As I understand it, EU Protected Designation of Origin rules are really broad and ban you from even describing a cheese as being in the style of Grana Padano or Parmesan, at least when selling it commercially. They're not just about protecting the consumer but a kind of protectionism. So ever since the protection was extended to the word Parmesan (for a while only Parmigiano-Reggiano was protected) supermarkets here in the UK have all kinds of weirdly generically-named cheeses that are basically cheaper imitations of Parmesan, but they can't describe them as such. There is no longer any generic name for this style of cheese in the English language they're allowed to use.
The "mere facts" would be a wide-angled camera showing the entire pitch and very few people would watch that, I think.

I don't think Apple will become comfortable and lazy due to hardware advantages.

Here's the more likely failure scenario:

As their hardware and cost structure advantages grow, they'll be anything but lazy. They'll be more energetic and and confidently push forward in locking down the Mac ecosystem. Newer or smaller open source apps will face larger and larger barriers.

Power users will hate it but feel torn since they want the hardware. It will be a long, difficult struggle because Apple will make it one.

I wish we had a protocol for articles and text content that couldn't be turned into an application layer with JavaScript. JavaScript took the web in a weird direction.

I've also longed for simpler world wide web for the purpose of distributing information. Hyperlinks, images, and structured text go a long way for things that do matter.

I can't remember the times I've spent evenings and nights reading a huge website, with dozens if not hundreds of long pages of information, and all laid in this 90's hypertext style format that was heavily interlinked so you could jump around and find more and more to read all the time until you fell asleep. Today, Wikipedia comes to mind (and I'm grateful they're still like that), but back then a lot of dedicated resources of information were maintained like that. And with minimal style, with no animated bells and whistles.

It's a lot harder to detect spacecraft manoeuvres than that. Depending on the type of thruster you might have a chance of detecting it if you have extremely sensitive, very expensive equipment closely monitoring a specific satellite in LEO, but nobody has enough of those to monitor every satellite, or even every military satellite constantly. At the distance of the Moon, forget it. No Earth based telescope can even resolve Chang'e 5 at all at this range, let alone a thrust plume. But even in LEO observing from another orbital sensor it's not easy, if the thruster is on the far side of the satellite, or using cold gas thrusters, or your view of the thruster is sufficiently blocked by a solar panel or antenna, also forget it.

There's a difference between hearing that such things happen, and suddenly finding an "Insights" (or more recently, "Cortana") e-mail in your inbox, telling you how much time you've spent on meetings, and "collaborating via e-mail and Teams", over the past week, complete with a friendly question like "did you make good use of your focus time this week?". The latter can really make you viscerally aware of just how much you're being surveilled, and in concrete terms.

(Or the helpful Cortana e-mailing you excerpts from your conversations, in which it highlighted what it interprets to be pending tasks. And because it comes as an e-mail, you know it's not being computed locally.)

The good news is, a lot of old software is still running fine on
today's computers and lightning fast compared to modern
behemoths. Too bad it's often not very compatible with other
people's and organisation's workflows. And the attitudes are
sometimes a bit strange because people vastly underestimate the
capabilities of certain programs, especially if they run in the
terminal. Yes, Vim looks weird at first. But it also doesn't
need to spin up a web browser first and starts instantly on
pretty much every hardware that you didn't dig out of a museum.

Although to be fair I once tinkered a bit with Electron and was
surprised at how lightning fast it can be if it's not
overburdened. Your comparison with gas is great - it seems
optimisation is always done just enough that acceptance from the
target audience doesn't suffer too much, and the rest of the
performance gain is sunk somewhere in the vast network of
dependencies that nobody cared to clean up.

I've sometimes wondered what a hypothetical super-intelligent being could program using a BBC Micro. Perhaps they could exploit the resonances of the circuits to perform analogue computation? I heard that evolutionary algorithms sometimes exploit the physical properties of circuits, and so to control for that there are two computers running the same code at different temperatures. I think they literally put one in a fridge.

Google's CAPTCHA is a cancer of the internet. We're all training their AI without any renumeration. I genuinely hope that some government figures out how to sue them. I've sat down for minutes, repeating CAPTCHAs over and over again, just to log in to an account or download something.

A theoretical person that also wouldn't get shown another captcha as a follow-up. I constantly fail captchas on some technicalities (or haste), and have never managed to fail so many to be flagged as a bot and be denied to a website.
Debuggers are in almost all cases a superset of print statements. However, you have to learn how to use them effectively since there’s so much you can do. I assure you that single stepping to the problem is not how to use a debugger to find problems ;)
CAPTCHAs don't work.

At least for humans. It's fairly easy to write a script with current technology even for an average "hacker" to solve them. But on the other hand it's extremely hard, nearly impossible for a person with special needs to complete them. Even for average person solving some of CAPTCHAs is a hassle.

Most of the popular CAPTCHAs services are "robot-friendly" and providers don't care who solves them, they just need data, they don't need to prove you're human.

I see no point choosing M1 Pro over M1 Air as a dev machine. $300 extra buys you mostly the TouchBar.

Air has a better form factor (no sharp edge under wrists). Better keyboard (real top row). Both have essentially the same specs. Battery life on both is an overkill. Active cooling makes relatively small difference and kicks in only in long workloads (longer than a reasonable build should take).

In Ireland we have zebra and pelican crossings. The general term used in the driver training literature is "pedestrian crossing." Most people would recognise the term "crosswalk" from American media, though.

I really applaud Microsoft for their backwards compatibility efforts and I'm sure organizations love it. But I personally don't need to run Windows software from 20 years ago.

For me, there is no reason to use Windows over any of the more modern lean and mean operating systems available, and I know a ton of blue collar workers in the U.S. who only have a smartphone and maybe a tablet.

Windows is just not very easy to use by 2020 standards because of all its baggage and consumers care a lot more about that kinda thing compared to organizations. Most of Microsofts attempts to modernize (Microsoft Store, UWP, sandboxing, etc.) seem to have stalled or failed unfortunately.

Honestly, at this point it might make more sense for Microsoft to just milk Windows for as long as possible while minimizing costs and investing in their other businesses (like Azure). Trying to modernize Windows would be like trying to modernize Edge to be competitive with Chrome.
I think the blog is complaining about a more general thing - that Americans often assume that everone is American and make decisions based on this assumption. This can lead to a range of frustration from the annoying-but-whatever (taxis aren't always yellow) to WTF (dimes, nickels oh-my).

They're currently the dominant culture so it's not an awful assumption - people generally can accommodate and work around these issues. It's just, I dunno, a bit insensitive or frustrating?
This:

Manager: Can I give you some feedback?
Direct: Sure, boss.
Manager: When you tell my boss bad news before me, even with the best of intentions, I end up getting in a lot of trouble for not knowing before he did. Can you try to tell me first, going forward?

Is soooo American (or maybe more countries?). All this tells me is that the boss of the manager is a whiny micromanager and I feel like the boss of the boss needs to be informed, I mean why would you ever bring someone into trouble over bad news. Bad news are just facts. What's this trouble anyway?? It's such an hierarchical chain of events. If the nature of the bad news is such that the boss really does get into trouble, then it's time for some open and honest discussion on how to do things better from now on. Nothing negative about this imo.

I mean the whole idea that you somehow need to discipline colleagues by giving them "trouble" is just ludicrous to me. Why not just assume that everyone around you is a smart individual with good intentions and that errors sometimes happen and we can bear the consequences together. Man this gets me worked up.
What kind of flight profile did China take?

I assumed it would take 3 days to get to the moon. I think that’s how long Apollo took. But they launched on Monday, and won’t get into lunar orbit until Saturday, which is 5 days.

But being that this is a robotic mission, that expediency wasn’t as important. And to save fuel, they might have circled around the Earth a few times to get a gravitational assist to launch to the moon.

I used to close the browser tab when being forced to train Google's image recognition AI, now it's impossible as even some services from public administration of my country embedded this cancer.
For reference to what slow user interface means I did some comparisons to Chrome and best case scenario (cloning super light 404 pages) Opening tabs is ~5-20x slower, while closing tabs is over 1000x slower. Closing tabs is so slow you can actually see them closing one at a time (after selecting close all tabs). Vivaldi UI is written in javascript (react) and runs as blocking single thread - Firing slow operation like closing a tab means UI freezes and stops accepting new commands for up to one second. Going fullscreen on Youtube can also take over one second.

>going full-screen on YT: over 1 second

>returning from full-screen on YT: over 1.2 seconds

>opening Tab: 700 millisecond, 1.75 seconds, 3.453 seconds, 6.078 seconds, 7.734 seconds

>opening Tab totals: 0.700-7.7 seconds

>closing Tab: 1.468 seconds, 2.407 seconds, infinity because browser lost the Click event, 968 millisecond, 1.390 seconds, infinity, 700 millisecond

>closing Tab totals: 0.7-2.4 seconds or infinity if you aren't lucky

>time you have to wait after opening few tabs in background for the page to regaining usability: 11 seconds!

“Simplifying English for the Americans”:

https://youtu.be/UCo0hSFAWOc
Reminds me of a case here in Norway a few years ago back in 2016 where Synnøve Finden, one of the biggest dairy companies in the country, produced a new cheese and marketed it as a “Jarlsberg type cheese”. The dairy company that makes Jarlsberg did not look happily at this and was able to get a ruling that Synnøve Finden was not allowed to do this.

https://www.dairyreporter.com/Article/2016/12/16/TINE-and-Sy...

What the article I linked here does not mention however is that Synnøve Finden complied in a bit of a joking matter where for all of the cheese that had already been packaged with such labeling they printed out black stickers that said “CENSORED” over where the wording with Jarlsberg was. In doing so they managed to get an extra bit of publicity.

I only ever bought Kongsgård once and prefer the original Jarlsberg, but I know that some people liked Kongsgård.

Seems that in a blind test more people liked the original Jarlsberg better too.

https://www.tv2.no/a/8119934/ (article in Norwegian).

And it looks like the Kongsgård cheese is no longer being sold since 2018.
