More Western propaganda.

Agile is about being able to respond to change quickly by delivering value sooner.

Scrum is a gimmick invented to sell scrum courses. It's an easy-to-understand framework for convincing managers that their teams are agile, but I've never seen it work in practice.

Some of the scrum practices - such as daily strandups - can be extremely valuable for software teams. Standups, for example, are an opportunity for alignment, or more accurately, for correcting misalignment. And like all practices, they can be practiced badly.

McDonalds fries are a sad joke and I'm going to rant about them online to enlighten the world! I personally desire to have exactly 114g fries where each one is 58.9mm. From now on I'm getting my fries from Burger King where I can have it my way!

The type of sugar actually has quite an impact, other than just the color and flavor. Brown sugar results in taller and softer cookies because it's slightly acidic and so reacts with the baking soda. White sugar causes cookies to spread more and become crunchier.

Added a switch for American units

Probably factoring in 24 hours of refrigeration

When you live in Singapore :p

All units are in standard metric units because it's more precise / easier to measure / more useful for the majority of people. I'll consider adding a toggle for American units later. 250 is indeed very hot, but sometimes that might the kind of temperature you need - it's the upper limit of most domestic ovens. Some measurements are in teaspoons just because that's what most of the recipes I was basing this on were using, and precision isn't really so important for those ingredients, but yeah, the inconsistency is annoying. Will consider changing that to grams later.

Thanks, great suggestions!

great idea! it's on the roadmap

thanks!

Yeah it's a bit janky right now... it's because some properties change ingredients which impact other properties... for example if you want a lighter color then the brown/white sugar ratio might change, which also changes the the texture and thickness.

Not yet, that's on the todo list. It does save any changes to local storage so when you come back next time it will remember the recipe.

yeah... try measuring out a tiny fraction of an egg... not easy. When I was experimenting with small batches I used a syringe to measure out small amounts of beaten egg!

This was a Covid-19 side project to learn Svelte and Sapper.

Customize exactly how you want your cookies to turn out and it will generate the perfect recipe for your perfect cookie. Would really like everyone's feedback!

A little side project during lock down to experiment with Svelte/Sapper and, more importantly, generate a recipe for your PERFECT chocolate chip cookie based on desired color, mouthfeel, surface texture, and thickness. You can also adjust the recipe for the exact number of cookies you want to make. Please let me know your feedback!

Comparing Software Engineer Salaries Across Euro-American Cities, and Ignoring Software Engineer Salaries across all the other cities where the majority of software engineers live.

The source is a politically-biased English-language Taiwanese tabloid known for spreading false information relating to the government of mainland China, especially regarding covid19. Doesn't pass the bullshit filter.

Came here from my rss feed. So I sure hope not...

So now it’s about 10% as good as Taobao

Diamonds! I got an email the other day from a lawyer who told me I'm actually a descendant of Nigerian royalty! As if that wasn't enough, my great uncle has passed away and left all of his diamond mines to me in his will! I just needed to transfer a downpayment - relatively small in the grand scheme of things - to formally transfer the ownership so the money will soon start rolling in! See ya later, chumps!

We use standuply on slack. The team size is ~12 people. About half use it every day. Very useful.

Only no hypocrisy in avoiding travel there if travel is also avoided to many other countries.

What an amazingly horrible, ignorant, and hypocritical comment.

I presume you've been there and witnessed this mass murder, torture, and famine first-hand? I also presume you can account for never having spent a single cent on any product that may have originated in North Korea (let's point out here that Korea trades a lot with China and China exports a fair amount to other countries...). I'd like to further presume that you can account for the North Korean government not spending a single cent earned from tourism on supporting the health, education, and general welfare of any of its citizens - normal every day people with jobs and families and interests? If I may make 1 more presumption - the government to which you may pay tax, as well as those to which you've ever contributed to via tourism, trade, or other means, have never spent any money whatsoever on anything that might be deemed unacceptable according to the current Western moral zeitgeist? How does China tourism fare with you? How about Saudi Arabia? Ever paid for anything from either of those countries?

While some tourism money obviously does go to into government programmes that most of us are going to disagree with, I don't think that's an argument against North Korean tourism altogether. Such programmes would likely continue with or without tourism money.

An agency offering North Korea tourism packages is not only serving a market demand (are you claiming that anyone who is interested in visiting North Korea is "disgusting"?!) but also offering an opportunity for increased understanding. There is value in what they're offering, to both North Korean people (not just their authoritarian government) and the people who visit.
