Shifty Pony posted:as a patent examiner let me tell you that this is very much not limited to kickstarter. how do you stay even a little bit sober? phone apps are a great way to kick UI and complex logic out to a more forgiving development environment, plus you don't have to fit a display or buttons. I think it's a great trend. sometimes the apps are lovely, but are people building lovely apps really going to do a great job on a custom UI on the thing itself?

yeah but idk maybe i don't want whoever the gently caress made my skillet to be reading my text messages, knowing my location at all times, and knowing who is in my contacts book. maybe that's just me though

welcome to the future of gaming, called the cybermatrix 100. this console has had so many failures but my console eats these failures and turns them into succussors, how? simple! i learn from these fails and try to work through them. however, when they get too high, when things get too tough, that's when i have to back off and do again tomorrow or the day after. anyway, for those who are dying for my console's diagrams and want to help, please donate 1000 dollars usd and i'll send them to you through drop box. best, schaun i dont want to watch the video

Soricidus posted:to the extent that this is how you learn to cook in the first place, sure. the goal should be to gain independence from recipes, though, except for special occasions when you want to cook something fancy, and even then you need to be independent enough to deal with substitutions and so forth. a recipe should be inspiration, not dogma. this is the horseshit fantasy of every suburban housewife the best restaurant meals are produced by precise adherence to a recipe, with all tasks performed by experienced craftsmen. those flavors and experiences are possible specifically because there are no substitutions and no fuckups every idiot dreams of being such a good cook that it's effortless and any given ingredient just magically shines. but that's not how real life works. if you want to do something more complicated than meat and potatoes and have it come off reliably, you're gonna have to suppress your urge to improvise unsurprisingly i sometimes enjoy cooks illustrated, the epitome of "gently caress you" to improvisation

i agree with notorious bsd. it's really frustrating when my wife sends me a recipe and says make this for dinner, and then it turns out we're missing like half the ingredients, and she's all, oh just leave them out, it'll be fine. no it won't be, it never is.

like tonight is 'spinach calzones', i don't have a recipe and it's going to be pretty ad hoc, but i have the big picture stuff mapped out (fry spinach + mushrooms + onions until soft, put in bowl w/ shredded mozzarella and maybe some goat cheese crumbles, mix with sauce, also roll out the defrosted dough and wrap stuff up, bake 15 minutes @ 400 until done) and its gonna be good

i used to share a house with a 'cooks illustrated' guy, we were both excited about moving in b/c huge kitchen, i think he made fewer than ten dishes the whole year we were there, all out of cooks illustrated recipes, he had all sorts of gadgets and knives and hardware, meanwhile I'm cooking for myself 5 mights a week, never using recipes, eating all sorts of tasty stews and curries
