Daikon

Daikon (大根, literally "big root"), also known by many other names depending on context, is a mild-flavored winter radish (Raphanus sativus) usually characterized by fast-growing leaves and a long, white, napiform root. Originally native to Southeast or continental East Asia, daikon is harvested and consumed throughout the region (as well as in South Asia).

Names

In culinary contexts, "daikon" or "daikon radish" (from its Japanese name) is the most common in all forms of English, although historical ties to South Asia permit mooli (from its Hindi name and also in Urdu) as a general synonym in British English. The generic terms white radish, winter radish, Oriental radish, long white radish, and other terms are also used. Other synonyms usually vary by region or describe regional varieties of the vegetable. When it is necessary to distinguish the usual Japanese form from others, it is sometimes known as Japanese radish or "true daikon". The vegetable's Mandarin names are still uncommon in English; in most forms of Chinese cuisine, it is usually known as Chinese white radish, although in Cantonese and Malaysian cuisine, it is encountered as lobak or lo pak. In the cuisines of Hokkien-speaking areas such as Singapore, it is also known as chai tow or chai tau, and in South Asia as mooli. In any of these, it may also simply be referred to as "radish", with the regional variety implied by context. In English-speaking countries, it is also sometimes marketed as icicle radish.

Daikon (system)

Daikon is a computer program that detects likely invariants of programs. An invariant is a condition that always holds true at certain points in the program. It is mainly used for debugging programs in late development, or checking modifications to existing code.

Properties

Daikon can detect properties in C, C++, Java, Perl, and IOA programs, as well as spreadsheet files or other data sources. Daikon is easy to extend and is free software.

    it's cold outside and we're
    running with the air con on
    it's hard to speak when we're biting
    out leftist tongues
    half what we expect
    dirt right on the page
    pissing in your drink
    only shows your age
    meaning is not clear
    or enough to keep around
    a structure that was so old
    that it's now out
    and this camping will
    keep coldness into the ground
    till a ton is equal a pound
    ethics can't
    tell us what's wrong from right
