How to Make Coffee in the Bialetti Moka Pot: The "Ultimate Techique" | Open Culture
In Italy, roughly 70% of households have a Bialetti Moka Pot. And chances are you have one too. But are you using it the right way?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfDLoIvb0w4
Here it is in text, if someone wants to save it :)
Constants:
- Boiling water in the boiler
- Full basket of coffee
- Avoid sputtering phase by cooling down the chamber under cold water
Variables:
- The lighter the roast, the finer the ground.
- Less filled boiler will brew a bit earlier. Usually, dark roasts -> a bit less water, light roasts -> full boiler
- Preheat the hob/relatively low heat on the gas hob
- As soon as the liquid starts to flow, turn off the heat. For electric hobs, move it to the edge of the hob.
Troubleshooting:
If the sputtering phase starts before you think it's time (not enough coffee out etc):
- Too fine of a grind
- Too much heat

Beautiful Perl feature: "heredocs", multi-line strings embedded in source code
A piece of "heredoc" data can appear anywhere in a Perl expression. It starts with an initial operator written either << or <<~. The second variant with an added tilde ~, available since Perl v5.26, introduces an indented heredoc, where initial spaces on the left of each line are automatically removed by the interpreter.
Empty string as delimiter
The delimiter string can also be .. an empty string! In that case the heredoc content ends at the next empty line; this is an elegant way to minimize noise around the data.
Several heredocs can start on the same line, as in this example:
my @blogs = $dbh->selectall_array(<<~END_OF_SQL, {}, split(/\n/, <<~END_OF_BIND_VALUES));

Un-Sass'ing My CSS: Native CSS Nesting | Always Twisted
Learn how to use native CSS nesting in modern browsers. Understand the & selector, specificity rules, differences from Sass, and when to use nesting with practical examples for components, themes, and accessibility.
Here's where things get a little interesting.
