I mostly baked based on stuff from allrecipes website -- because they receips fit on one printed page that I then can keep in a pile in cupboard lol.

Every receipt I tried for making dough calls for about 1/3-1/2 tsp of sugar per 1 cup of flour/ This should take care of the issue without making dough taste too sweet.

@WelshPixie Thank you, now I know what to do when I bake for someone who is gluten free.

I'm going to experiment with rice and chickpea flour. I wonder if putting more yeast in the mix can tweak the texture.

@WelshPixie
Pizza pre-baking looks great.

Does rice flour in dough taste different/weird than white flour?

It looks like there are some regressions in Debian for linux-image-4.18.0-1-amd64 compared to linux-image-4.17.0-3-amd64 for for Ryzen 5 2400g.

In the older version of kernel ACPI sleep works and and nothing crashes wheres in 4.18.0-1 there are periodical crashes and the system refuses to wake up.

I'll submit a bug report, but without a stack trace it's everyone's guess about how useful it would be 🤷

TIL Python 3.7 datetime class has a method fromisoformat, that lets you convert ISO 8601 date string straight to datetime object.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.date.fromisoformat

Since toJson method emits dates in this format, this notation is pretty much universal, and in Python 3.7 no imports or custom parsers required to handle it.

I understand my ES6 woes now.

Firefox doesn't seem to support ES6 in debugger. I understand what is the technical reason behind that, still it's kind of weird that I either need to use console.log statement or use ES6 for writing code and Javascript for debugging.

My head hurts.

@Gargron Which compels me to ask -- please add 'contributing' section to describe contribution guidelines and point to current repos where PR requests could be submitted.

I would add this as a PR but I didn't find commits for this on source.joinmastodon.org, maybe this is a local branch?

@Gargron 100x yes! This page contains whole bunch of things that either everyone kept repeatedly asking during the last wave of sign-ons or something that took me a while to figure out.

One small suggestions -- as this document sets the tone for the users. Could you give a few examples of using cw, or even a screenshot of how using cw looks like? In my experience this is the thing new users get confused the most.

Overthinking it -- literary criticism of popular culture turned to 11 (that's how I know the plot of every marvel movie)
Hardcore history -- you must like history to listen to it, because each episode is 4 hours
Harmontown -- Dan Harmon complains.

@LibertyPaulM The 'linux CoC controversy' is in full gamergate mode now, the of whomever organizes this is to keep bringing it up -- that's all they can do, and there's nothing left to say for everyone else.

Apparently if I enable '--harmony' flag somewhere this will work

However I'm using webpack to build the module and so far I have no idea how to do it, in webpack.config.js I have babel loader that should understand ES6 natively,

{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
},

But when it comes to running code, that doesn't work for some reason.

I want to iterate over dictionary values.

In python its done like this

for v in mydict.values(): print(v)

In ES6 it is supposed to be done like this

for (let v in Object.entries(mydict)){console.log(v)}

This is a bit verbose, but ok. There's even nice MDN article about it -- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/entries

However this doesn't work because Node doesn't like it.

https://github.com/rails/webpacker/issues/1021

Something is wrong with node config and webpack doesn't traspile js file using es6. ES6 is slightly better than JS but I'm not sure how many hours I can dedicate to fixing this issue.

Compared to Python every bit of Node infrastructure is so complex that it makes me angry, and I can't use python because I need to run code inside the browser.
