"In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people angry and has widely been considered as a bad move."


https://whatsyum.com Ratings per-dish instead of just the whole restaurant


Answering questions like "OK this place is a 4.7 but what's actually good here?" "Where's the best burger in Bali?"

Got rejected by YC '24 but wanted to build it anyway

Just started fundraising for seed round


2 hours everyday trying to find a wife! What does that entail? Do you have some very specific requirements/high standards?


2 hours of daygame. Yes, high standards. I had the perfect gf 10 yrs ago, anything less will keep me regretful. 80% of the population is obese, just for a start. I estimate I like 0.1%.


A word of caution: sometimes the best wife is not the perfect girlfriend.. Hope you find yours..


Lame clickbait title. TLDR; shuffling algorithm's have improved since the 90s...


Really?

  The original Fisher–Yates shuffle was published in 1938 by Ronald Fisher and Frank Yates in their book Statistical tables for biological, agricultural and medical research.

   The modern version of the Fisher–Yates shuffle, designed for computer use, was introduced by Richard Durstenfeld in 1964. It is also known as the Knuth shuffle after Donald Knuth who popularized it in Volume Two of The Art of Computer Programming (1969)

Picking a bad algorithm, as they did here in this example from the 1990's is timeless.

Good shuffle algorithms existed then, and had existed since the 1930s.


https://whatsyum.com - app/website for dish-specific ratings, as opposed to just the whole restaurant. Bali focused for now.


Wonder if there will ever be a .net maui one


Highly recommend his meditation app 'Waking Up' in which he explains and teaches these concepts better than any source I've yet found


I've had similar symptoms for 7+ years now so it's most likely for life. Have seen many infectious disease specialists and CFS/ME is the diagnosis (same as long-covid). Mine seems to have been triggered by Glandular Fever (Epstein Barr Virus).

Exertion is the biggest trigger for me, but also the prescribed cure (Gradual Exercise Therapy). Alcohol is a weird one, I often feel better with a hangover than I do on a bad fatigue day (immuno-suppressant?) but then way worse the days after. I also have recurring Mononucleosis symptoms and have tried anti-virals to no avail...

It's so obviously immuno-related, really hope the science progresses soon.

for those reading, GET is not a/the prescribed cure for mecfs, its contraindicated and is no longer broadly recommended (after a lot of controversy). It was once adopted as a recommendation but its the product of faulty science and a medical system that found the disease inconvenient and largely didn't want to treat/believe it

really sorry you're dealing w mecfs insaider, i feel your pain


I thought it was Australian, like how Chicken Tikka Masala is British


If it is a meat dish, from India, it is far more likely to have been invented by Indians for the Brits living in India. Whether that makes it Indian or British I leave to others.


That's not true. Huge numbers of Indians aren't Hindu and do eat meat. Less than 40% of the country is vegetarian. There are meat dishes that pre-date the arrival of the British, although it's true that almost all Indian food has been altered by British colonialism.


>Huge numbers of Indians aren't Hindu and do eat meat.

Just in case anyone has the wrong idea (and I guess some people do), being Hindu does not equate to not eating meat.

Many Hindus eat meat (and many don't (though even that has nuances)), and have done so from ancient times, not just nowadays because of modernisation or westernization, although that has increased the percentage too, IMO.


And Portuguese colonialism. Practically all modern Punjabi food from makki to rajma is from South America.


Don't forget the Pav Bhaji. The "Pav" in the name of the dish derives from Portuguese "Pāo".

I'll stop with this and refrain from mentioning how South Indian cuisine has been corrupted by Northern Indian cultural imperialism :)


>Don't forget the Pav Bhaji.

Dont forget the vada pav either.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vada_pav

Not a bad dish, though carb-heavy, like pav bhaji.

I've had it many times when I lived in Maharashtra.

For me, it's incomplete without the fried and salted green chillies as an accompaniment. Yum. :)


Yum indeed! I also make sure to ask for an extra helping of the (dry) peanut chutney. That and the green chillies are must-haves with a vada pav for me :)


I don't remember that dry peanut chutney.

Do you mean thecha?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thecha

I have read about it, but unfortunately I did not come across it, despite living in Maharashtra for some years.

Got to say, from the description, it sounds like it would taste quite good.

And could be a good accompaniment to many dishes.


I've always heard it referred to as "Dana Chutney", Dana being a contraction of Shengdana.

I don't know if it's the same thing as Thecha, though -- but it does fit the description. I'm wondering if this is a geographical difference in culinary terminology :)


Yes, I think it must be the same.

Dana (as a short form) and shengdana both mean peanuts, in Marathi, the main language of Maharashtra.

Actually dana means seed in both Marathi and Hindi, as in anardana, which means pomegranate (seed), meaning the part of the pomegranate that you eat.

As you said, words can vary a lot between regions - and not just for culinary terms.


Indeed :) My fondness for Vada Pav and Dana Chutney came to be because I spent a few years in Pune.


Too late to edit, didn't see the typo earlier. s/pāo/pão/ .


The pav is actually pronounced as pao sometimes.


The Portuguese "Pão" sounds more like the French "Pan". "Pav" or "Pao" is the Indianization.


> And Portuguese colonialism. Practically all modern Punjabi food from makki to rajma is from South America.

Vindeloo is derived from Portuguese cuisine as well. In fact, the Portuguese are widely accredited with introducing spicy chili peppers into Indian cuisine.


Vindaloo has been corrupted from the original.

I've had both kinds, both in Goa.

See:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindaloo

The original did not have potatoes. but because aloo means potato in Hindi, others have changed the dish by including potatoes.
