    The key is to spend all his money on useful things like rent and insurance, so that you can use your sweet turk monies to buy shoes and champagne.

    Also stupid cat bills, but I've blacked that out from my memory.

    Jesus! See you have a better reason. I just fucking hate people. I can only handle them for so long at a time before I get really...strange? Hard to explain but I legit just avoid all people at all times cause I hate them. At least with the forums I can choose how long I spend talking here. When I get antsy I can just close the tab and walk away, ya know?
    That's the plan! Well right now I'm paying bills cause we are super cheap. But when it's spare it goes to plants and video games. I think it's a win win cause he puts up with me.

    Give me your JS script that is so godly on CIs, I'll write it in jQuery and perftest it and bet dollars to donuts there's no difference that a human could actually perceive or ever matter versus the actual throttle of mturk's page request limits.

    Maybe when you get into incredibly complex frameworks like the entirety of MTS you'll get some noticeable performance improvements here/there, but your mind's eye is not an actual benchmarking tool.

    In real world performance, I cap on CI's just as quickly as all the vanilla JS preachers, the cap on the vast majority of HITs is the amount of time between submissions before things start to yell at you loudly from the mtruck hamster wheel.

    The only difference between this and a dev job gig is more pay. I still get to pick who I work for and I'll probably still work from home, which is great because I've got three sleep disorders and anxiety that make me Life's Grinch.

    I met someone recently who built all his mturk tools in Python, and I was uber impressed lol. Idk why but in the past when I've looked at it its made me want to cry, but he seriously made me think about trying to dig back into it.

    So, just saying, but its a perfectly valid thing to practice w/ on mturk. He had a pretty damn cool setup :dunno:

    Thanks! It only hurts when I sit for too long, or stand for too long, or lift something, or walk for too long, or...HAHA! No seriously, I'm ok. I just have to be careful what I do, you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at me.

    It is the difference of a dollar or so an hour but it is still a difference.

    Mostly because CIs always seem to drop massive batches when I just want to go the fuck to sleep.

    Anything >1 cent each it really won't matter though.

    I love Python. It's such a clean looking language and the fact that it was created as an ode to Monty Python tickles me so much.

    I am new to MTurk. Started in January. I am a nurse and work on the weekends and have off M-Thursday. So I try to MTurk as much as possible. I am still so slow to get the good ones. I use HIT catcher and HIT finder. I will be the forum nurse.
