HR orgs know those kind of questions are destined to get useless responses, and they could easily lead to a situation where an interviewer could put the company into legal jeopardy.

Debt conversations always have these weird grandpa rules of thumb and words of wisdom, as you can see in the other comments.

The proper use of debt is to match the debt with the asset. If you are buying a house, a 25-year mortgage matches the value of the house. If you are buying a car, a 5-year loan matches the value of the car. If you are buying a sandwich with a credit card, well... you should pay off your credit card at the end of the month because that sandwich is long gone.
buying a house, car, going to school, university, having a baby also requires you to give a lot of personal information, it does not mean its a reason not to use those things...

There was a point where financing the government was a patriotic act. People would give other people War Bonds as presents. But now the patriotic thing is to trash talk which ever party is in the administration and wax poetic about governmental corruption. You can't have it both ways. You can't say no to financing your government and scorn corruption. Either you're okay paying for your government, you're okay with someone else paying for your government (to possibly include other governments!), or you're okay with your government paying for itself with printed money. (That last option, seignorage, leads to hyperinflation.)

No, good service and hospitality are literally what your base wage should cover.

If your service job doesn't pay well enough to for you to provide good service and/or be a decent human being, perhaps you should seek out a less service-oriented job.
I'm always a little miffed at "default" tipping (e.g. Doordash). I feel that if I don't tip, my driver may be less than courteous. I have no idea if they know they're being tipped or not.

I like Lyft's model where the driver doesn't know how much you tipped, but knows how much in tips he gets at the end of the day in aggregate... it reinforces positive service while removing any friction to tip or not.

Will I get early adopters from Hackernews for my content marketing SAAS (MVP)
I've been working on a content distribution & social media Ad optimized SAAS platform, I knew it might have potential because I tested a new approach in facebook Ads which has seen success for two of my early adopters. (Portea.com and getgrowfit.com)

Portea got- 15k to 550k traffic in two months: https://i.imgsafe.org/7eec58f5a0.jpg

Getgrowfit got- 60k to 350k in one month: https://i.imgsafe.org/7eee4d42d2.jpg

I've finally reached the stage where we have a working MVP. However I need 20 more early adopters (Before releasing MVP officially) who are ready to spend on my new optimized content distribution approach and can spend minimum 1500$ on Ad campaigns.

I believe these 20 early adopters can make this SAAS as robust Will I get any early adopters from Hackernews community?

Key terms are interest rate (coupon) and conversion premium. These are not printed on preliminary prospectus and will be printed on the final once the pricing is determined. They way this works is that underwriters (big banks listed on the first page) go to the market (long only and hedge fund investors) with a range for coupon and conversion premium. Investors will express interest somewhere in the range and the instrument will be priced tomorrow at close to get the right investors and best pricing for Tesla. We'll see the final terms once the convert is priced tomorrow after close, but qualified investors already have offering ranges.

Generally, converts have much lower interest than straight debt because they offer equity upside to investors once the stock goes above the conversion price. Tesla is high volatility stock, so the convert pricing will be attractive for the company (low coupon / high conversion premium) because that embedded option is valuable to convert investors.
This way a black hole can orbit a star or a planet. I can imagine sci-fi setting where a doomed planet is orbited by a black hole.

This. I feel compelled in restaurants to provide a 15%+ unless I got bad service. With kids (and fewer restaurant visits) it's easier to justify a substantive tip - the table is usually a mess at the end and we do request more attention from the wait staff.

This is an absolutely terrible methodology for asking that question. People tend to blog about major language changes. Very few C# shops/devs are publishing blog posts about how they're still using C# this year.

Unfortunately, you'd probably be hard-pressed to find a decent methodology.

But indeed, "we used this language for 10 years without thinking about switching" is a much more interesting metric than "we switched languages 3 months ago".
Oh really?

It's based on total operating costs--not the cost of the driver only.

This is the same US mentality where businesses are allowed to advertise the pre-tax price of a product. Essentially it's just a way for the seller to lie about their product price (yet the financial industry has free rein to force business to not itemize the CC fee).

>most of these Slack-like services have no ignore feature/minimal moderation tools

This is what pushed me away from using Slack with a group of gamers I admin for. I can understand Slack's desire to stick to the workplace and how that leads to "if you need to /ignore a co-worker your company has problems implementing /ignore in Slack can't fix." And I can understand Mattermost wanting to become the opensource/on-prem analog of that. But it really falls apart when you try to use that kind of system with users that don't know you, aren't on your payroll or have issues with rules - like open source developers, or gamers.

My group eventually switched to Discord for, among other things, its amazing ACL-style permissions system, frictionless inviting and unlimited history (iirc, getting history with the first tier of paid Slack would have cost us ~11k USD/year?). It's not perfect - I really hope their bot API gets some love, and of course the ability to host your own server would be nice (though I understand some of the catch-22's there) - but I like it a LOT and I keep encountering new groups of people with Discord servers where I can just idle using one client. This is MUCH more IRC-like experience than I ever got with Slack (for instance, switching between or getting/setting notification alert levels on several different servers is much more ergonomic on Discord than on Slack).

I've not used Gitter a whole lot - just a couple of times when I had a question for some project that had one - but my impression is that it leans more towards "chat with strangers about $topic" (like Discord) and less towards "chat with colleagues about work" (like Slack). In that respect, I'd lay a small amount of money that Gitter does have an /ignore command, among other tools that you miss from IRC.
