Breakfast Black Beans

-
Dice 1 medium onion finely, place in a sauce-pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil, and cook on medium-high, stirring frequently,  till they are dark-brown/caramelized (around 5 minutes or less).  Put to one side.

While the onions are cooking, rinse 1 can of black beans, and rinse the heck out of the beans to get rid of the "canned" taste.
Place  in a medium-sized bowl, and mix in 1 large tomato diced into 1/2" chunks

In a small sauce-pan (or ladle, or some such), add
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
and heat on high till the seeds just start crackling.  Then, add in 
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
salt to taste
stir, and mix this into the beans/tomatoes. 

Get yourself some peeled & cooked shrimp (i just buy 'em frozen at the supermarket.  Defrosting is fast - just run some water over it for a minute or so).

Finally, scramble up 4 eggs.  And no, I'm not going to tell you how to do that :-)
(ok, if you really want to know, check it out here)

Place a small handful of baby spinach into 4 bowls.
Divide the bean carrots on top of the tomatoes. 
Place the onions on top of that, and the shrimp on top of that.
Top with some fresh sour cream, some hot sauce of your preference, and serve with a pita chips (or tortilla chips) and a glass of barbaresco.  Mmmmmm

Erlang, Binaries, and Garbage Collection (Sigh)

-

The nice thing about garbage-collection is that it is makes memory management absolutely transparent to you Of course, the above is true right up to the point when it stops being transparent, at which point it does a phase change from nice to clusterf**k of biblical proportions .  There are entire posts, books, and suicide notes that have been written about this, and I have no great desire to add to them, save with the minor comment that paranoia about garbage-collection is still justified , albeit only in the edge-cases for most people. That said, I'll give you that Erlang GC is in many ways much, much better positioned in this regard than, oh, Java, but it still rears up and bites you in the butt when you least expect it. ( More information about Erlang's GC vis-a-vis Java here , and Jesper's truly excellent description of Erlang's GC here ).  A story from the past should serve to illustrate this. Once upon a time, in a magical land far far away - well, Her

Cannonball Tree!

Spotted this one just outside the Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bangalore .  Its called the Cannonball Tree , but is - technically (i.e., in Latin, if thats your metier) - Couroupita Guianensis , or ನಾಗಲಿಂಗ ಪುಷ್ಪಾ  in Kannada. The fruits look like Cannonballs (well, d-uh), and the flowers are really quite amazing, and pretty ludicrously distinctive...

Visualizing Prime Numbers

-
Image
From Jason Davies , we have El Patron de Los Primos , probably one of the coolest prime number visualizer that I've seen.  For every Natural number, he draws a periodic curve that intersects at that number and each of its multiples.  Needless to say, prime numbers are touched by only two curves (itself and 1 ). You can scroll to the right, and move up the prime food change. (The image above is a screen grab.  Go here to see the actual thing)
