Unfortunately a lot of people nowadays don't seem to notice or care and you even get weird arguments like the one about "Go style" vs "GNU style" below. I've also heard arguments about making it more "user

When will these cars have a breakthrough in terms of UI and privacy (let's ignore the cost for a moment). I don't want to spend a shitload of money on an iPhone with wheels which doesn't even come with all the privacy promise

KB is a JEDEC thing where they invented a new shorthand prefix but re-used the Si prefix names of (kilo, mega, giga) while changing their meanings. They used capital K for kilo meaning 1024. It's certainly one of the dumbest standards

I heard of that one, have never tried it. I've always wondered how much of that is just the fact that it's some tiny farm vs actually tasting unique. I am spoiled for choice, I've modded my machine to be able to do electronic

I mean if you think about it, almost nobody here is a Barista (home or commercial), but most people here are technical. People don't realise the complexity of coffee when they haven't actually tried making espresso so it's no

Do you think stalking James Hoffman is a good way to make friends with him? Just taking notes. There are lots of local roasters but I'm a little bit too introverted to make friends that easily. I think making an electronically controll

Pact isn't ultra high end. Its pretty middle (maybe a bit better) of the road as far as UK roasters go. Ultra high end would be Gesha or something equivalent. Those often go for fun prices like £28 (and that is still on the low end) fo

Coffee is extremely finnicky and its really not as easy as you think to make even a passable shot when going between baskets with different doses. Even with an Italian dark roast. This isn't about making amazing shots of light roast co

Yeah it's a general rule, there are some exceptions, but they're less common than is worth challenging this claim for. Some drinks would be too strong to be made from a double, these will use a split single in countries where doub

> Huh? Most cafe's I see (Australia) the grinding is separate from the dispensing, and it is a single shot per pull. This is just not how espresso works. You can dose the same grind into a double basket and a single basket and you w

For #1: Ask any coffee professional (someone who actually knows what they're doing). Or just go walk around. Try to find a cafe which is using different portafilters with single spouts (an indication of a single shot basket). Or ask th

Starbucks makes coffee flavoured desert drinks. We are talking about specialty coffee shops. I've also never seen starbucks use a single shot basket to pour a single shot. They always just split, this is broadly the standard. Nobody ou

The actual premium beans are even more expensive. Yes at £20 per 350g I am paying slightly more than normal for "nice beans". But most places sell for no less than £10 per 250g of light roast. That's still 76p ($1) per shot.

Outside of Italy nobody uses single shot baskets. All espresso based drinks you will find will be double-based. And especially any place which is doing specialty coffee is going to be using larger doses to make extraction more consistent wi

PAT isn't exactly a particularly sophisticated benchmark. But then again, toasters aren't exactly idiot proof (neither are most things in the kitchen) so I guess as long as that case has a low impedance path to the earth pin, and

CodeWeavers are actually making wine, not just some "emulator". They then distribute this along with some QOL tools as a commercial product called CrossOver.

For that there is ra-multiplex (to which I contributed sockets support). I don't use any other LSPs which have a long warmup time, but if I did then they can also be used behind ra-multiplex.
