In the context of food safety it's pretty unambiguous what E. Coli is referring to, and what to do about it. I was talking about my own knowledge having only really learned about it in that context working as a chef, and not in biology

He also knew how to deliberately be a jackass for effect, which is a survival skill in commercial kitchens when paired with a thick skin. Fundamental emotional issues aside, I do know that his outward-facing persona was prone to being rathe

Yeah he deliberately hammed it up for his book with this stuff, and he probably couldn't have made a name for himself if he didn't. I remember the talk show interviews in which he gave the "never order fish on a Monday"

I thought the same thing with the Godot game engine's GDScript. Aside from a few class-level implementation details (IIRC, it's been a while) it's essentially Python, syntactically. "Ugh... If I'm going to learn a

I reckon this all comes down to a bunch of diligence/negligence judgements that will eventually be ironed out in the courts if necessary after some initial broad legislation, but as someone with no legal expertise, at least, it still s

I imagine the same way they do for actual photographs in which they haven’t identified the victim, which I’d guess is a pretty big percentage. Stuff like this is never cut-and-dried, but the law deals with ambiguous situations all the time.
