A game is fun. Software that prevents you from doing what you want with it is neither of those things.

Set your sights on GitHub, VSCode and npm.

Who works in a GUI editing unflattened JSON like so much Markdown.


How many years were they on the market before they added a dust buster to the dock? 3-4?


False.

Nobody writes for beginners.

Beginners who hope to be Enders know this and so grok the whatits before whinging.


Get a granton or perforated blade instead


Those don’t vibrate like my Japanese animes


Making the edge is sharpening. Removing the ripples in it is honing.


This is the first time I've heard someone say honing is very important, when I was first learning this, I was told that it was the next thing to pseudoscience!


Absolutely not. A blade can stay sharp for a much longer period of time than it can stay honed. The edge of a piece of paper is extremely sharp, but it only cuts you in specific circumstances due to being difficult to maintain a firm edge.

A knife's edge is closer to that than you'd think. At the scales of sharpness of a good knife, it's impossible to keep the edge straight for very long. A honing rod quickly brings these back in line. I hone knives after maybe a week of use; it only takes a few seconds.

And this is a comically easy property to test. Use a "dull" knife then hone it and try again. It will cut drastically better.


Carefully? Professionally? Except which knife stall at which farmers market wants the job?

Learning to sharpen the (correct) knife (for the task) will do as much or more for the chef who struggles here.

Prepping 1000 lemons? An ultrasonic knife is not your answer.


Was this made with v0?


These are cool to remember. I recently sat down at a diner counter with my young daughter for one of her first experiences and the Florida placemat provided some multi-generational continuity that I appreciated.
