Today AI was chastising me for code which sometimes ends with CR/LF and sometimes only with LF. It was crying and crying like a crybaby about it.

Some restaurants have a digital screen and you input your tip for the meal. The meal bill itself is precisely calculated to two digits, like “$34.29.” However, these tips come out in full dollars, not cents. You may have thought you were typing “$6.75” for a tip when you pressed “675,” but it is instead “$675.” How do you interpret this?

  • It’s for convenience, letting the customer not need to bother with cents
  • It’s an attempt to fool customers into giving much bigger tips than intended

I wasn’t outraged that they were doing a sequel, and I was impressed by the pilot, but I thought the first season was wildly uneven.

It got better.

Voted something else. Most of TNG season 1 was underwhelming. There were only a few episodes that foretold how good the series became.
