   I'm down for anything onion- or garlic-tasting. Not tried onion leaves. Will now. Shallots are great. In Tamil Nadu, called sambar vengayam (sambar onions).

   Some are more edible than others. This includes taste, texture, fibrosity (if that's a word, else make it one), cookability (ditto :), digestibility, being non-poisonous, etc.

   Cauliflower even in older Indian cooking; see my sibling comment to yours. Broccoli is newer in India, AFAIK.

   Cabbage is a brassica, right? Indians eat lots of cabbage, north to south. And a lot of cauliflower, also a brassica. Alu gobhi (a dry veg dish of potato and cauliflower) is a dish famous even in the West. I read somewhere that Bryan Adams

   Why was J2EE removed? Not been following Java developments for some time, though I did a good amount of real life work on it earlier, and liked it at least some, back then. Also, I thought it was renamed to JEE. Or is that also outdated?

   This was only the second joke I liked in this thread, reading sequentially. First one was about the balloon.

   Then it could also almost be a joke about parsing and context-free grammars or such.

    I haven't had it in those ways, only raw (ripe) and steamed. Good to know!

    No thread about banana varieties can be considered complete without mentioning the Nendran or Nendrapazham variety. It is a bit different in appearance and more so in taste, than common consumer bananas. A bit larger. Found mostly in Keral

    Good one. Another on the same lines, and also related to your parent comment's point about politics, is: Getting the users in the org to, you know, actually use that well-specced, well-built project, which was delivered within time a

    Why does the first part of your (first) sentence imply the second part? The two parts are separated by the word "makes".

    Yes, seen tangentially earlier, when I consulted to a startup using Android as one of the stacks. Happy I did not have to work on it, going by what I have read about its too frequent changes. Like the JavaScript framework du jour :) https:

    I used it lightly. It was nice. Remember it being fast at least for my light usage, compiling simple UNIX-style commmand-line utilities (to achieve small tasks) that I used to love to write on Windows - and still do :)

    Code Complete is a similar very good one, with a deeper focus at somewhat a lower level of abstraction, maybe, but still covering other levels, including human aspects. I prefer the first edition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/

    What do you or the author mean by "implement things orthogonally? I (somewhat) know what the word "orthogonally" means, but not sure what the phrase means in this context.

    Very good point. I've thought that about Google, starting years ago. Look at the Wave fiasco / failure. That would not have happened (at least due to reasons of unusable slowness) if your suggestion had been implemented there. And
