  • Using some gadgets in a kitchen isn't science. Science is a process through which you perform research in a way as to eliminate bias. Hoffman doesn't do science. None of those things you listed determine how good the coffee will taste. And modifying any one of them might have no effect at all. The only way to know is by doing unbiased taste tests while controlling variables.

    If you haven’t had the opportunity to try different coffees prepared different ways, then that’s unfortunate for you. If you have and you can’t taste the differences, maybe that’s on you? The only people I’ve ever met with so little ability to distinguish tastes were smokers.

    What a shitload of stupid straw man arguments that don't even deserve a reply. I said nothing about my personal ability to discerns flavor. I was commenting on pseudoscientific youtubers who don't publish their taste testing methodology and are prone to bias. It's well documented that when a person thinks something is special (including a preparation method) they rate it higher.

    So anyway, do you find using three jiggles or four gives the optimal taste when using a plastic V60? I'm dying to know.

  • It's all placebo effect. That James Hoffman guy is the worst. "In our taste tests..." Are your taste tests double blind? I highly doubt it.

    "You gotta jiggle it three times after 36 seconds then add 13 drops of 210.3° water between the filter and the brewer. Equally spaced, of course."

    The worst part is the pseudoscientific rationalization about what each step does to the final product.

    "This step balances the acidity and oxygenation."

  • Why do short videos have to loop automatically with no way to turn it off? Who the hell decided that was a good idea and why has every other app followed suit?

    I especially hate the ones designed to loop because they think it's "so clever".

    "Never play with liquid mercury
    It's really bad for your health and shit
    That's why you should..."

  • I read all three of the main books by the author. There's definitely some good stuff in there. Really thought provoking stuff. And a lot of crap. Crap physics, crap characters, crap writing style, and way too many plots.

    Condensing it down to a TV series might be the best thing that can be done with it.

  • There's not even a 64GB LCD anymore.

    There is, and it's only $349. Huge savings over the base OLED if you don't need the battery life or 90 hz, etc., and you can upgrade the SSD at some point.

  • The language settings do not work. Some hugely high percentage of comments and posts have an "undetermined" language because Lemmy doesn't force you to choose a language when submitting something. And then there is federated content from programs that don't even have a language setting.

    If you block "undetermined", you block almost all content, and then there's no point in even being here.

    What we might need is code to identify the language of a comment and assigning it automatically while allowing it to be changed if it makes a mistake. I imagine it would annoy multilingual people having to switch their configured language every time they make a comment, so just make it automatic by using a language model. That's the kind of thing a language model would be really good at.

    Until we have something like that, the language settings are useless.

  • I'm sorry, but I will continue to downvote exactly one post in every stupid anime community right before I block it. We don't need a separate community for every single anime ever made clogging everyone's feed with boring pictures of characters.

    My single downvote in each community is helping to shape Lemmy as a whole, and I'm certain it's very effective at doing so. It's definitely not just a childish tantrum. No, sir!

  • The additional line breaks aren't doing anything, as I'm sure you can see.

    The indent should be an option, if anything. At large font sizes, or small screens, that forced indent might be wasting a lot of space. Especially for nested lists.

    Although, as it turns out, Sync barely indents nested lists. That alone makes it hard to read, too.

    I'd support the indent you mention. It would make nested lists much easier to read, too.

  • The salt is stored in the same table as the hash. All the salt does is prevent super easy rainbow table attacks. You can still attack the passwords with brute force. Most people still use simple passwords that barely satisfy password requirements like password1!. There are freely available cracking algorithms that target the same "clever" password patterns that everyone uses. It greatly reduces the time it takes to crack passwords, and if you have a table with a million passwords in it, it'll only take a couple days on a few GPUs to crack 15,000 of the simpler ones.

  • Fallout 76 was a nice change of pace, graphically. It was crap gameplay at launch, but it sure was pretty. I wonder if it's worth another playthrough now that it has human NPCs and raiders and such.

    Hell, I don't even know what platform I bought it on and if my account it still active.
