This is genius, and very well described.

Could be a meaningful bridge between “nocode” and code, avoiding what seems like a common pain point of eventual nocode limitations. I know there are other solutions in this space, but yours is very nicely done.

Please continue work on this, and yell out if you need collaborators.

Definitely something I'd like to do, but preferably with our new v5 codebase.

If I may, I'd like to take a moment to honour the memory of Scott R. Lemmon.

He was a hell of a coder, and person, and ten years after his passing his work is still hugely appreciated.

Cheers wherever you are Scott.

What if you have two slices of toast on your plate?
Re:Experiment: Eliminating Toast Sweat on Saturday April 12, 2014 @05:51AM (#7577433)
It's weird that we're thinking about anything, if you think about it enough.

And your thought raises the question: how much moisture do you actually want in your toast? Is zero acceptable?

I'm thinking very sensitive scales to measure both the bread and the plate before and after the test period, which should answer that question definitively.

The question now though is, how much would that condensation weigh? And hence how accurate do the scales need to be?

Great points, and added to the list of paths to explore for the next version.

Also hard to disagree with your suggestion as a new life path.

The global bread market is predicted to hit $170B by 2015 (GIA report), if we can capture the minds of just 1% of that market, then I'll be able to afford a better thermometer.

Fantastic insight. I did have trouble picking up a temperature at certain angles, but at 90 degrees it returned the highest reading, which still wasn't burning my hand so is probably not above the value registered.

Might have gotten away with it because it's stoneware of some kind, but will definitely try a tape patch next time.

Fantastic idea, and one of several great suggestions I'm taking note of for a followup piece. Thanks very much!

Another excellent question. At this stage, I had my sweat-free toast, and wanted breakfast, so no. I've made a note for the next set of tests though, thanks.

Excellent question, it was indeed hot to handle, but didn't burn. http://www.antiscald.com/prevention/general_info/table.php

Apologies for not thinking of this, fixed now, thanks :-)
