  • Yeah, this is one of those constant annoyances that you kinda just live with. It doesn’t matter that much, because compound words were at some point not one word, and there may be separate words that you use today that will join together during your career. Electronic mail became e-mail became email. As long as the casing doesn’t hide the meaning, you’re doing it right. Also be consistent. Don’t recreate such monstrosities as XMLHttpRequest.

    After doing some searching, hydration ratios matter, but also kinda don’t. Here’s a good article on the topic. You can find entirely too much information on the topic here.

    By weight is pretty standard, so I’ll probably split this into 2, so we can observe the differences.

    The only thing I really wanted to demonstrate with this series is that you don’t need anything more than flour and water. Since I was doing this anyways, I figured I might as well share the process and show how simple and easy it is. Also this community needs some activity!

    I’m very excited to get to baking with the starter(s) when they’re ready!

    Most of my books use 1:1 by volume, and I’ve never had any issues. When baking I use the Tassajara sponge method, which is 1:1 by weight with an overnight rise before working into a dough.

    I’m sure 1:1 by weight would work, too. You’ll be along for the ride, so we’ll see how it goes!

    On Tuesday afternoon, researchers’ fears were confirmed. The pod of almost 100 long-finned pilot whales rushed to the shore, stranding themselves on Cheynes Beach near Albany, in southern Western Australia.

    By Wednesday, 52 of the whales had died, the authorities said. A team of local volunteer and conservation officials managed to move the remaining 45 back into the water and attempted to herd them back out to sea, using boats and kayaks to guide them. However, that afternoon, the whales re-stranded themselves further along the beach, the authorities said. The Australia Broadcasting Corporation reported that the whales had again formed a huddle before drifting back to shore.





  • Wildfires driven by an extreme heatwave have encircled Palermo after temperatures in the Sicilian city climbed to 47C (117F) on Monday.

    But while the heat stifles the south, northern regions continued to bear the brunt of bad weather caused by the arrival of cooler air from northern Europe, with more torrential rain and gales forecast in Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.

    Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, said residents endured a sleepless night as winds exceeded 63 mph (100 km/h).

    Sala said: “What we are seeing is not normal. We can no longer deny that climate change is changing our lives. We can no longer turn a blind eye, and above all, we can’t not do anything.”

    The civil protection minister, Nello Musumeci, said: “Climate change is not just a contingency and Italy must realise that it now has a tropical climate. On one hand, we are paying the price of climate change, for which we should have paid more attention several years ago, and, on the other, of infrastructure that does not seem to be totally adequate for the new context.

    The COP28 will certainly be interesting.






    1. Code in Emacs or Jetbrains (depends on language and laptop cpu)
    2. Run make to build, run, debug, or clean (I like makefiles for documenting basic tasks)
    3. Commit with git when chunk of work is done

    I tend to do everything locally on bare metal. I never liked putting stuff in containers or running a vm.

    VS Code is a great editor, though. It actually feels a bit like Emacs.
