That is sadly literally how it is explained both in classes and in textbooks. It’s incorrect but it’s how it’s taught which is the root of a lot of misconceptions and why this “explanation” which is not correct keeps living on.
There are regional US foods. There are, for example, many regional kinds of barbecue, including two varieties of pulled pork in North Carolina (eastern Carolina barbecue with a vinegar-pepper sauce, and western or Lexington barbecue that adds tomato and sometimes sugar), Texas brisket, and many others. Likewise there are Surrey hams (nothing like so-called "Virginia" ham despite representing colonial-era Virginian ham smoking and curing recipes), red-eye country hams, city hams (the so-called "Virginia" ham), spam, etc. There are Virginia peanuts that are larger and crispier than any others you'll find, but in Louisiana you'll find boiled peanuts instead. Kentucky has its juleps and Derby (or "May Day") pies as well as hot-browns. Florida serves key lime pie, mojitos, Cuban sandwiches (really invented in Tampa and blending Cuban and Italian deli traditions) and Cuban coffee. Hawaii has poké, which is now spreading everywhere. There are authentic regional foods in the United States, some with roots going back to the colonial era, some more modern.
It would be politically incorrect to protect those with a European-style system of regional designations, however. On the right, regulations, especially those creating the potential (or certainty of) cartel pricing, are unwelcome. On the center and moderate left, there is little desire to promote regionalism over a national picture that emphasizes a common "America" that all citizens share. On the far left, you find the absolute denial that America (or more specifically white America) has any sort of culture of its own. The federal United States is not quite set up for regional distinctions the same way that the EU, as a much looser set of sovereign nations, is.
Cybernetic again, cheese is more than the sum of its part.

I’m only half joking. Plus, for some recipe the food that the cow ate and the altitude do make a difference in the output.

I’m all for other places making cheese and whatnot.

But when you buy the said cheese to find the exact taste you know since childhood, and that you miss in the exotic land you are living as a adult…

You can be picky on the product. I want the Madeleine de Proust. Not a taste-a-like.

Those labels help me do that. If I want the real deal I will buy it and the label will help me archive that goal. ( not always, see below )

If I feel adventurous, I have nothing against trying other cheeses. Some are good, some might event be identical to the label-cheese. I’m open to that.

Furthermore, and tangentially related … folk should be open to the idea that some produce don’t travel well. They just don’t.

My favorite cheese is embarrassingly bad when I found the official label in the US. The taste is more sauer and the consistency different. It’s just sad.( to eat )
I have a degree in math and I disagree with this. ω_0 definitely looks better than omega_0, but it is much harder to enter unless you have a special keyboard setup.

Suppose you write a function that uses a variable ω_0, and somebody else wants to change it. Unless they have the same keyboard setup as you, they will have to just copy-past it everywhere. And what if you have several variable with special names?
This isn’t about symmetric connections. It’s about Altice lowering the upstream from 35 Mbps to 5 Mbps.

Going from 35 Mbps to 5 Mbps is ridiculous. It effectively lowers the quality of the broadband by bottlenecking connection.

You need upstream bandwidth to use your downstream. Having only 5% upstream of your downstream means the connection is at risk of congestion merely from return packets when downloading.

Once you saturate your upstream your downstream will become laggy and slow down.

Even ignoring headline downstream speeds, 5 Mbps of upstream bandwidth is a piddling amount of bandwidth. It is trivial to exhaust that amount of bandwidth just by normal Internet usage and a video call.

The whole thing is just a money grab from Altice by forcing customers to upgrade to more expensive packages just to get working broadband equivalent to what they had before.
TeamSpeak has cemented Mumbles paradigm in the minds of many, many mainstream people years before Discord existed. Mumble works pretty much the same in terms of convenience and simplicity. It's not that niche. Try it before you knock it.

tiddlywiki to me is scary concept compared to plaintext, it always frightens me that data becomes corrupted or not recoverable from from that html/js blob.

But it is also very cool concept, it could be much powerful than it is, think smalltalk like VM inside HTML file.
Claiming that America has slow connections compared to Europe without acknowledging the obvious differences in infrastructure cost is ridiculous.

Europe is way more dense than America, just look at any light pollution map and compare. Europe has also a LOT of previously built roads that make deployments way cheaper.

Once you take that into account, the ISP market in the US is not that dysfunctional, it’s just that economies of scale matter too much.
That's the initial page that clicking on the submitted link redirects to. The back button seems to work in a standard way for navigation with the webpage itself (as it's just a single html file; it's Tiddlywiki after all); it seems that the back button is broken only across the initial navigation from an external site to this webpage. That's ok with me personally (just have to long press/long click the back button on Chrome/Firefox, and on Safari even the initial navigation works fine), given everything else that this page is doing. (Besides, in practice if you were to use this you would be opening the downloaded index.html file in a separate tab/window anyway, not navigating to it from other webpages.)
Because cargo ships use massive amounts of energy and a little bit of solar power would do essentially nothing.
This. I can easily believe that systemd is an improvement in many ways for people who have time to understand it (especially in NixOS, as noted by another commenter). But I'm not happy that so many parts of Linux now have such a steep learning curve.
I guess (we don't really have them here) that while they might never be the cheapest option they will most often be a cheap option.

And where every other store is cheap on some stuff and absolutely ripping you off on others it is kind of nice to know with greater confidence that you are not being ripped off.

Also, if a 10x pack costs 90% of a 24x pack at the regular store a dollar store might be decently priced for a 8x pack. Which is fantastic if you only need and want ~5.
As a DevOps, having to know a bunch of Linux and system programming is a job requirement. In the old days Unix system admins were very familiar with this also.
Thanks! I confused it with C99.
The argument is that the details matter. Slightly different breeds of animal, different weather conditions, or different bacterial ecosystems affect the resulting cheese. You can make something similar to these products elsewhere, but it won't be exactly the same.

Some products are famous and specific enough that customers have a right to be able to know when it's the real deal (and there are many such customers - otherwise these names wouldn't matter at all).

If you want to produce something similar, you can start a new brand with other local businesses (Australeta say), label it Feta-like until customers recognize and choose it because they like it. You can agree whatever rules you like between you for how it's made and what constitutes 'real' Australeta so you have a consistent quality product.

You can even do that and register your own new protected name - see the recent split of Corpinnat from Cava as a recent real-world example: https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2019/02/nine-producers-bre...
> If you think hundreds of years worth of collective professional experience is wrong and you're right, well, maybe you're not.

Often, but that’s not what is happening here. Here you have real world cooks and the collective experience of them telling recipe writers that you can’t caramelise onions in 5-10 minutes.

In your own video examples, the onions aren’t caramelised, they aren’t even cooked. You can tell because you can still see the green/white colour of the onions.

This is what they should look like: http://rachel-cuisine.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ob_598de...

What you’ve made is halfcooked onions that have been fried in butter and sugar. Which may taste perfectly fine, but also nothing like the real thing.
I'd love to try a Chicago-style pizza, but can't find it anywhere in my country and I'd have absolutely zero qualms about US protecting that (hard to export I know, but maybe the ingredients could be restricted?). Maybe it could even be shortened - Can I get a Chicago?

I'd also like to try "Crab Mac 'n' Cheese Dog"...

One thing is that in US there is always this range of quality. There is only one place in the world where I've been bitten by bed bugs and that was smack in the middle of NY. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the bite-marks, IM IN NEW YORK, how can this be?! But that range can be devastating when marketing. The "no regulations"-crowd can... hinder... progress as well as help.

On a more positive note [Wikipedia]:

"Bourbon's legal definition varies somewhat from country to country, but many trade agreements require that the name "bourbon" be reserved for products made in the United States. "

"Tennessee whiskey is straight whiskey produced in the U.S. state of Tennessee. Although it has been legally defined as a bourbon whiskey in some international trade agreements,[1][2][3] most current producers of Tennessee whiskey disclaim references to their products as "bourbon" and do not label them as such on any of their bottles or advertising materials. "
Probably the best way to solve this is to make it transparent to the customer how much they are paying to the restaurant and how much they are paying to the delivery service.

Recently I have been wondering if systemd solves problems that are becoming less and less relevant to developers. New services are often deployed as containers.

While systemd has a bunch of container-related functionality, it does not integrate well into the Kubernetes or even Docker workflow. It's used very little in those environments.

If you are building CoreOS or NixOS system images, or traditional Linux system services, then systemd matters. But I think way more services are being built for the container world where these problems are solved differently.

For example, the TLS configuration can be handled with common container patterns. The author's startup example would translate more easily to a full-blown Kubernetes environment once the VC funding hits their bank account if they had used containers from the start instead of first writing the service for systemd.

It's a shame because systemd is very powerful and I've enjoyed using it.
There is nothing more primitive than a robot that doesn't even know its own position and only follows a program with the hope that it works. (assuming a hobby CNC machine without servos).
I love cooking food the slow way.

Pans last longer, and the mess is much less.

In addition to onions, you can cook bacon on low for an hour and skip all the exploding grease that creates droplets in the air and, over time, makes dust sticky near the ceiling.
That is confusing. GCC specifically includes the "GCC runtime library exception" so that you can produce non-GPL binaries.
No it is indeed an excellent and very believable story (although taken to the extreme). The general moral of that story doesn't jive the notion of having to get a free app to continue reading a blog article, even if a web browser suffices from a technical standpoint; so I cheekily referenced it in that context.

Juicero definitely sounds like the inspiration for Doctorow's novella.
I manage a fablab used by grad students. We have both manual and CNC machines. Haas, too, but the cheaper stuff (TM and an older OM, VF stuf is $$$ for research budgets).

The eternal compromise is this: it's way easier to dismember or kill yourself on a manual machine (https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/14/nyregion/yale-student-die...). However, it's even easier to seriously fuck up an expensive CNC mill with a programming mistake.

Serisouly, these machine can and will destroy themselves if you tell them to, no questions asked or warnings. One single bug in your g-code and and there goes a 15K$ set of spindle bearings or worst.

Of course, a few tens of thousands down the drain is still better than dismemberment. But that also means that sometimes our machines are down for months or years until we can get a new grant to fix them.

People should listen to this guy. He's got some perspective. The main reason we keep things the way they are is something like tradition, or some kind of psychological effects where we want to fit in. Whatever it is, it's not reason. All the rationalizations come after.

Definitely should be able to put functions in the horizontal space, use colors as part of the syntax, use Unicode symbols where it is warranted.

I would go farther and say that we should have at least some ability to edit things in a non-serialized way, like a WYSIWYG math formula for example.

I hope people will also explore structural program editing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_editor

Almost forgot, one more crazy idea: switch to larger instantly reconfigurable touchscreen keyboards to allow more symbols to be entered easily.
Let's not be so pedantic. I meant visible ASCII symbols, character codes 32-126 plus newline.
> But, there is no doubt, if you buy Greek feta that is manufactured in Australia in addition with different recipes and ingredients origins, it is clearly inauthentic and deceptive.

There is pizza. There is New York (style) pizza, Chicago (style) pizza, Detroit, Montreal, etc. Each of those (styles) can be made anywhere. There's no reason why Chicago-style (deep-dish) pizza couldn't be made in London. Beside the physical location, what 'technical differences' are there between feta made in Greece versus Australia?

There are similar 'feta-style' cheese found in many other places:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feta#Similar_cheeses

Personally I don't necessarily mind protected labels, but I think that when you register a new one that an 'official alternative' should also be mandated so that people who want to make 'knock-off products' can know what to use if they're using the same recipe/process. This way consumers know what is "real" and and what is an alternative.

These three points are all well and good but they don't contradict my original points: Discord's UI is exceptionally confusing and requires specific knowledge to operate it. This isn't a field with brilliant UI either: eg it's often confusing whether you're muted or unmuted on most videoconferencing programs. Even so, Discord is definitely the most confusing videoconferencing UI I can remember using. I'm sure that harms adoption greatly, even if it is still very popular.
Idk this doesn't sound true about any of the Bengalis I have met. They all seem to care a lot about Rohingya (since it is especially close to them and they see the suffering), the Uighurs, Yemen, etc.

Israel's oppression of the Palestinians is decades older than all the conflicts you mention, which is why they probably don't get as much airtime comparatively.

Your whole country is exotic to me, and I formed my opinion on things as a old adult.

That only applies to people who don’t own the copyright. If you wrote the original code base, you can license it GPL, but continue to sell it under closed source license as well.

On the other hand, if someone forms it under the GPL, and adds some additional features, the original code base cannot pull those features back in the original closed source project, without ceasing to distribute the whole thing as closed source.

Choosing GPL effectively forms your code, and further code added by others can no longer be added to the “proprietary” branch. But you can continue adding code yourself in parallel in both branches.

> Why don't these Greek people have right to their heritage?

Probably because it would be difficult to find any reasonable middle ground between “can only be made at the geographical origin” and “can be made anywhere by anyone”

Also for a lot of product the origin more than the heritage of the people is central, such as the climate and soil in Champagne (which perhaps soon will be most historically authentic in southern Sweden after some climate change).

This is about regions keeping the right to their products, not necessarily people retaining that right. Move from Champagne and you can’t make Champagne. Not that complicated. Feta is a regional produce too - the name doesn’t really change that.

It's currently using wcc to compile the kernel https://github.com/wandwramp/wcc. We can swap it with gcc for sure, but require bit of work, especially the output format and backend.

Winix assumes the output file is in srec format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SREC_(file_format), so we would need to tweak gcc to support this header format and add backend support for WRAMP architecture.

ELF is quite complicated, if I have to do this, I probably just copy some codes from linux.

Already, if nothing more, raising awareness is a positive outcome of this initiative.

*However*, I guess it is easy to agree that the prescribed policies would face huge political opposition in attempts to implement them.
Look at what happened to Bernie's campaign!
(Unless, of course, something majeur / extraordinary circumstances - like the Pandemic - are invoked to pass such a policy package in one clean swoop).

Being it so, how about considering a simpler, less contentious, parallel alternative - a bypass around the mighty legal loopholes, media & lobby opposition?

That would be *the creation of Citizen's Wealth Fund*.
Just like Norway's Oil Fund. But instead of oil, the asset would be *the bailed out stocks*. In other words, in the "bailout action", the State buys stock, then the State would keep said stock in the fund.

Around 1999/2000 I worked at Universal Studios in Burbank. Shortly after I started working there in the networking group, a fellow employee asked me to reset a port on the core token ring switch. Being a helpful type, I clicked "disable" on the network management tool for the port and promptly everyone lost connectivity. To everything. A quick walk over to the NOC confirmed that yes, the entire campus was down, as well as a few satellite campuses.

I explained what I had done (which was met with incredulity, I mean, surely I had fucked something up and didn't just disable the described port)..

After the longest five minutes of my life, the network came back alive. And sure enough, only the port that I had disabled was disabled. After some troubleshooting with the vendor, it was determined that there was a software bug in the switch firmware. If the device was under heavy load, disabling a port caused the switch to reboot.

So that's how I took down the entire Universal Studios corporate network.
