Please clarify. Are you interested in learning about general software development, or specifically in designing a new software language?

No need for clarification; his post is only there for the hidden spam link.

I can't find one, even when mousing around. What's your secret?
EDIT: Never mind. Found it.

It's a hidden link spammer.

You want a "positive response"? I am positive that your hidden-link spam is not going to last long.

You can really learn some language if you listen to 'rap music' of spend some time in a bar full of drunken sailors. Or drunken anyone, for that matter.

Except she can't - Covid regulations, you know.
So spamming - fairly badly - is all she can do, poor thing.

It's a good thing we don't have (a publicly acknowledged) death squad to met out punishment.

There are no real tutorials for languages (C#, C++... ) on CodeProject (unfortunately).
You should get a book (paper or online) or look at places like udemy.com for beginner language tutorials.
I've seen (in an email/twitter) that CodeProject is starting a mentor programs; but I've not looked into it.
I'd rather be phishing!

The Lidl supermarket chain is making a big splash of openings in my area. I went to one as some of the sales advertised were quite attractive for my food acquisition habits. They are accurately reputed to carry a lot of store-branded items and I saw this coffee, also on sale.
"Lidl Preferred Selection gold coffee" - and, although I've a decent stash of my preferred Latin roast (Cafe Caribe[^]) the combination of curiosity and price got me to buy in (500gm worth).
It's less darkly roasted than the Latin roast and decidedly (and surprisingly) acidic by comparison. As I drink it black, no sugar, I've nothing to tame the acidity*. So here's my question (and other's, aside from Germans, may chime in):
Is this acidic roast characteristic of German coffee roasts or just this particular item?
* Actually, I just threw some star anise and it does what I love it for and takes the edge off of coffee that just has too much bite. Quite nice after that treatment.

I don't know anything much about Cafe Caribe, but the Lidl coffee is a mix of Arabica and Robusta beans - which gives more flavour (and caffeine) but much higher acidity than "pure Arabica".
So if the Cafe Caribe is 100% Arabica then that could account for the bitterness, even if the roast is milder.

It wasn't part of the purchasing choices but the package only mentions the Arabica.
Something I only found out, by accident, within the last year - the "robusta" beans, mainly from Brazil, are preferred for Espresso (the enhanced acidity, perhaps?). Your explanation, although generally plausible, doesn't fit this case. The coffee source, in general, also makes a difference.
All things being equal, I like Sumatran coffee - very deep and rich. It also goes at a premium, in general, and since I am not any sort of a coffee Mavin (gourmet, but more rational), it's not worth paying triple the price. Especially if I have cookies (biscuits, to you) or halavah handy to go with it and mute any subtleties.

Curious, I'll try that,
you use ground star anise or the whole pod (in what quantity, approx) ?

Whole Star Anise (I ground it once - a mistake).
How many depends upon size of cup and personal taste. If there's any "trick" to it, it is to re-use the star anise and not use fresh ones each time.
Star Anise takes quite a while to really soak through to diffuse the flavors into the beverage. It actually gets more potent for the first bunch of uses and then you replace it when it, in your opinion, needs to be replaced. Often an overnight storage in the bottom of your favorite cup (or coffee brewing receptacle) allows this soaking to progress nicely for the morning.
Currently - for this quite acidic coffee: four stars in aprox 450ml cup. Coffee is brewed directly into the cup and I go and get it as soon as I get a chance (after it stops gurgling).
I have used anise seed for the same effect, but in this case mixed with and ground with the coffee prior to brewing. Obviously only one shot so you want to grind that anise seed quite fine. Effect is very similar. Again, all a matter of taste.
For either, too much and it crosses over into a licorice taste - not my goal but everyone's taste varies.

Acidity and caffeine depends somewhat on the beans, but mostly on the roast.
A very dark roast can have a pH of 7.5 while a very light roast can have a pH of 5.5
Light roast can also have up to 4 times as much caffeine than dark roast.
