What is this in rebuttal to? I don't see any claim of being open source on https://grayjay.app/.

Late reply but I'll share what I know...

I have the best results when I rinse dry beans in cold water, put freshly rinsed beans and enough cold water to cover plus an extra inch into the pot, add salt and a few drops of oil, cook on high pressure.

Depending the type of beans and how fresh they are the cooking time and release process is different. For black-eyed peas that are fairly fresh 6 minutes at pressure and waiting 10 minutes after the "keep warm" cycle is best for me. For older peas it can take an extra 1 to 2 minutes.

That's for creamy mouthfeel. If you want firm ones for salads or whatever I find upping the salt and cooking an extra minute at pressure followed by immediately releasing the pressure and allowing to cool gives the best results.

I tend to buy 25 lbs at a time from the restaurant supply. Those are often extremely fresh and cheap. Like $0.60 per pound ($14-15 per bag). The first two or three batches don't come out right but they teach me everything I need to know to cook that rest of that bag intuitively.

GL!

Amen! I try to always prepare from dry beans. Canned beans are never as tasty and cost 10 times as much. The InstantPot makes it take under a minute of work and less than a 40 minute wait. If you can plan 40 minutes ahead there is no reason to bust into cans on the regular.

One of the worst parts of traveling is the difficulty of finding my daily helping of beans.

I can't find any evidence of that. Are you perhaps thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris made from stones in the whale digestive system?

This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It's still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you're right about the hype train hitting me. :)

What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

Honestly it's been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what's popular. I'm excited about other programmers being excited.

I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?

These are Linux laptops. But yes, they'll work better if you put your preferred distro on them.

Fun stuff :)

Part of what make Python amazing is pip and everything that's already been built. For a strongly typed and statically typed language with a large and growing ecosystem I'm drawn to Rust even though I don't think it's pretty.

Johnson & Johnson as well as Avon have paused investments and have very similar products. I have good skin with Dove but https://www.amazon.ca/Aveeno-Moisturizing-Colloidal-Oatmeal-Soap-Free/dp/B06VTWRWGJ worked great for me too. I wouldn't get it from Amazon though.

nim looks good at a glance. I tend to stick with marketable programming languages so there are so many I don't know about. I personally think that using the optional strong typing features are enough to make Python a joy to use. But yes, other people's code can be cumbersome.

Python is probably the top non-systems language for productivity and expressiveness right now if you use type hints.
