Amalaki (Sanskrit) / amla (Hindi) / nellikai (Tamil) / Indian gooseberry is said to be good for acidity in Ayurveda. The fruit part of the plant, phyllanthus emblica, IIRC. Very widely used in India in different forms for many ailments. There is amla eaten raw, amla juice, amla murabba (a sort of sweet dried or wet candy), amla in honey (just had it today), in triphala, etc. Rich in Vitamin C and has many benefits.

I use it.

Triphala, another Ayurvedic remedy, is said to be a general-purpose cleanser / gut detoxifier/ digestive tonic. Very commonly prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors.

Sounds partly like marjari asana of hatha yoga.

I think it's more likely that you feel bad you didn't invent it yourself, so sour grapes.

Yes. For a simple example, guava with pink flesh inside is very different in taste from the white flesh ones.

For a different take on mangoes:

Check out the Totapuri and Rajapuri varieties. Can be eaten ripe too, and are middling good that way. But what I came here to say is, we as kids used to eat them raw to semi-ripe, sliced into just a few large pieces, and with salt to taste, on lazy summer afternoons, while reading a book or comic. And for some reason you could eat a lot without getting a stomach upset. They had a tangy mildly sour and mildly sweet taste, that did not pall, even on eating large amounts. :)

>I never see it ever spoken about from this perspective but its sort of like learning how to drive stick, where you're able to drive anything: if you learn vim, you can code on any computer made in the last 15-20 years

True. That's roughly what it says (in other words) in the blurb for this vi quickstart tutorial, and why it is quite applicable for the purposes you said:

Yes. munchler, see:

Good to know.

>Sure. They're called 'partials' sometimes.

Same as partials in Rails, maybe. A while since I used it.

I heard GAMBAS is one. Not tried it. Was mentioned on HN recently and in the past too.

Or even through SQL views, if applicable.

Thanks to all who replied.

Why is it interesting?

And low contrast text, although that is not restricted to employer sites. Grrr!

Check out Indian and Iranian styles of making tea.

First, the traditional method doesn't use tea bags. You boil the water, add the tea leaves or tea dust, at start or end, as you prefer. Then strain, and add milk and sugar.

Iranian style tea (at least in India, as found in the few remaining Irani restaurants) is boiled for longer, and has a stronger and very distinctive taste.

In the Indian style, powdered spices like cardamom and cloves are often added. So is ginger.

This is usually called masala chai, and, for foreigners, it is not called chai tea. That would be like saying tea tea, because chai mean tea in Hindi. It is pronounced like hai.

Right.

De gustibus ...

I'm sure at least their "parents" did.

>Held via mail-in ballot, the election creates a bargaining unit with the Alphabet Workers Union — an organization affiliated with the Communications Workers of America that, until now, has represented only one office of unionized Google workers, a contracted Fiber retail shop in Missouri. Those workers opted to drop Google from their petition.

>A spokesperson for Google said the company has no objection to Wednesday’s union vote but reiterated its stance that Cognizant is the sole employer. A Cognizant spokesperson said the company is “committed to continuing our mission as a team and delivering for our client” in the wake of the election.

>“My coworkers and I have spoken, time and time again — we want, and have won, a protected voice on the job to bring both Alphabet and Cognizant to the negotiating table so that we can win the fair working conditions we deserve,” Maxwell Longfield, a YouTube Music contractor through Cognizant, said in an AWU statement.

>Google and Cognizant have until May 3 to file an objection to the election.

>As the unionization process moves forward in Texas, the NLRB is investigating an unfair labor practice complaint by AWU, which contends that Cognizant and Google illegally interfered with the union’s formation — a practice known as union busting. After workers filed a petition for unionization, Cognizant changed its return-to-office policy and moved work to other offices, the complaint says.

>Cognizant allegedly told workers that failure to move to and work from the Austin office would be treated as “job abandonment” and a “voluntary termination.” The return-to-office change prompted 40 workers to protest with an “unfair labor practice strike” — such strikes prevent employers from laying off workers. AWU said in a statement that the costs of in-person work, from sudden relocation to child care, aren’t affordable for YouTube Music workers, who make as little as $19 an hour.

Oh no, it didn't feel that way to me :)

Anyway, glad you liked it, and thank you too, for clarifying your intent.

Wow. Good analogies.

"Google just grep"

That's a keeper.

Larry's dad to Larry (pretending that dad was not computer literate, but somehow knew just grep and the web):

Son, now that you're outta school, whaddya do to make rent?

Larry: Oh dad, Sergey and me, we just grep the web for folks. Makes us rent, and a tad more.

No, unfortunately :) [1]

Just an actual anecdote.

I once emailed Steve with some questions about software technology choices and architecture for a new project I was on, in the early days of Reddit, and he replied with some advice.
