Two word title, creator's contact info, content, end. The platonic ideal of a single-purpose website. It's beautiful.
The backend isn't quite so clean. It has a bunch of superfluous Wordpress template cruft, even some trackers my ad blocker had to catch. Still, I like it overall.
I agree. People always talk about technicalities, ingredients, structure, etc. in this argument.
For me, the main reason why a hotdog isn't a sandwich is that you can't use the two interchangeably. I would never go up to a hotdog stand and ask for a sandwich.
I'm not sure if this is going to forestall or foment heated discussion about what is or isn't a sandwich, but it's certainly an attempt to codify what constitutes sandwichness:
Humanity and its culture can't get stuck because of these outdated and despotic rules. It has been a while since I feel hot dogs started transitioning into quiche.
Yet even their "Anarchist" (lower right) square has a rectangular item of food, with a starchy, finger-friendly exterior around a less starchy & finger-friendly interior.
Vs. a chart with chocolate-covered cherries, ceiling tiles, and such...
Agreed. One point of contention I've seen before is the question of whether a piece of fried chicken with breading is a sandwich. Personally I argue that it is not, because the batter is cooked for the first time on the chicken itself. The starchy finger-friendly exterior should be fully edible before the construction of a sandwich.
You could argue, however, that a piece of fried chicken with breading is technically a meat bun.
I will proclaim that the finger-friendly exterior is important, but the order in which the outside vs. contents are added/cooked/finished/whatever is not.
So well-breaded chicken is. Likewise a two-crusted pie. But a ravioli is not a sandwich.
Sure there is, you just need to look at the evolution of language, not DNA. The common ancestor is a meal eaten by the Earl of Sandwich in the 1760s, “salt beef between two slices of toasted bread”.
I’m a big fan of the cube rule except for its salad category. The idea that a frittata and a bowl of tomato soup are equivalent is hard to swallow (pun intended).
That's a company blog I would actually follow. I want to read a 4 page post about series-c funding to capture even more rotating sandwiches. I want to read about their hiring practices and how they use scrum to organize their sandwich projects.
Lauren, as a long-time follower I was excited to see this hit the front page of Hacker News. Since you’re here could you share some technical details about how this works? What kind of hardware/software stack are you using? Are you using NeRFs(?)?
Thanks for asking! I record everything on my iPhone in a lightbox on a rotating jewelry display, then pass the video through Premiere Pro for grading and framing, AfterEffects to rotoscope out the background, and then Photoshop to legacy export as a GIF.
Fun fact: Some of the sandwiches seem to be rotating in the opposite direction. This is due to an optical illusion called the "Silhouette Illusion" [0], first discovered in 2003. If you focus hard on a sandwich and blur your eyes slightly, you can make it change which direction it rotates.
It also works on translucent objects and in a different form on the mask illusion, where a rotation depends on whether you believe the mask is bent away from or toward you.
Basically anytime that depth information is obscured.
The dancer illusion is as though you are observing the dancer from a long distance away through a telescope of some sort where things like her hands do not appear to vary in relative size as she turns and they become nearer/farther from us.

Hot dogs are categorically tacos.
Burritos typically begin life as a "calzone", but experience most of their brief lives through the lens of a "soup/salad in a bread bowl".
Sometimes people prefer to fold a burrito into the "sushi" pattern. Depends on your mental image of a burrito.

So, I guess a flour breaded fried chicken could be a ravioli whereas a panko breaded fried chicken could be a sandwich.

(disclaimer, I wrote this spec)
1) Substance - Indivisible, elemental food. Example: Vanilla ice cream, no toppings
2) Pizza - Monobreadular, arranged. Example: Nigiri sushi
3) Sandwich - Multibreadular, arranged. Example: Big Mac
4) Salad - Separable, not arranged. Example: Salad with croutons
I just don't understand why it would be on the front page without AI??
I hope this issue will be fixed soon.

Thanks to everyone who said nice things about my sandwiches!

Very "clearly" spinning in opposite directions.
This isn't true as the spinning dancer illusion only works on silhouettes and not full color images.
