☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I often typed “hipster coffee shop” into the search bar as a shorthand because Yelp’s search algorithm always knew exactly what I meant by the phrase. It was the kind of cafe that someone like me – a western, twentysomething (at the time), internet-brained millennial acutely conscious of their own taste – would want to go to.

Yeah. The "algorithm" is to blame.

Why Every Article is the Same

Dang, I was interested in the interface article but it reads like a high school essay.

The best reason, personally is because we collectively evolved our perception of good design as being informative, friendly and hospitable.

Sorry, I just knew I'd seen this pattern a lot, so I searched and dropped in the first examples I found

It's just trends/fashion, I don't get why algorithms are to blame? I read the whole long ass article but I don't really find a compelling argument. It's just how trends work. The algorithms of now speed it up, but it's no different from anything in this connected day and age; I used to only hear of new PC announcements in a month (when the next issue of PC Magazine hit my mail box), now I can get it within the minute of announcement.
