Oshit TIL I only spent money on my album because I’m a dumbass. If I were smart and produced it for free, I could have a whole $10 of net Spotify revenue.

I don’t ever use a dishwasher, so I have no idea what works in those things 😂

Fwiw, this was also on HN yesterday. Never tried it myself, though:

^ fwiw, I have one of these, prefer lighter roasts, and prefer the taste of paper filters. So checks out I guess. I do like the fabric filter, though.

I use something similar that I bought in Taiwan as a backup to paper filters, since I am often traveling and can’t always find v60-style filters. Some thoughts:

• It can be annoying to clean
• When I want more than a rinse, I wash it extra by boiling it in tea; that seems to work well.
• It does have a bit of a different flavor compared to paper. As a light-roast drinker who grinds with a Timemore C3, I prefer paper for taste. In the James Hoffman vid other people linked, he describes it as “extra richness and body” for light roasts, but I kinda describe it more as “clouding some of the bite and clarity”. It’s definitely still quite good, and I still prefer the cloth over French press.
• I do find it quite convenient for my use as a backup to paper filters in my “ultra-portable” setup.

Pictured here with small *PAT Tetradrip. A proper v60 is 100% better taste than the Tetradrip; but it’s a really convenient foldy-size.

Whoa those space ones are really cool!

It’s like you’re building headphone chimeras. I didn’t realize you could just buy brand parts like that!

So I’ve been trying to learn Spanish and Chinese recently, and as a programmer, I’ve also been making a few tools to help me with it! Right now, the first works, and the second is…. well it kinda works, but it’s more in-progress

1. Emoji Flashcards - http://flashcards.bpev.me

Generates Emoji-Audio-Text flashcards with audio in a bunch of languages (meant to be used with Anki). The idea is that it’s better to avoid using your native tongue when learning a language, so use common visual images (Also, please help fix my translations 😂)! But my friend just vetted the Japanese deck, and I’ve been updating the Mexican Spanish deck as I go, so maybe those ones are pretty okay right now.

2. Multireader - https://github.com/bpevs/multireader

For reading e-books with select-to-translate, so I can read a book in another language, and highlight when I don’t know a word. I want to make it create flashcards from the words I highlight.
