Imagine having a traditional Bologna prosciutto crudo made from plant

it's not prosciutto crudo, it's a vegetable thing.

I agree with this ban that meat terms should be used for meat and not vegan alternatives. And as others pointed out, Italy is not only known for pizza, pasta and their wines, their meat is also protected in the same way their wine is. This has a side-effect of ensuring the traditional meat products will remain meat-based.

> And that is a problem strictly unique to shell scripting ? :) With systemd you know ? Or pick one arbitrary thing and just deny other possibilities ?

If I run /etc/init.d/foo start to start a service, the service is forked from my current shell and therefore inherits everything from the shell. If I instead run service foo start, the tool instead sends a message to PID 1 process to fork the service, inheriting everything from PID 1. At that point, anything that can be changed could only have been changed by systemd itself, so if systemd doesn't know about something, then it can only be in the default state.

> And "spaces" problem is solved.

No, it's not. Write a shell script that reads a shell command (that contains quoted arguments with spaces in them!) from a file, appends some extra arguments to that command, and runs that command. The only way I could get that working was to go through Python instead.
Why Housing Is Unaffordable: The Elasticity of Supply
Names like "Steve" and "Pluto" take too long to type. Since the meanings are arbitrary anyway, you should just use A, B, C, etc.

If you have a need for more than 26 names, you can start to also use letter pairs.

For increased efficiency, a nightly job can compute the use-count of each referenced object, and assign it a new name according to an alphabetic Huffman code. This will minimize the amount of typing that developers have to waste their time doing.

Many languages also do allow Unicode, including emojis, so this opens up additional options which may stand out better visually.

I'm joking obviously. I think you should make an effort to give descriptive names to things, and that, as code changes, you should judiciously refactor and rename. An important purpose of code is to be read and to be understood.

However, unnecessary and impenetrable jargon can be useful for protecting a niche in an organization, just as languages incomprehensible to outsiders (say, Gaelic) can be useful in nationalist projects. When the hammer of Management comes down to say Thou Shalt Write it in Java, it is like L'Academie Francaise stamping out some dialect in the Pyrenees, or extending its influence over Algeria. So that can be a reason for choosing special names known only within your team, or for writing it in Haskell or Rust.

Loosely related on the "alternate model", maybe some inspiration from different broker operating models can be used.

There are the brokers that operate on a commission basis: you get the exchange price but pay a commission on each trade.

And there's the "free" brokers where there's no commission because it's already included in the spread. That is, the price you see is a resell of the original exchange price with broker's markup. I ain't fooled by "free" which can end up more expensive than transparently commissioned but maybe some people are.

Good point. Meta's brand identity is pretty much the blue you picked. I see your marker color is exactly the hex value for blue that's on most of their website.

I think you could go a little lighter, pretty sure the actual trains have a lighter more saturated blue on them. Something closer to the blue you're using for the Mass Bay Trans Authority would be fine, and there's no overlap in service areas to make that confusing.

Or maybe different marker size/shape for regional vs national trains.

"Why do so many big box stores seem to follow the huge growth -> saturation -> quick implosion and bankruptcy script?"

Debt financing.

Zigging a bit, my family has been watching The Foods that Built America: https://www.history.com/shows/the-food-that-built-america It seems that about half the episodes tell the same story: Somebody built a new food concept, or polished an existing one in some very useful economic way. They're super ambitious and pretty much as soon as they proved out their base restaurant or sold to a few stores, they immediately opened a couple dozen new restaurants or built a huge new factory. Which they do by loading up on huge, huge amounts of debt. Most of the rest of the human interest portion of the episode talks about the stresses of pulling in enough money to pay the debt. Many of them get acquired or end up getting so much external investment that it amounts to an acquisition.

Of course it's a survivor bias situation; we're not getting told stories about the companies that did the same thing but failed utterly.

While the past 20 years of ~zero interest rates have made this even easier, it isn't necessary. It has quite often been possible to go to some banks with what looks like a good idea and end up in debt up to your eyeballs while expanding your business size possibly by entire factors of magnitude virtually overnight. It ends up very similar to the venture capital pattern we're familiar with in our industry even if isn't exactly the same forces. The result is basically a bimodal distribution; either you manage to pay down the debt to some reasonable level and you end up with a large money-printing business, or you don't, and you have to liquidate everything.

Basically you're seeing the failing side of the bimodal distribution of this pattern. Since a business always works to project strength, you never see them visibly ailing; it's just, there's this big edifice that looks invincible and then virtually overnight it's gone.

A further elaboration relevant to BB&B is that when you're in debt trouble, you become extremely vulnerable financially. You need to pay off that debt, and that opens you up to corporate raiders who supply you with enough to keep you afloat, but then have a lot of options to do things useful in the short term but that kill the company in the long term. With clever structuring, they can keep the profits but dump the debt with the company itself as it goes under. BB&B had some of this going on. However, I consider this a further consequence of the original debt financing, basically one of the concrete ways it can fail.

(Expect to see some more over the next few years. There's a lot of "zombie companies" out there (a term you can google), which is a term for the companies making just enough revenue to pay the interest load on their debts but not pay down principle. In a zero-interest rate world they could sort of chug along indefinitely, but as they have to pay real interest you're going to see these companies really start to struggle.)

About that. I discovered a really neat hack a few years ago, but I don't have the juice to pull it off.

Constitutional amendments never expire and they can't be canceled, as long as that's not written into the wording itself. The ERA for instance, needed to be ratified within 7 years, or it became invalid. But old amendments didn't do that... so they wait around for centuries.

And there's a particular amendment that was part of the original bill of rights (there were 12, of those 10 were ratified more or less immediately, and the 11th in the 1990s). This amendment demands that there must be one representative for ever 50,000 constituents. And it's already been ratified my much of New England (plus Kentucky!).

If you happened to live in say, I dunno, Nebraska... you could conceivably get the ball rolling just by going in to talk to your state legislator. Call up his local office, ask if there's a time where you could come in and see him for 5 minutes, and then pour your heart out about how important it is to you.

If he even brings it to a vote, that might be the sort of viral kick-in-the-pants it would need. But if it were ratified by your state, that would pique the interest of other states.

You can check out what I've said, Wikipedia is sufficient to confirm all of it.

One of the shows also did an experiment of downloading software from the screen itself - you sent off for a little box which I think (it's been a while!) plugged into the Beeb's serial port, fired up a bit of software and just before the end of the show they'd put a little square graphic overlay over the broadcast in the bottom left hand corner.

That was your queue to literally physically stick the box over that square on the screen and then a few minutes later during the end credits that square would turn into what would look like to the human eye just plain old static but to the sensor in the box stuck over it, it was reading it as a datastream that the software would interpret and save.

To be honestly it wasn't terribly reliable, I think we got it to work maybe once or twice in the few times they did it but was an interesting experiment by the BBC back in the 80s!

“ just not having fun in life.”

That statement is incredible to me. Can you explain what not having fun would look like to you?
No one's arguing with that (though, of course, the devil is in the details...)

Just, the combination of:

- Denying people the practical ability to contact their loved ones except by phone

- Charging a price that is very high compared to outside rates for this contact (prohibitively so)

- Paying prisoners a tiny fraction of outside rates, such that

- Only people who can depend upon money coming from outside can contact family

is both cruel and probably increases recidivism.

According to a graph in the article the suicide rate bottomed around the year 2000 and has since risen steadily. I wonder why. You could say that the strong economy in the late 1990s reduced the number of suicides, but since 2000 the uptrend is steady -- you don't see a temporary spike around the deep 2008-2009 recession.
If I only would need file sync I'd use Syncthing. But with calendars, adresses, chat, mail, decks, etc. I don't know another solution. Some compromises are necessary: I didn't find e.g. a good note taking app with sharing among members. Chat posts cannot be edited.

So far our AIO based installation worked well enough (with PC, Mac and Android clients). But we do not have a lot of files (yet).

Hmm. I wonder where I get the 40-character-limit memory so strongly from…

Line length was limited by a byte-length counter and IIRC included the line number and maybe EOL, so would be something like 253 or 252. Do the maximum usable variable name length will be a couple of bytes less than that as you'll need a couple of characters to do something with is (LongLongLong...Long=1 and so forth).

EDIT: oh, interesting. The only references I can find to a variable name limit of 40 characters are referring to the PC BASIC implementations by MS: GWBasic, QuickBasic, and QBasic. I did do work in those too.
Software is eating all cars. It just happens that there weren't many good BEVs 20 years ago, so the touchscreen-takeover looks correlated with EVs.

Old Leaf and Renault Zoe have barely any tech in them (by modern standards). There was a niche Coda EV that was as "dumb" as any car from its era. EVs only need software for battery management.

Conversely, overuse of software, touchscreens and faux buttons made its way to contemporary ICE cars too. The crappy UI that VW has created for ID.3 has been "backported" to their ICE hatchbacks. Every car you buy with a 2024 model-year is going to be an iPad on wheels.

I expected working dogs to actually be largely free of genetic issues, which is why I asked -- but somehow we've _still_ managed to give them a bunch of problems.

And that's discounting the fact that most people simply don't have the will or the time to give a working dog the attention and stimulation that it needs to not be a neurotic mess.
It would be more accurate to say there is no such thing as a 100% hypoallergenic dog. But it is well known that different dogs trigger the allergy more intensely than others, so if you get a dog that is considered “hypoallergenic” to use the common vernacular, you are less likely to have many if any symptoms. This largely depends on the individual’s allergies.

I could’ve been more precise with my language I suppose.
