    I absolutely adore habaneros, and use them liberally for the same purpose. I was addressing your specific lack of experience with the "super-chillies"... As in, this was something that I tried using reapers, which genuinely worked as a dish. Yes, habaneros work well in this. But the dried Reaper just transmogrifies it into something really special. I have also tried blending habaneroes for sweetness, and balancing that with the terrifying strength and flavour of the Reaper. It takes a few goes to get that right, but it's worth it. Plus, if you're serving it to people, you get to call it "Reaper Soup" which sounds elephanting bad-ass. Or "Reaper Stew", if you're doing a sauce. I find that stewing rough cuts of meat in a Reaper and tomato sauce, the kind of not-too-fussy butchering job with some fatty bits, bones and even some tendons still in, makes for a fantastic taste and fun to eat. It also adds to the dramatic effect for your guests, particularly if they're not used to a rustic style of cooking where you get bone-in stews all the time. Good for Hallowe'en parties and the like, served in a giant bowl and accompanied by crusty bread and full-bodied red wine. You get the idea.

    I haven't figured out exactly what I'd do with them

    I highly recommend dried California Reaper in tomato soup, if treated with respect. All you need is a strip off the main fruit that is about 1cm long, chop it carefully and throw it into a big pot, lightly saute with some ginger, garlic, onions, toss in a few tins of tomatoes and let all that bubble away for about an hour before blending it all. It's an angry, smokey flavour, that's just delicious and really livens up anything tomato-based. Just be careful with it or it really will burn your mouth off.

  • I Disagree With Shutting Down the Soapbox
    M Mel Padden

    I dunno. To be honest, Codeproject started out for me as an invaluable tool and repository of information as I learned my craft. It still is that, but I would rather see it return to its roots, and base itself on the provision of interesting and good quality articles. StackOverflow takes care of the Q&A style stuff, and any number of other forum sites can take care of the Trump-bashing, the Libtard-bashing, ranting about the Daily Mail, the NHS, climate change, climate change deniers... it's all devolved into the same pointless quackery and whataboutism. I agree with @ChrisMaunder in this; It has been dismaying to see, has nothing to do with the good intentions of the site, and reflects badly on it. I, too, have gotten sucked into stupid arguments from time to time, because it drives me nuts to see people who should be reasonably well adjusted human beings, with at least enough intelligence to hold down a job writing software, express what I consider to be ridiculous and idiotic opinions without saying a thing against it. I have a theory; Our profession, its attention to detail, the obsessive nature it fosters and rewards, actually turns people into maniacs when it comes to their opinions, being right on the internet, and generally not knowing when to walk away from an argument. This, I submit, is manifest in the Soapbox. I think the way the Soapbox has fostered degeneracy of this sort in the last few years is prima facie evidence that this stuff feeds on itself, sucks in energies that really should be spent elsewhere, and that we'd all be better off without it. Airing these opinions doesn't may allow people to "vent"; but the echo chamber just gets louder and louder and nobody gets anywhere. I understand your point of view on this, and IMHO, it probably conforms with a lot of your other views as well, if I might say.... ;P ;P :laugh: Basically, you think all forms of regulation are to be mistrusted and people should work out their own kinks. Fair enough, and broadly I agree with that principle. But this is not print media, or public access, or cable news, or anything that could be construed as public service, or an artifact of free speech. This is a programming website run as a private enterprise. I could take it or leave it, the Soapbox, but if 'twere me, I'd be more on the side of shutting it down, as I think it's just not making the site any better. Anyway. Just my 10 cents.

  • So I went to Chernobyl last week...

    pparently a series about Chernobyl was aired some times ago

    Yes, only a month or two ago in fact. HBO's Chernobyl. It's actually a dramatized mini-series, not a documentary, but it's quite close to the facts. They took liberties with some of the characters for the purposes of telling the story, and it shows one or two scenes which only happened in anecdotal, and therefore unreliable, testimony. But it's very, very well put together and hugely gripping.

  • VS Code On Linux
    M Mel Padden

    The philosophy is totally different to the classic .Net / Visual Studio ecosystem, and that is no bad thing IMHO. It does mean you have to actually decide what plugins etc. you want, and install them, to get your toolchain going, but that is a small price to pay for the flexibility and lack of bloat.

    It could be kind of a chicken/egg thing there, though. They probably reckon that local shoppers would rather just pop down in person, so they don't update the website, and everyone shops on the big sites...

  • NPM dependency madness
    M Mel Padden

    Has anyone else noticed that NPM and Angular (in particular) generates a shocking number of dependency clashes? When I do an

    npm ls -depth=0

    I get about one hundred "ERR" lines, saying that I am missing peer dependencies. I am using Angular CLI on Angular 4, and apparently, npm has no "cleanup" function to resolve clashing and missing dependencies. Which begs the question; what the hell is it for, then? :wtf:
