Alright for anyone having an issue with the arrow to view quoted posts, @Kadauchi made us a temp fix til we figure out exactly what it is.

/ ==UserScript==
// @name         MTC Previous Post Patch

$(`#messageList`).on(`click`, `a[href^="goto/post"]`, e => $(`html, body`).animate({scrollTop: $(e.target.hash).offset().top}, 250));

Okay, this seems to be related to the most recent Chrome update. If anyone's Chrome needs to be updated, you might want to make a note of this fix before doing so.

As cognitive processes are more malleable than stable traits, this will have important implications for the design of entrepreneurial education and training programs, development of decision making support tools that overcome potential biases in thinking that may impact risk perception. This research will further support effective risk management in start-ups and corporate organisations alike. You must be over 18 and identify as an entrepreneur to participate (i.e. have started a business). To participate you will complete a thirteen minute online survey consisting of a series of tasks and scenarios designed to evaluate how you think and perceive risk in business situations. These tasks include estimating probabilities, evaluating a business scenario and rating your confidence in performing in particular contexts. Requirements: Total approved HITs is not less than 100; Total approved HITs is not greater than 100000; Exc: [53042-52453] has not been granted; HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 80; Location is one of: US;

Or you computer can just restart for no reason and update Chrome by itself.

What if you find writing scripts extremely boring?

If you're like Kadauchi and just write the 8th copy of Panda Crazy (or Turkmaster, or... whatever came before that again which basically did the same thing), then I could totally see that.

If you're like me and you're pushing the envelope of what can be done, there's absolutely no way you can be bored with it, as long as you keep the outcome in mind.

Programming is an iterative process. There's nothing wrong with refining old tools and concepts.

Sort of. I posted some "how to ahk" videos to youtube a couple years back. Haven't made any more... I figure those 2 videos cover 95% of all needs for most average turkers on mturk. You can find them by googling "ahk for turking" or searching on youtube. I don't have links handy.

Thanks, appreciate the info.

I don't mind... I'm pretty sure by this point that @Liz puts them on for atmosphere when getting frisky with the man of the house.

Poor guy, I tell him to shush so I can hear you. The way you say "what are you wearing" gets me everytime.

Then you should be really nice to @Kadauchi

I got my entry into mTurk scripting by fixing the bugs in his keybinds script, and then shared the fixed version on an mTurk Facebook group, where it got around 150 downloads in a couple of days.

In a different world, Kadauchi and I could be friends. But as it stands, he's more useful to me as a rival. I'm a competitive person and only really come to life when I feel that I need to beat someone. So if you see me shit on him publicly, know that it's not bitterness.

But seriously, I do honestly get bored by the fact that he doesn't release any cool public scripts. They're all rehashes of the same old, same old. Sometimes I wonder whether he has private copies of all of the next-gen tools I've been writing in my secret lab.

Panda only those HITs and work from a queue is what I do. But I'm still doing Nathans.

"What have I done?"

 

[hydraliskraider]

Programming is an iterative process. There's nothing wrong with refining old tools and concepts.

When I got into C++ in the early 2000s, I loved writing in the language for its own sake.
I loved writing the highest-performing, most organized code.

I'm different these days, but I see the old me in a lot of programmers, and it disappoints me, because very few people actually appreciate the outcome of their work. People never appreciate performance improvements, since they just buy new computers or blame "viruses" etc. if they start running something slowly. And of course, they never see the source code to appreciate how well-organized it is.
