Pumkin pie is not made of pumpkin, rather butter nut squash… why???
This isn't strictly true...you can use either. Libby's for example is 100% pumpkin. I think a lot of people use butternut squash because it's sweeter, more available, and has a nice texture.

#52I've been learning a lot, fast, by trying to build out the same (very simple) full-stack web application in using different frameworks. Different backends, different frontends and different databases. Admittedly, I've been doing this for slightly more than one week. It's been a lot of fun, I must admit. It's interesting to see the different quality levels in documentation, availability of help on StackOverflow, and t…
Interesting, which has had the best docs so far? I often feel that the docs make the language, and it's not a thing that many folks talk about.
The rails docs are excellent, actually! I was surprised at how bad the node.js docs were, but the documentation for express.js is good enough that I didn't find myself referencing the node docs a whole lot.
C# and .NET have been pretty easy to develop in, but the documentation was very poor I thought. Maybe I just didn't find it, but it lacked a good example walkthrough like you get with Rails. Next up is a Swift backend using Perfect[0]!

#53I learned that my favorite pizza place, that I've been disappointed with lately, is getting a lot of 1 star ratings from folks these days. Guess I'm not the only one disappointed. It's a huge bummer. It took a while to find a good option!
What changed that is leaving you dissatisfied? Do you know why it's happening?
They stopped selling some of their "specialty" pizzas and removed their component ingredients from their menu. Worse, but rarely, the pizza would arrive a little bit doughy, like it wasn't fully cooked.
For the former, I don't know why it was happening -- guess I could ask -- but I suspect they're having trouble sourcing those ingredients at acceptable prices. For the latter... we'll, that's just laziness and inattention.

#54I saw a man with a device similar to a gameboy, it was a M8 Tracker.
He showed a little and talked about music trackers. As a person far from music production, my mind was blown away. All week I searched on youtube everything about: Music Trackers(M8, Renoise, Milky Tracker, SunVox), Ableton, VSTs, Pure Data, Touch Designer, Synthesizers, etc I don't know what to do with this information, but it seems I will have a new hobby.

#55Sometimes you know that uou are not the problem, but your response is a habbit and the habbit is the reason that you experience the feeling of having a problem.
