Over the years there already was almost the identical articles about making in language X program as fast as C or C++... And results was exactly the same: write C/C++ style programs!
Why ?
Because of CPU's architecture - given CPU one just need to structure code in a way CPU can perform efficiently! Is it such surprising that all sugar and multi-functional smartness have cost of all that if's and loops like maps? CPU is just rock stupid and can't do anything else!
That's from where all that specialized instructions are coming and programs just need to be structured or compiled to CPU arch way to perform as fast as CPU and rest of hardware allows...
And there are some "Java machines" and that is exaclty the same story: use CPU native lang :) As much as posible.
> Before you spend many thousands of dollars on a machine better suited to a coffee shop, consider getting a minimalist lever machine.
Nope. I agree about enjoyment factor but still: no. Unless you are single and don't like cappu's.
With lever machines it's going like this: you turn it on, wait few minutes, pull espresso... and it is too cold. You pull second and third and those can be good but by 4th espressos are too hot so they are bitter. So it is time to turn off your lever mini-espresso machine... And milk frothing ? n/c
Oh, and boiler size in "lever" machines :) La Pavoni Stradivari is 16... But what you do when boiler is empty ? You have solid piece of metal with temp 90-100 C, how you like to unscrewing and refiling it ? :) And then 5 minutes of warming it to 90's again...
Now cost... 1k up to 2k dollars for lever. So when "many starts" ? For 2k-3k you have more available machines then you want to choose from :>
And belive me: you _want_ a plumbed one. So we are almost in "commercial" territory, there is no way around it.
There are now new generations of "lab" espresso machines but usually they are not cheaper then plain e61. And still some Rancilio made tank is preferable - Epocas are dirt cheap, almost :)
But if someone want cheap coffee gear then Chemex or Hario v60 is perfect option. Perfect! We use it almost daily at home. Or few times a day. :) Almost same amount of ritual like with Robot :)
Full agree on grinders - better one makes difference.
So, 20 years of coffee forums reading in one sentence: espresso machines need to be heavy and they costs.
In secret I can tell: Stradi is still on my wish list :)
And then there is one thing even or maybe especially commercial shops avoid: actual good coffee. You need to pay 2x or 3x or more for 1kg of coffee beans or you just serving black slops. Some chemistry you dilute with milk. Look it is easy to one-time pay 5k for some chrome machine but every day paying for good coffee beans is beyond most coffee shops on the globe...
Excuse me but why there are no parents in the loop ? They are first line of kids defence and best suited for that: truly biological need. Not to mention such secondary thing like law obligations. No technical system can bit that. Only make things half baked and stupid or abusive on privacy, logic and actual reality.
Kids are parents kids not some context-less socialist/bureaucracy/german invasive ideology creatures.
If you want to do inventory checking for all that future migrants generations do it like you do with actual humans and not via some outdated and hackable inferior piece of hardware.
Because this is the control / surveillance grab, not the genuine child protection.
Notice how the latest mandatory age verification in iPhones in the UK has been introduced: not as a possible, easy switch one, but the default on, requiring adults to potentially deanonymise themselves. I repear: it's not something the parent could enable/lock in within a 10 seconds, it's something enabled with every adult's phone, something the kid will evade in the same way they buy tobacco or alcohol right now.
That was never about the kids. Otherwise the governments wouldn't tolerate Meta openly admitting they've been knowingly hooking up kids, knowingly worsening their mental health, or Musk's X keeping CSAM generator open while all the world's governments just grimaced and kept legitimizing it.
Two performance cores and 4 eco looks like phone cpu performance. And after A Neo it looks like low cost laptops or business boxes. Finally thin clients arrive ? Or maybe that is that "ai pc" - pc that use remote ai for reading your mails :>> And storing them and more training ofc...
