Feels like a lazy justification

I try to give people kindness and grace, even for small things. Maybe we can sometimes reframe a "lost cart" as something other than an act of laziness or aggression against society. Maybe it’s a sign someone was just having a hard moment.

When I take a stray cart back, sure, it could’ve been left by someone careless. But it also could’ve been left by someone overwhelmed. Maybe a parent, an exhausted worker, someone barely holding it together because of some struggle we'll never know.

Returning that cart might be a tiny act of kindness toward someone who needed it that day.

All I'm asking is that we give caregivers a little empathy and some grace. To your question - There's not much risk. Lock the car, return the cart.

But what I'm offering is that if I saw a parent leaving a cart, I wouldn't judge and assume that it's because of a glaring moral failing.

I don't see mention of parenting.

Imagine you’re in a hurry. Your child is tired and hungry, and you are too. You’ve just loaded the groceries into the trunk and finally gotten your child strapped into the car seat. You think for just a moment that you're done. But then you realize: you still need to return the shopping cart. You should have loaded the groceries, locked the car, gone back to the cart return and then carried your child back to the car to load them into their car seat.

Now you’re faced with a dilemma with three bad options — do you take your child back out of the car, leave them unattended for a moment, or abandon the cart and go home?

Another parameter - as a track designer you can manipulate the width of the track to change the ball speed. It raises and lowers the ball on the track, changing both the rolling diameter and the center of gravity. This can be used to make subtle changes to the ball speed before a turn.

PHP: With the new 7 release, it gets a surprising speed boost, a collection of elegant new syntax, and maintains backwards compatibility with an incredible ecosystem of packages. Modern projects like Laravel and Slim continue to push best practices, and the community is one of the largest. It's an incredibly versatile language with a robust feature set.

The Macbook is a solid bit of hardware with great durability. For development with Vagrant, you should make sure that the machine has the maximum RAM installed, and if it's an older one, you can do a SSD upgrade.

In addition, I cannot say enough good about the dotfiles project from https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles for making OSX a nice developer environment. Be sure to completely read through the .osx file before applying it though, and comment out the bits you don't like. If you maintain the .brew file and use it to install new apps (including apps via cask), you'll have a system that is very easy to replicate. iTerm2 with tmux is great for use with Vagrant environments too.

On first glance, the marketing site is clean, tidy, and professional. Nice work there! I'll try out the app today. In the meantime a couple of things I looked for: A screenshot or demo and a help site for support.

The red introductory price text feels a little out of place. It's left justified when the rest feels centered, and I feel like it could be a better callout with improved formatting. It may be a British spelling, but I saw misspelled 'occassional' in the Beta section.

Best wishes with the project it looks promising!

Nice to see this getting some publicity. The markdown-resume-js project that this uses is based on my own markdown resume project at https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume.

It's a project that generates both html and pdf versions of a resume written in markdown. It's distributed as a phar file so you can keep a copy in your bin folder and just keep your resume.md in it's own repo.

This was originally a way to experiment with css descendant selectors and learning more about the capabilities of wkhtmltopdf. It's limited compared to LaTex, but it's reasonable for a simple resume.
