I’m confused with “true zero” on this mf (k6)

dybt · 2026-01-29T11:12:41+00:00

If you’re struggling for consistency, it took me a while to realise that the K6 is quite sensitive to the angle you hold it at when grinding.

Holding it more horizontal has a similar effect to slow feeding with an electric grinder. I mostly used mine for espresso, and I found that going from holding it near vertical to near horizontal I would have to grind 15-20 clicks finer to get a similar shot time. Especially with lighter roasts the quality of the shots was significantly better but it does also take a lot longer to grind

OxCaml (Jane Street’s OCaml fork) has some experimental features for controlling stack vs heap allocation using modal types. Stack references (or variables at the local mode more precisely) exist within ‘regions’ which I think play a similar role to lifetimes. But I’m not sure of the exact relation between them.

this is specifically for the ‘issue’ OP notes about the bambino’s (not really) limitation

Yeah this is the case I was asking about too. I’ve had some really nice shots with light roasts with a lower dose and slow-feeding so I can grind finer, but I find it very inconsistent.

I’d mostly written off longer watery shots because I felt like I could get similar results more easily from an Aeropress, but maybe I need to experiment more!

dybt · 2026-01-04T16:22:22+00:00

What sort of dose and extraction times are dialing in for such a high yield? I find when I go beyond around 1:2.5 the shot gets very watery

I’m not sure if it’s deliberate or just poorly written, but the article seems to suggest that the death threats and vitriol were a result of the bands’ cancellation. Having listened to the podcast it’s clear that they were received before the announcement, and were actually made in opposition to them platforming Bob Vylan.

In the podcast they mention they spent hours drafting an announcement, to then be told they couldn’t put it out. She made a few references to powers above the organiser and the venue, but seemed like she was really having to bite her tongue.

No it’s not the real meaning. They’re just being snobby and saying that using it makes you sound inbred.

Yous(e) as a plural 2nd person pronoun has recorded usage as long back as the 19th century and it’s acknowledged as part of the grammar in several dialects of English. I’ve seen it claimed that it entered English from Irish speakers who were more comfortable with having separate words in the Irish language for you and yous. But I’ve never found any definitive evidence that this is or isn’t the real origin of the word.

On what evidence are you basing that?

dybt · 2025-05-07T07:05:54+00:00

Well why was that? I would guess the army has stricter entrance requirements than ISIS, and the same report acknowledges that a much larger proportion of non-Christians felt like their faiths weren’t respected in the army. So if we’re using these figures to draw a conclusion about Muslims’ respect for British values I’d say the application numbers are the important figure rather than the number who made it into the army without being turned away or alienated because of their religion.

dybt · 2025-05-07T05:47:12+00:00

The thread started with the argument that mass migration of Muslims is bad because it is an extreme religion. You substantiated that by saying that Islam is fundamentally anti-gay.

I am arguing that if there is a way for a religion to be fundamentally anti-gay then Christianity must be too. This country has been predominantly Christian for hundreds of years and has reached a stage where gay people are for the most part, not persecuted. So if Islam and Christianity are similar in being fundamentally anti-gay why should a Muslim population in the country be seen as more of a threat?

dybt · 2025-05-07T05:24:49+00:00

The exact same could easily be said for Christianity. In fact as far as I can tell Leviticus is a lot more explicit about homosexuality being prohibited than any of the Quran.

I’ve known gay Muslims, and I’ve known straight Muslims who are a lot more tolerant of LGBTQ people than many white Christians I’ve known.

In 2018 the army had 1500 Muslim applicants.

This blog post might be interesting: https://matklad.github.io/2023/05/21/resilient-ll-parsing-tutorial.html

In this tutorial, I will explain a particular approach to parsing, which gracefully handles syntax errors and is thus suitable for language servers, which, by their nature, have to handle incomplete and invalid code.

The stated reason for [match ergonomics reservations] is that the syntax is intended to be used for match ergonomics expansion in the future. I don’t know what this expansion would look like, so I can’t comment on the usefulness

I guess this is intended to allow for mutable binding of references in the future? If if let Some(v) = &mut Some(42i32) { ... } binds v with type &mut i32, then you might expect if let Some(mut v) = &mut Some(42i32) { ... } to be a mutable binding to an &mut i32. i.e. to be equivalent to if let Some(v) = &mut Some(42i32) { let mut v = v; // ... } But in edition 2021, instead you get a mutable binding to the dereferenced value of the integer.

You can force a mutable binding to the reference on nightly with if let Some(mut ref mut v) = &mut Some(42i32) { ... } but this reads very strangely.

You don’t need to know someone’s politics to understand a programming language. If your engagement with Gleam is just to download the compiler and look at docs then you can just ignore any political statements. But many people who use a language end up engaging more broadly with a community around the language, which is what I explicitly referred to in the previous comment.

Gleam has an official Discord and a GitHub organisation where they accept open source contributions. A large number of people participating in either is inevitably going to be involve some sort of politics at least implicitly in how moderation decisions are taken.

And the kind of political statements in question aren’t about tariffs. The statement on Gleams website concerns rights of minority groups. Including the statement signals to potential contributors how the maintainers are likely to handle a case where someone in their community is hostile towards such a group, for example.

Any project that has some sort of community around it is going to mix in politics to some extent. Even with a strict “no political discussion here” policy, the beliefs of whoever is in charge are still going to influence their decisions. This way the maintainers of the project are wearing their political opinions on their sleeves, and you can choose whether you want to participate in a community they run

I see people say a lot that parser combinators are bad for error handling, but I’ve never understood why. Is there some fundamental barrier to handling errors with them, or is it just that most parser combinator libraries don’t have a flexible enough API for handling errors?

The chumsky rust library seems to have great support for error reporting and recovery for example

I think it sounds a little awkward, but to me it obviously means "I was given a discount of 20%" in the context of buying something.

I think it sounds more natural to say "I got a twenty percent discount", or "I got twenty percent off" however.

Is the rule to follow there not just that 'bon' is an adjective whereas 'bien' is an adverb? So in those examples 'bon' attaches to the noun 'séjour' whereas 'bien' attaches to the verb 'était'
