@Abraxas3d While that is pretty darn cool, I'll admit I'm having a hard time getting past the fact I utterly loathe MATLAB.

I had to use it in some of my engineering classes, and I think I'd rather piss broken glass than have to use it again. It's just got so many weird little quirks, and that's on top of the fact it's dynamically typed (I do *not* like working in dynamically typed languages *at all*, even at the best of times - just makes things that much more confusing).

Reminds me of Kahlil Gibran's poem about parenting. It also used the imagery of an arrow being shot out into the future.

First of a series of videos about the project has been released. This series shows how Coder is used to create designs.

Emulate what you want to replace. This removes the "hidden" objections against electric stoves.

If just one article would honor the fact that there's tons and tons of people that know how to competently and quickly cook on a gas stove, and just don't want to burn a bunch of food and risk getting humiliated when they have to use a new tool, then I think conversion would be a lot easier of a sell.

*Please* manufacturers, just write some code for an electric stove that mimics gas stove response. Make it a big selling point.

The cooking preference is strong. I know lots of home cooks that get frustrated with electric. Most common reason is that it's way too "notchy" in response, and there are no easy visual cue that the "flame" is "down". Electric can blast your food I pretty darn fast if you ramp it up to max. Maximum gas flame doesn't do this.

This is an story. As in, the is social before it is technical.

I was raised in an all-electric house. I didn't use gas stoves until I was an adult buying my own house, well past college graduation.

I was diagnosed with asthma at 12, so it's unlikely that was the cause.
