This is so fucking cursed.

What if Python, but less legible?

Easy. Redirect the mob towards the Black king with an impassioned speech.

Oh funny I love my upper thumb. Esc/` on one side and Del on the other. So not high traffic, but close when I need them.

Yet again sanitization and preparation of training inputs proves to be a much harder problem to solve then techbros think.

FWIW, Lance buys the machines himself using his patron funds and doesn’t let manufacturers into his process. Most don’t even know they’re being reviewed unless he has issues or specific questions he can’t get the answers to elsewhere. He’s frankly more qualified to test and compare such features than nearly anyone else, since he has thousands of hours of stick time with hundreds of machines at this point.

To get back to the bulk of your question, in many other industries where water heating is done, there’s cheap thermoblocks and good thermoblocks.

Double boilers have been around long enough that improvements today are incremental at best. Heat Exchangers and Thermoblocks on the other hand seem to be improving by leaps and bounds still, and Thermoblocks in particular are getting a lot of development in other industries.

It looks like Ascaso is using decent blocks and is properly PID controlling them. Obviously it’s not going to be as stable as say a full brass double boiler, but the results seem to outperform most heat exchangers.

Value is tricky though. You’re right, it’s a crowded market at that price. Personally at this moment, given this review at face value I’d still go with a Silvia Pro X today. But I expect in a few more years heat blocks might be able to match performance with dual boilers for cheaper and with less work.

Sure, but he is the product of a team owner’s genitals, so really they just need to let him get back to playing in his sandbox with his million dollar toy.

Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.

It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.

4 years with my Iris V2. My only 2 complaints are that I didn’t like the default layering layout in QMK and that I couldn’t wait for V4.

Incredible keyboard.

I also highly recommend the Otemu Silent Sky switches I used in it, though sourcing them is a real pain. Tactile, buttery smooth, good resistance curves, and utterly silent.

2015 latest revision with DDR3. That’s not living, that’s palliative care.

In all seriousness, OpenPOWER and Power9 look cool, but they’re still fighting to overcome the issues IBM and Motorola designed into the architecture. Fairly modern OpenPower9 example here https://www.raptorcs.com/
