Habeneros aren't common there, but in general for cheap chilis, try the Turkish grocery stores (EuroGida or similar). Basically for any Mexican / Latin-American stuff, they're great for sourcing ingredients: chilis, dry beans, corn meal, flour tortillas (durum) and will be a lot cheaper than specialty shops. Chilis are also easy to grow (I'm growing 4 kinds on my balcony in Berlin), and one habanero plant goes a long way.
Not in DE myself but scotch bonnet chillies are more easily found in the UK due to the Carribbean/West African connection. You may have a better chance of finding them instead and I'm told they are quite similar.
Usually you can find them at super markets (Rewe, Edeka) sometimes Discounter have it as promotional item (Aldi).
I recommend growing yourself just use seeds from the bought fruits. They are rather easy to grow.
I can also send you seeds, if you like.
It came very close to me. The society of the book was very similar to the society in which I grew up, Soviet Union in 90s.
Some of the lines from the book:
".. the social consience completely dominates the individual conscience, instead of striking a balance with it. We don't cooperate - we obey. We fear being outcast, being called lazy, dysfunctional, egoizing. We fear our neighbor's opinion more than we respect our own freedom of choice."
"No matter what their society's like, some of them must be decent. People vary here, don't they? Are we all perfect Odonians?
But in a sick organism, even a healthy cell is doomed."
I took a class with Luis Rodrigues (one of the authors), the book introduces the fundamentals of distributed systems. For example, you would build leader election from first principles.
Somewhere I have a copy of a BASIC program I typed into my TRS-80 Color Computer as a kid, from an issue of K-Power magazine.
I don't recall if it was one of the full issues, or one of the "insert issues" found within Family Computing of the era.
It was a special kind of "snow fall" generator; IIRC, there were only a couple of versions, one for the Apple IIe and the other for the PCjr - I likely used the PCjr version for the conversion since the BASIC language was nearly identical between the PCjr and my CoCo 2.
What was special was that it managed to seemingly move hundreds of pixels relatively rapidly on the screen; now, this might not seem like such a feat, but it really was considering we're talking about a computer system running an interpreted BASIC program, with a max speed below 1 MHz in standard mode (0.89 MHz - there was a so-called "speedup poke" that "doubled" the speed - POKE 65495,0 if anyone cares).
I don't recall what trick it used - or if it really used anything special at all - but I do remember being impressed by that bit of code.
I follow several public and private projects that I do not contribute at all. Any time there is a review comment on a pull request from senior devs, I try to check if it is new to me. If so, I note down the problem and suggestions.
Here are some examples:
- Aleks suggested to limit the try to the places where exceptions can be thrown and move everything else out of the try.
- Thomas suggested to use =StringBuilder= instead of =String.format=. The former is faster and more robust.
- Oscar suggested to use a =parameter object= or a =builder= when there are many (more than 3-4) parameters.
Thanks for the recipe! I am also into fermented recipes.
Quick question, where do you buy Habanero Chilis in Germany? I somehow never saw them in supermarkets or "wochenmarkt"s.
