Just wait until you hear about literally everything ever

Or a lot of modern medicine right now. Lots of useful drugs are discovered totally by accident: "Oh look, my patient took this for foot sores and it turns out it helps his hair loss", and then the drug gets used forever more, despite having really no idea at all why it should work. We don't even really know how paracetamol works.

Oh man ~180mb to build a _book_. It's 2023, why hasn't someone figured out a good way to check in photos and other binary objects into a git repo? I'd expect someone in the latex or ML community to have build a pre-commit hook to, I don't know, link & upload to S3 or something, right? I think git (and vcs in general) could be revolutionary to the way experts in all fields including law, medicine, book editing & publi…

perhaps this is the tool you want?

Anyone have experience baking bread using oat flour? I have a kid with serious IBS issues, so no wheat, no eggs and limited spelt. There's one brand we can buy at the local health food store that fits the bill - which they can eat as much of as they want.

All the recipes I've found so far either require egg, or mixing in a bit of spelt.

Coincidentally today I baked the first bread that I was really happy with! I have followed this guide and the videos for a few weeks now and I feel like I’ve got a deeper understanding of what’s going on now. Other recipes can also work but it feels much better to know why you’re doing something instead of blindly following someone. Thanks Hendrik!

I thought this was going to be yet another javascript frontend framework with yet another less than descriptive name, but lo and behold this is actually about sourdough. Neat! EDIT: Appears the author has one for Pizza Dough[0]. Gotta try that one out as it's more applicable to me than sourdough. [0] https://github.com/hendricius/pizza-dough

sourdough.js was initially appreciated for being an airy-light framework, but as it rose to a great height many security holes were spotted under the crust; it wasn't quite ready for the daily crunch of production. The dev team tried to butter over these concerns, but it wasn't enough. It was forgotten and the codebase is mostly stale now.

They made an ACID DB too

I joined the sourdough bandwagon during the pandemic. I was committed to whole wheat, and had inconsistent (to put it generously) results until I came across Hendrik's Whole Wheat Sourdough Master class[0]. Really great content, and all of the experimentation really showed. I'm happy to see it here!

Docker to build a book is definitely something new. Not that it doesn't make some sense just something I've never seen.

This feels pretty clever. I totally imagine wanting to regenerate this book 20 years from now, and there will be no way to run that natively on a modern computer.

Not sure if Docker itself will still be around or the dependencies will be available, but at least that's a clear build target and there's a fighting chance it will still somewhat work.

Or if paracetamol works [1], which, given that it has a remarkably low lethal dose, really makes you wonder whether it should be sold at all.

Ha, I tried to download the epub file and drop it into Send to Kindle. No go, the limit is 50MB (file is 87MB). I was successful directly importing the pdf version into Kindle.
