When going out to eat in a group pay a bit more than you owe. A few extra dollars to have the meal end in peace is always worth it.

- Robin_Message 16y agoAsymptotically, it's only O(N) for a meal priced N. In practice, since you only need to put in a few extra currency units, it's O(1). So it really can't get expensive fast.

- dlib 16y agoLife's too short to get worked up over dollars and cents. In general I try to live as if I've set an hourly wage for my time. Arguing over a few dollars change I consider more expensive than paying a little extra. If there's a task someone else/some company has a competitive advantage in compared with doing it myself, it's cheaper for me to not do it. So, offload git hosting to github, rails hosting to Heroku and spare yourself the headaches. Applying sunk costs also is a great stress reliever for me, time spent on a project is time you won't ever get back. Don't fuzz about it.
