  • Seconded. I would have issues that kept getting worse as I got older. I noticed that whenever I did keto, I felt much better. When I combined it with going gluten free, I felt amazing. Well, dad gets diagnosed with Celiac and my old DNA test results mentioned I was a carrier and more likely to develop it. I haven’t had the endoscopy yet, but it’s pretty likely. This sucks as I love bread and baking it.

    Anyway, if gluten is an issue, rice flour can be used for a lot of things and corn/potato starch is a good thickener (whichever is cheaper where you are).




  • As I understand it, it was created by a hotel chef trying to find something to feed foreigners (mostly soldiers) very soon after the war, so it’s kinda different.

    Tempura and Pan (bread) come from the Portuguese. They did start growing hot peppers like many after they got here via either the Portuguese and/or Dutch following the Columbian Exchange.

    Much like there’s American Chinese food, there’s also Japanese Chinese suited to their tastes. Pizza is probably the most prominent examples: mayo, corn, etc. pizza is common here.



  • I never saw this until moving to Japan. Everywhere I’ve dined in with pizza gives tabasco. I tried it and I like it. Especially for vinegar-based or otherwise more acidic sauces, it cuts through the fattiness from the meats and cheese and brightens things up. I also like spicy things (we frequently do habanero hot sauce these days). I think maybe a splash of something like white wine vinegar might be nice if someone isn’t into the heat.










  • I learned c from a book from the 80s and then skipped to rust.

    The only time I touched c++ was modding games in the early aughts and to try it for a couple coding challenges. I’ve heard templates are a thing of note when it comes to complications but not sure.

    As for c# … We don’t talk about that (jk. I had to do it for one or two projects and played with unity a bit ages ago)



  • I can’t address the first part, but for your last paragraph, if you’re sharing with humans, csv is fine. If you’re sharing with humans and machines, JSON or yaml or something similar is probably fine. If you’re only moving things around to give to machines, what to use depends on constraints you might have and use cases
