LOC? Line of Code? Surely 1-2 LOCs is significantly less than any recipe.



I meant Library of Congress, an anachronistic visual metaphor related to data storage from the 1990s, perhaps earlier? In 2012, 1 LoC was roughly equivalent to ~3 PB (petabytes).

I remember first seeing it on Slashdot way back in the day, before they had user moderation or user meta-moderation.

If you save the source document, the code needed to parse your recipe archive is likely to be pretty short. Then you have a corpus to do A/B testing of your recipe parsing code against.

Side note: I feel that moderation and later meta-moderation system on Slashdot was the most transparent, fun, positive moderation system I’ve ever been part of. I wish HN had more than just up and downvotes, for instance. User meta-moderation would help reduce flamewars immensely IMO.

I'm guess it's "Library of Congress"


Yeah, that’s what I meant. I was going for a visual metaphor that might be lost if I just said some number of bytes.
