Living Room / Doordash and Pizza Arbitrage - Unloading capital cannons on customer acquisition
« Last post by mouser on May 19, 2020, 03:03 PM »
A pizza shop discovers that a 3rd party delivery service has hijacked their google listing to offer deliveries for their pizza, and reselling their pizza at a loss... How is this a business model?

Another mystery of capitalism.

But he brought up another problem - the prices were off. He was frustrated that customers were seeing incorrectly low prices. A pizza that he charged $24 for was listed as $16 by Doordash...
You have insanely large pools of capital creating an incredibly inefficient money-losing business model. It's used to subsidize an untenable customer expectation. You leverage a broken workforce to minimize your genuine labor expenses. The companies unload their capital cannons on customer acquisition, while this week’s Uber-Grubhub news reminds us, the only viable endgame is a promise of monopoly concentration and increased prices. But is that even viable?

The Making of Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner
https://www.amazon.c...trated/dp/0578627310

Screenshot - 5_18_2020 , 12_51_55 PM_thumb001.png

"Prince of Persia" was a pretty influential computer game for the Apple II and original IBM PC that game out in 1989 or so..

This book collects the journals and notes of the 19 year old kid who made the game.  Filled with little anecdotes of the time, etc.

Great stuff.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Can't Figure out how to add Numbered overlays except by using Text Option
« Last post by mouser on May 16, 2020, 03:49 PM »
Screenshot Captor has a clipart section -- you can select it from the toolbar.  From there there are a number of different sets of numbers and "step #" items you can drag and drop.

HOWEVER, I will say that it's not quite a easy as you are wanting, and as easy as it should be.

This is high on my todo list -- I'm thinking a much easier way to add these step images and set the sizes of them..

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LBC Access Violation when selecting node that opens PDF
« Last post by mouser on May 13, 2020, 08:31 PM »
leaves and I fixed the bug!
It was caused by a bug in my code that was trying to pad out icons to 32bit boundary when storing them.  It must be an unusual system configuration where that is needed I think, so it wasn't affecting most people.

I have uploaded a new version of LBC to the official download location: https://www.donation.../launchbar-commander

Great, thank you !  This must be a strange error since it's happening so often for you but doesn't seem to be affecting others..  I'm excited to figure out what it is :)

ps.
I uploaded a new debug version that logs more info, so before you run tests make sure to redownload the latest debug version.

Can you try this for me just to see if it gives any more clues:
Open up your LBC configuration and select some node you don't care about.
Now drag and drop a file onto the ICON IMAGE.. Normally this has LBC replace the node icon with the one representing the file you've dropped.  I'm just curious if that also causes an error when you drop pdf/text files onto it.

« Last post by mouser on May 13, 2020, 06:15 AM »
Tried dropping text files, got the same access violation. Tried dropping exe files, works perfectly.

How strange!  Loading the info from EXE is much more complicated and prone to problems then loading form normal files, so this suggests to me it must be a bug in LBC somewhere that just isn't showing up for most people for reasons unknown.
It could be related to a security program blocking access to the files -- or something else.

Let me make a debug version of LBC that tries to identify where the problem is -- I'm sure we can figure this out.

And you're using the latest version of LBC?

Can you try this: download the portable version and unpack it somewhere and run it (exit your normal LBC); that will give you a new file.
Try dropping adding the pdfs to that new bar.  Let's see if it happens right from the start.

« Last post by mouser on May 12, 2020, 04:57 PM »
Sorry, somehow I missed this original post.
I can add a pdf node and click on it in configuration dialog without error.

Which makes me wonder if it's something about the pdf file or the configuration in LBC that is making it confused.  Still makes it an LBC fault but I need more clues to try to figure out the nature of the problem.

If you drop a new different pdf file (one made a different way ideally), onto the config, does it have the same problem?

In your photo the command path looks like its not set -- I wonder if that's a clue.

If you can figure out any more clues as to when this problem happens let me know.

i dont think so, but in SC MoveTo menu at the bottom it will give you the option to let it file all your older screenshots in the thumbnail panel into subfolders based on date.

This may be a problem with windows itself not refreshing its thumbnail cache.  I remember this happening in the past and being fixed by a reboot.
