You have to make each round using yogurt from the previous round, not the preceding ones (1), else the bacteria in the culture probably get too few / weaker due to less than optimal conditions, like temp., hours out, etc. (1) That is

That's interesting about the cheese-like product. Just recently I left some paneer in the fridge for a few days too many. When I took it out to use it in a dish, I saw it had a cheese-like consistency (harder than the original paneer)

Right, many recipes in this thread are fancy. No need to get in such a ferment about it (pun intended). May be needed for colder northern climes, but I have my doubts. (E.g. people were making yogurt in similarly cold Central Asia for cent

Clothes' colors look quite different from the original under (what I think is) an LED light at night. That's clothes on a clothesline in a corridor outside my house.

The wxPython demo (which spawns many apps that show use of many widgets, including complex ones), is very good too. And is a non-trivial wxPython app itself. Separately downloadable from wxPython itself, last I used it. All apps come with

Nitpick, but wxWidgets is for C++. wxPython is the wrapper for Python.

Thanks. I did come across the term "food forest" a few years ago, had read some articles and saw some pictures of them. Very interesting. It definitely works. Also there is precedent for it. In some articles, Wikipedia or other, a

Good work, keep it up. I'm just getting interested in permaculture myself. Had done some organic gardening in the past.

Saw an article about edible weeds on HN some time back, and got to know of a book on the same subject for a part of India, recently. Interesting topic. Work with nature instead of against it.

Plus, in some future implementation, it could happen that the current faster way becomes slower, due to changes in the JS interpreter / JITter etc. At least, think it could. Not a language lawyer or implementer.

This point comes up somewhat periodically on HN - the point you made. And yes, it is "dope" :) More people should check prior art before making new stuff. Reuse / stand on the shoulders of giants / don't reinvent th

I personally think articles can be useful, but I am not an expert on grammar or linguistics.

Cool. Interesting. Then it must have diverged somewhat in that respect from Sanskrit, because both are descended from Proto-Indo-European languages, I've read. Sanskrit does have genders, IIRC - masculine, feminine and neuter. Sanskrit

Another interesting thing about language differences, is that some languages don't have articles (like "the" in English - if I remember my English grammar [1] and my Hindi and Sanskrit [2] correctly, heh). [1] Slightly funny
