I’ve had quite the successful day cooking today: make a Dutch baby for breakfast with blueberries, a bean stew for lunch using up all the week’s odds and ends, make a coffee and walnut cake, and barbecued/slightly smoked a whole spatchcocked chicken for the first time!

- Is there a way to get an atom version of the “for-you” feed? I’m guessing this is complicated by needing to be authenticated.

replied to:

Exactly, it makes it way more complicated that's why it's not there yet. Not against the idea though.

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later.

I was talking about this with some alumni students, specifically their experience learning python with us a few years earlier (these are college students who are not really using python any more). What it seems to boil down to is that with python you have the feeling that there is this huge forest of solutions to any problem you are having -- but you will never know the whole forest. BASIC feels like you "know" it after a day or two of playing around, evidently.

Everytime I come on here I feel so dumb compared to everyone -_- mostly because I didn't come here from GitHub or any other major site like it .. :P

replied to:

I literally came here because I saw the app on F-droid, I didn't even know this app existed until then.

replied to:

Any advantages in using the app instead of having the site as a PWA on Android?

…

replied to:

I don't see any, this is just how I found out about the app and use it.

replied to:

I've never used f droid until getting the app! does it have any other cool apps? :O

…

replied to:

Absolutely! There are many FOSS apps as alternatives to closed ones, I have it on every phone.

did they silently decrease the subscription limits on codex? (in addition to reintroducing the 5h limit?) subscription models suck so bad when they can just change the terms and make the product shittier.

replied to:

I reached the limit also for the first time on the $100. Either that or we’re just using them more.

Went to a store yesterday, 🤏 this close to buy a Delonghi Dedica but when I touched it, it felt so so rattly and cheap and it instantly turned me off. So I did some more research and now I think a used Gaggia Classic Pro will do. lovers, why is your hobby so hard to break into 😪
