Indeed, I would appreciate if the title were updated to reflect that the subjects were mice, not humans. It’s a bit misleading.


Caramelizing—truly caramelizing[0]—onions is a slow process that takes close to an hour. For this kind of task, I think it’s helpful to be able to set timers and be in and out of the kitchen, rather than be stationed at the stovetop continuously.

Kenji came up with a method[0] which actually only takes ~15 minutes -- but it does produce very mushy onions, so it won't work for all applications.

This is great; thanks!


Did you mean `typedef int bool`?


No, _Bool is a distinct type, introduced by the 1999 edition of the standard.


No, marcosdumay wrote 'typedef bool int', by which he/she probably meant 'typedef int bool', which was not so uncommon when there was no native bool type in C, since the former would be illegal since the standard forbids typedefing already existent types such as int. strkitten informed about the probable typo.


Sorry, I managed to miss the context.


I like the term “making biscuits” better than “kneading” or “kneading biscuits”. Butter biscuits (and scones) usually require handwork to integrate the butter into the dry ingredients. In my experience, this handwork pretty closely resembles what the cats are doing. There’s a lot of squeezing going on to break up the cold butter and mix it in.


I think of it more as a pinching motion to divide the big clumps of fat into smaller ones while coating them in flour. I'm still not convinced that cats know how to make biscuits :-)



Nothing wrong with your third line. Did you mean something else?


I forgot the &; comment updated now, and I added another example.


Got it, thanks!
