If you use OCR to copy the entierty of a book and it became legit after doing so , I'd argue that the laws around that make little sense.

They also require something to feed on, like grass. Water has next to no nutrients or energy.

I own all the books by Heydon (their webbed briefs videos are also worth a watch!) and I've also bought the Eleventy course by Andy. They're both excellent chaps and great educators as well. Andy was also one of the persons behind the revamped content on Google's https://web.dev.

They both truly demonstrate how to build robust and accessible websites with properly structured elements and how to tame obscure layout quirks.

I recommend perusing the content they produce. If I can suggest a few more people, I can also strongly recommend Max Böck and Manuel Matuzovic as well.

oops I misread that as 500ml of water, not 1500ml.

Apply more force and vigor!

The same amount takes roughly 10 seconds with my Baratza grinder :) I don't really care for hand grinding myself anylonger but if I had to choose between a hand grinder and store ground, I'd always pick the grinder.

That's not entirely true. Blade grinders are simply breaking the beans unevenly. There's even scientific studies on how bean temperature affects how much fines they produce when grinding.

That's really strong coffee unless your steep time is very slow or the grind is coarse. I think your guests will most likely not go for a second serving :p

Normal filter grinded store bought coffee is too coarse so you'll need a grinder for that anyways.

Author didn't say that everyone needs to fix their habits or anything. It wasn't pretentious at all. It gave some solid tips on where it most often goes wrong if you want to go from mediocre coffee to great.

I don't measure my own coffee on a scale from "terrible" to "enjoyable" because they're all for a different purpose and mindset. The main point is that people enjoy their coffee. If they're often finding the experience lacking, then they should try to fix the process.

I left a few comments below and consider myself a "snob" basically when it comes to coffee. I don't think that it does have to mean that you're exclusively only drinking expensive and well done coffee.

I still drink preground basic grocery store coffee every day and it's fine. Co. paring the two is like saying you want to taste fine and expensive wines and you'll never drink wine just to get drunk.

I'm actually not that often even in a mindset where I can make the most of my more expensive coffee and I drink the cheap stuff then.

Different coffee types and roasts differ in volume. Darker roasts tend to be lighter which translate to more volume in the beans and less in the actual grinded coffee.

If you buy only one type of coffee and it's consistently the same roast level, then there shouldn't be a huge difference if you measure accurately.

But for me, I buy a different coffee bag every time and one scoop of a light roasted Ethiopian coffee will definitely not be equivalent of some darker Guatemalan coffee for example.

You don't need to measure it thrice though. Just measure the beans before grinding them and then calculate how much water you'll need. I also use the 60 grams of coffee per liter of water, ie 16:1 water/coffee ratio as a starting point. Then just measure the water with a scale or by volume.

Yeah, if you have to grind more than one cup each time, it can get a bit tiresome. I got my first electric grinder after a few months of cranking it by hand.

But for many, it's also just a part of the ritual and charm. I mean, if you really go at it, it shouldn't take more than 20 seconds per cup.

Why I don't necessarily agree about tap water: many countries have excellent tap water and it's perfectly fine to use. If you have an automatic machine you might have to descale it a few times a year but it's perfectly fine for brewing coffee. Bottled water can often have more impurities than Finnish tap water.

Why I don't necessarily agree about temperature: coffee beans are already roasted at temperatures far hotter than 100 celcius. Any oils that would get lost due to temperature, have already evaporated at that point. If the water is too cold (like 90C or less), you risk under extracting the coffee. I think boiling is a perfectly acceptable temperature and don't notice any difference between that and 96C.

As a coffee enthusiast, I can wholeheartedly vouch each and every one of the points raised in the article, except maybe the tap water and temperature.

The biggest upgrade you can do on your setup is getting a proper coffee grinder with burrs and not blades. There's little sense in buying any fancier beans if you're grinding them in store and drinking it over a period of several weeks. In a matter of hours after grinding, the coffee will be almost as stale as it'll be in two weeks' time.

Hand grinders like Hario Skerton go for like 50 USD and something like Wilfa Svart Aroma for around 100. If you don't need espresso-level fine, then it's more than great.

Great coffee doesn't have to be expensive. If you have a local roaster and they offer single origin coffee at a sane price point, you'll make your money back in a few months time if you're an avid fan of take out coffee.

An Aeropress and electric mill will cost about 140 dollars and for example approx 20 cups of Intelligentsia coffee will cost roughly a dollar per cup. That's top shelf coffee, compared with mediocre Starbucks black coffee which will cost you double that.

I'd much rather pay for some 15 year old single malt whiskey and pay less per portion than buying Jack Daniel's from the local drinkhole.

Some people, like Internet Historian puts some effort in and the sponsor segments are actually entertaining and I don't mind watching those. Some people also do the quick shout out that takes some 10 seconds and they're fine too.

I also watch some meme compilations with my SO and they're usually pretty different. I appreciate that compiling those memes into one video is for the convenience of the viewer but the original video creators don't benefit from those, only the ones making the compilations so I don't want to support that. On top of that, there are some channels that have several minutes long product ads inside the video, not the normal YouTube adverts. I simply hate those.

I had 0 issues when I've stopped, I've been on Voxra (bupropion) and Escitalopram. Meds that cause brain zaps like Voxra need to be stopped over a longer period of time, for me I got off them in a month after being on the max dose but for many that's way too fast as well.

it's actually neumorphic and not skeuomorphic

I mean, they're kinda in the similar style and I think the naming of vaporwave is intentionally borrowing from vaporware.

Vaporware is tech and products that had a beautiful idea that never came to fruitition and vaporware makes music out of tracks that used to belong but don't any longer. There's a similar feeling of abandonment and emphasis on feelings of being in the wrong place and the wrong time.

If you haven't heard, you should also check out Mitch Murder's Businessfunk mixtapes.

Last.fm used to be popular and still does an alright job at that. Usage numbers are down so there might be less variety, but I especially liked the "neighbours" to find people with similar music taste and then I lurked at what they played and I hadn't heard myself before.

depends on your font, in monospace it's equally long as any other letter.

Rarely have I ever seen a serious tutorial or guide be so wrong on so many levels. I was flabbergasted, entertained and felt pity at the same time. Truly a train wreck of a video, would strongly recommend watching.

No that's not a Netlify thing, it's most likely how the website is just configured.

UI and UX are two very different things. UI is any interface an user might use, be it a app on a phone screen, voice commands etc.

User experience is the study in how to optimize an users' experience, so that they can solve issues or tasks faster, easier or better. UX might affect how an app behaves or how it looks but it isn't tightly tied into the visuals of an application. Aesthetics are just a small part of UX but usually a rather big part in UI.

The filesaä are quarantined, not removed. You can restore them on the other OS as well.

Stated intent maybe yes, but that's only optics. Censorship is just meant to preserve the powers in control, be they good or bad.

It sadly doesn't make a difference. I have about a dozen keygens on my machine and they get quarantined unless they're zipped behind a password or zipped into a 7z.

Just downloading a zip with a keygens inside, it gets removed from the zip before even unarchiving it.

I share a similar feeling and a somewhat similar story as well as you do.

I've been making websites actively since I was maybe 14, my first one being at 12 years old with frontpage and uploading it to the municipal's shared FTP host during a summer camp. That's almost 20 years ago for me.

I never really stopped, but I kinda fell off the wagon around the time JS begun to be a thing and we moved from the brand spanking HTML5 and CSS3 to all the new stuff they've bolted on in the last decade or so.

The bar for getting employed in webdev these days are way higher than before. The simple hobbyist with a text editor splicing images into divs or tables just has to be that much better and know so much more to get things done right.

Like you said, it's all for a good reason as well. Tech is much more ubiquitous and just having a website isn't enough when businesses actually need to have backend and frontend functionality on their sites, things that weren't really necessary before.

I moved into full-time design some years ago because that's still largely something you can do without amassing a ton of knowledge. UX design mostly just requires a right mindset for problem solving and there's a lot of research already available, like if design pattern a or b usually works better. So you just have to apply your creativity for the most part. It's not relying on learning a new programming language or fixing some obscure layout bug or making sure your backend API isn't full of security holes.

I'm also saddened by the fact that what we're once a type of needy artsy hobby has been broken into a thousand sub-jobs in which you need to specialize.

It's not entirely impossible to manage the whole stack, but I've yet to see a solid full-stack coder who can actually build a solid backend on a fully configured secured server and manage the devops pipelines while also being a competent frontend developer with an eye for aesthetics and who understands usability.

There's a difference between having the option to wear something less covering (be it to show off, for its' functionalities or whatever) versus being forced wear something that is skimpy by design.
