    4.3 ??? Hell, I haven’t updated my peeler since 2.1 - no wonder my stove won’t even boot.

    The code for the peeler is stale, it stopped working three carrot seasons ago, but no one wants to rewrite the PeelerBladeRdge class.

    So funny story. My stove is currently inoperable because the door lock on the oven is fucked up somehow. Why an oven needs a door lock and why the door lock being fucked should prevent the whole thing from working I cannot tell you. I’ve literally never used it. Thanks whoever programmed that…

      Every stove I’ve had with a self cleaning option also has an automatic door lock. The oven gets extra hot during self cleaning mode.

      The door lock I can understand for safety reasons. Bricking the whole thing because one part broke is lazy programming.

    I’m a sysadmin by trade. My hobbies are:

    • cooking with nothing but a cast iron pan and a knife I forged after a medieval design
    • tinkering on bicycles ('90s MTBs, the golden age of compatibility)
    • sewing clothes by hand
    • smashing printers with baseball bats

      smashing printers with baseball bats

      I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

      They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

      Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

      What the fuck is wrong with printers

        Fun fact: the entire Free Software movement exists because Richard Stallman got pissed off at Xerox one day, for not giving him the source code so he could fix his printer.

    only hobbyists and artisans still use the standalone carrot.py that depends on peeler.

    in enterprise environments everyone uses the pymixedveggies package (created using pip freeze of course) which helpfully vendors the latest peeled carrot along with many other things. just unpack it into a clean container and go on your way.

      I know you’re joking but you basically just suggested buying a pack of frozen mixed veggies so you can pick out and use only the carrots for your stew, and the idea of someone actually doing that sends my brain into a tailspin

    I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

    My experience with cooking has been that because I don’t do it enough, I’m constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

    In comparison, I’ve got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don’t have customers other than myself)

    I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

    Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards

      To cast them, it uses libvegs however. It is not available in any standard package libraries, so just quickly build it from source

        Yeah but the current build of libvegs has some conflicts with libfruit, so if you need to use both you have to build libvegs in a different directory and then simlink it in /lib.

      Unfortunately, casting from potato to carrot is a narrowing conversion so your new carrot will lose some properties

    Just fork peeler from 4.2, rename it to “Skininator 4000” and set up a BuyMeACoffee button.

    No no it’s the pot that’s behind . After you already peeled and chopped .

    Unless this is an agile thing

      I tend not to when cooking for myself )unless it’s been in the fridge for a while and the skin is a bit unappealing, no pun intended), but some people prefer carrots peeled for aesthetic reasons.

      Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.

      YMMV

    Yeah, I can totally sign that. But it is struggle to have so many peelers in drawer. Last addition was new potatoe peeler
