i think about this cereal like once a year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IM_yd8eLPs

@omar reverse engineering a bom for a drum machine?

@kavehv yeah, i think also like ten years of marginal improvements to vacuum tech really go a long way.

deeply annoyed that the new vacuum is indescribably better despite having a laughable canister capacity

it's not the arrow in the fedex logo, but ever since i learned about timing codes and alignment patterns (the 4th square) in qr codes i haven't been able to unsee them in every qr code i see in the wild

much better spotify DW this week, fun gem that took me hilariously long to pin down this Darker Shade of Black by jackie mittoo as riffing on norwegian wood https://song.link/s/5haDMUDfMRQr23XgYaCD0x

@jonfroehlich @eglassman not to dismiss your question, but beyond giving good, earnest crit, interpreting and acting on feedback within the constraints of a project is a Large part of the capital-p Process. like there’s always going to be somebody whose crit is “i would have done it this way” somebody who picks out visual nits, somebody who uses the work as a springboard to discuss things they wish they had done, etc. maybe they’re all valid depending on what you want or need to do with the work/design/task. learning to interpret, filter, and make use of that feedback is largely the point of art/design school (imo) at least if you’re at a Process driven program and not a portfolio-focused one (as Bierut might call them). harder yet is knowing (and asking for) the kind of crit that would help you make immediate vs long term progress.

@bryanjclark how’s the griddle?!? i was bummed that the fancy ge we ordered got canceled because that is a feature i would also use (i want to be able to cook mini potatoes and carrots in two separate 1qt pots at the same temp roughly for the same amount of time, for instance). does the griddle heat pretty uniformly or does it let you set a gradient across the griddle?

when i was a line cook i had two free standing induction burners that had an analog knob but it went from 0-100 with steps in between and the effect was extremely like using a magical gas burner when you have that resolution but the behavior of induction

@bryanjclark i have two large “burners” but there is no way to have both set to the same “temp” (ditto for the small ones) this is also because also how they are paired to deal with power draw issues so it’s just not possible to have any two burners behaving identically

@buzz how is it single-tenant? i kinda wish there were a simpler mama celeste version of it

@bryanjclark how granular are the temp controls on the ge’s, i got an lg one and its an annoying 1-8 with a turbo on each burner, i think i need something like 1-20 especially when it comes to simmering or frying, but i still prefer it to what we had previously (danger coils). wish we hadn’t had to buy this range during peak supply chain season, it made choices a lot tighter than they needed to be

@regehr @dev wow, deep cut

@siracusa @tlholaday guessing hundreds have mentioned but in toot! you can long press on reply/fav to change the acct you perform the reply/fav as, im doing it right now

@pete it's so unreal that it's this specific track and that it just keeps happening year over year

it is happening again

@palvaro like, i read it more about disempowering cops than empowering pedestrians but maybe i’m just buying the spin

@palvaro i thought the idea behind it was to prevent cops from being able to hassle urms for doing it because they found that cops tend to cite them way more after looking through the data. agree we need to fix something about ca car culture though, but this law seems more about specious prosecutions https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-01/jaywalking-decriminalized-in-california-under-new-law

@buzz heh i just started reading it a short while ago and it’s such a fun read, i had braced myself for it to be quite dense after watching the miniseries a few times and the movie once, but i’m just loving the writing, great thing to read at night for me

@pete i made the same move btw and found it super painless (my biggest issue was forgetting to crank down the dns ttl before moving machines. oops)

Picotron Playground -- an experimental web-based edition of my WIP Fantasy Workstation -- is OUT NOW! It includes a code editor and terminal program for poking around some demos of the #picotron API and runtime.
