LOC? Line of Code? Surely 1-2 LOCs is significantly less than any recipe.

- icegreentea2 6y agoI'm guess it's "Library of Congress"
- aspenmayer 6y agoYeah, that’s what I meant. I was going for a visual metaphor that might be lost if I just said some number of bytes.
- aspenmayer 6y agoI meant Library of Congress, an anachronistic visual metaphor related to data storage from the 1990s, perhaps earlier? In 2012, 1 LoC was roughly equivalent to ~3 PB (petabytes). I remember first seeing it on Slashdot way back in the day, before they had user moderation or user meta-moderation. https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2012/04/a-library-of-congress-worth-of-data-its-all-in-how-you-define-it/ https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2012/04/a-library-of-congres... If you save the source document, the code needed to parse your recipe archive is likely to be pretty short. Then you have a corpus to do A/B testing of your recipe parsing code against. Side note: I feel that moderation and later meta-moderation system on Slashdot was the most transparent, fun, positive moderation system I’ve ever been part of. I wish HN had more than just up and downvotes, for instance. User meta-moderation would help reduce flamewars immensely IMO. https://slashdot.org/moderation.shtml https://slashdot.org/moderation.shtml https://slashdot.org/faq/metamod.shtml https://slashdot.org/faq/metamod.shtml
