Nah. I just have a tiny capacity and a very variable order book. If I baked the same thing every day, the wastage would kill me.
You have a point. If I were doing higher volumes at retail, the thought process would be much simpler. Make up a 60% starter on 8kg of flour in the evening. In the morning, empty a 16kg sack of flour into the mixer,…
It. Doesn’t. Matter. Use the too, you’re comfortable in and you’ll be way more productive than dropping everything to learn something new. Do that when the limitations of your current tool start to grate on you.
Yeah, the calculation stuff is so handy.
Yeah. Lots of hand waving in the piece because it was a choice between something I could write in a morning for a general audience or, frankly, not bothering to write anything at all. A bakery formula is an acyclic…
For the actual business of making the bread it’s a matter of printing off a single production schedule for the day and taking that into the bakehouse. Touchscreens are a hygiene nightmare in food prep areas.
The echo dot is an essential part of the bakery. Multiple overlapping named timers, fired off without having to touch anything? Get in! Once I start the mixes, everything runs from paper though. Maybe somewhere a long…
Yup. The spreadsheet is an amazing innovation, I just find all the repetition when adding something that should just be data to be monumentally frustrating. And I have no idea how to make a sheet that copes with orders…
Yup. Bakeries have been run using a pen and paper daybook and the master baker’s skill for centuries. But the calculations are still a pain in the arse, so automating that is a big win. The Bread Matters spreadsheet I…
Yup. My bad. Hashing collision in my brain.
Where's the fun in that? The first bug is pretty blatant and will leap out at you if you're reading the paper closely (it's of the order of a syntax error). Describing the second would have taken too much space,…
I read it in Copeland's "The Essential Turing", which I recommend highly.
A very useful comment, that. I've added an update to the bottom of the post. I'd always found the assembler story surprising give Turing's history of mechanising drudge work (the bombes, for instance) and now I know why.
Which is why, if you're starting a Perl project today, you turn on warnings and strict, you choose between TryCatch and Try::Tiny and you seriously consider adding autodie to the mix.
Well... there's CTAN. Oh, hang on, that came first didn't it? Forget I said anything.
And a host of Perl makes it possible for the BBC to serve up its iPlayer content. Some of it is even modern MooseX::Declare based Perl.
