    Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking ‘he wants two chopstic pieces?’ and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.

    Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.




  • I feel like there are some missed opportunities

    • Sensors that don’t work because a proprietary driver is missing
    • Having to add repositories to get wifi working
    • Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
    • More tool windows
    • More xorg.conf to get displays working
    • A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
    • 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
    • Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

    Because I have no life, I looked it up.

    Bread in Finland is about 0.1 usd per slice Low quality cheese is about 8 usd / kg, assuming you need about 20g/portion that’s 0.16 usd. Total is about 36c per portion.

    If we assume power consumption of 5kw for the whole operation and power cost of 20c/kWh, that’s 1usd/h

    Assuming sales of 60 units per hour -one per minute, thats 60 usd of revenue per hour and 22.6 usd of non labor cost, it leaves 37.4e for labor, taxes, permits, tools, fuel.

    It’s at least only feasible in high volume locations.

    I use gimp daily, but it is still far, far behind photoshop from when I was studying and that was pre 2010.

    The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.

    It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I’m still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.
