As someone who really enjoys working with CSS, but also working with colleagues who struggle with it, I strongly recommend Kevin Powell’s YouTube channel.
He has touched on exact feature a few times, here’s a video he uploaded a week ago that shows one useful feature that registered properties enables: https://youtu.be/U8NykwZNbGs
Our first computer was an MS-Dos machine that our local high school were getting rid of back in 1994. I learned a lot from playing around on the machine, trying to understand the command line.
While I do use timers occasionally (mainly when baking or pressure cooking), I’m surprised to learn that people will set multiple timers just to caramelise onions.
I find that for most cooking tasks, sight and sound are more reliable indicators, and in many cases, the food will need to be stir or flipped so as not to burn.
Caramelizing—truly caramelizing[0]—onions is a slow process that takes close to an hour. For this kind of task, I think it’s helpful to be able to set timers and be in and out of the kitchen, rather than be stationed at the stovetop continuously.
This is semantics but I thought I'd chime in anyway. I don't think they were setting multiple timers, they were setting one timer multiple times, i.e. adjusting a single timer after doing said checks.
The gist I got from this poster is there is a lot going on in their kitchen at one time. They may have simplified the post to make a point? But they implied they are not just focusing on the onion during that time, but doing a whole lot of other prep and cooling work all at the same time.
Overnight oats / bircher muesli is served cold and requires no cooking. The time aspect is to give the oats time to absorb the liquid - cold oats swimming in freshly poured milk isn't the most appetising way to eat oats.
Of course you can "speed up" the process by blending them into a smoothie.
This looks very cool. Is anyone aware of something similar for Angular? We have a half-baked version that's been in pre-alpha for our webapp, but if there's something out of the box that we could leverage...
I'm not aware of anything. You could potentially use Puck directly if you wrap your Angular components inside React components for the purpose of editing, and build a custom version of `<Render>` that walks the data object and renders straight to angular.
Agreed, I enjoy his YouTube videos, but find other YouTubers who are make as-good or better content, but his articles on Serious Eats were in a league of their own.
There are gems in his videos, but it's a few tidbits here and there compared to the content in his written articles.
Many of these items are complety arbitrary. As someone who's been cooking some pretty elaborate dishes for over a decade, I don't actually recall ever coming across these two distinctions.
Why is cinnamon sugar "composite" whereas 5 spice is atomic? Who defines these? Are you suggesting that if you use packaged cinnamon sugar on donuts you can't claim to have made them?
For reference, I mostly roast and grind from whole spices. If I need garam masala, Chinese 5 spice, Lebanese 7 spice, etc, I'll make it from scratch. If I new cumin or coriander powder, etc, I'll grind them in my spice grinder.
Are you suggesting that jarred pasta sauce and pizza are different to each other? Following your criteria, I'd classify both as composite.
Not to say that I disagree with most of the list - there's a distinction between highly processed and cooking dishes from scratch, but it's more nuanced than what you've presented here.
