https://rpilocator.com is great for finding Pi's closer to MSRP. You just have to waif for them to be in stock.

I've been using MailMate[1] on MacOS, but I don't know any other email clients that render Markdown.

My email app _Mailtemi_ actually does HTML -> Markdown. Still curious, is it worth going this direction?

I'm using Markdown for email preview, local search, etc. In the future I think about experimenting with voice mail. Something like "Read all important emails", which will skip all marketing, updates, or forums. Also I have an experimental feature email to be viewed always in Markdown.


Thanks for the tip, looks great i will definitely give it a try.

For €62, i wonder how often a new version arrives / i'll have to buy/upgrade again...

Try replacing `medium.com` with `scribe.rip`: https://scribe.rip/s/story/the-long-way-round-the-plane-that...

https://scribe.rip is an alternative frontend to Medium.


TIL, thanks!


There is a page titled "Where do I start?" on Brandon Sanderson's website: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/where-do-i-start/


This is like playing https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ without seeing the country shape (since I do not know much about world trade). I love it – especially because it teaches me something new!


Sometimes I have trouble visualizing what country could be in that direction from the place I guessed, so having the exports is pretty helpful. Not every country would be capable of exporting Catalytic converters and centrifuges.


I just wanted to shout out Cooking For Engineers even though it’s only moderately related. Its format for recipes is so quick to read. I would love to see CookLang integrate this style of recipe viewing.

I prefer the Modernist Cuisine Format:

It's the best I've seen for being able to easily follow along. I also really appreciate their diligence with scaling factors since that tends to be a huge pain point for me with other recipes.


But specifying everything in grams looks like a practical nightmare for normal home cooks. 0.1g of a spice? Verses 1/4 teaspoon?


You're always free to take an accurate recipe and make it less accurate. You can't go the other way round.


Every home cook should have a digital scale. They cost like $20. And yes, for subgrams, you can always estimate 'a pinch', 1/4 tsp, etc...

By weight is more accurate, almost never exceeds the max of a home scale and simply throwing everything into one bowl, taring the scale each time is quicker too.


Most home kitchen scales have gram accuracy, but I doubt the calibration procedures lend themselves to even that level of accuracy.

Throwing in a bowl works to a point, but if you accidentally dump too much in, you might have a hard time removing the extra 1g.


Honestly, I haven't found many ingredients where you do it to the gram. A few like spices, salt or baking powder you just do it to taste or assume a tsp is enough, for that one item.

A scale still beats measuring cups n things.


It definitely seems like it would be possible to generate something like this in cooklang, as long as you specified everything in grams.


Are these scaling factors baker's percentages? What is the purpose? I.e. what do you use them for? And if these are specified for all recipes, what do you use as the 100% for recipes that aren't based around flour?


They are baker's percentages! The reference ingredient is always set to 100% in the recipe. In the case of the one I linked it would be Chicken, drumsticks.


This project generates recipes in this format from a custom language:

https://github.com/mossblaser/recipe_grid

I use it regularly and it works well!


This looks amazing, thanks for sharing!


It would be great to generate diagrams. Seems like cooklang would need something extra to define dependent/parallel steps.


I have been using Working Copy[0] for this. It is super full-featured and the developer is super cool for making everything free for students through the GitHub Student Developer Pack.
