Early in my career I had reverse engineered the DBF desktop database format (XBASE), and used that info to write programs in both Pascal and C (at different times) to read and print the metadata and data of DBF files. Later did the same in

Thanks for sharing. Sounds interesting. I had been reading about various kinds [1] of fermented milk products recently, and had seen kefir among them. [1] There seem to be many such kinds, across various countries. Quark, skyr, doogh, kumis

In India earlier, people in the South used to brew their own coffee at home, from coffee grounds / powder. There is a special steel utensil for it, with two vertical parts, one of which sits above the other. The top one has fine holes

Why not Kuala Lumpur? I've only been there once, on work, some years ago. Was there for a month or so. Didn't get to see a whole lot (except restaurants, malls and night markets), but liked what I saw back then. Food was varied an

Thanks, interesting stuff. I wouldn't have thought that a language could have so few symbols. Sanskrit and Hindi scripts have letters like the non-aspirated and aspirated ones in your list, but I don't think they have the stressed

I googled for images of aurora borealis and saw a good video, it was at a place in Scotland. But you're right that the real thing would be better.

Good question. Could it be fear of failure, I'm thinking. And made more so due to the media hyping up the overnight successes (a lot of it earlier, still happens now), but now with some failures publicly seen, wannabes starting to see
