"First, the compiler defined a secret global variable for each inbound function parameter, plus another secret global variable for each function to hold the return address"

I believe 'hidden' is the word he's looking for.

And one doesn't have to go all that far into history to find architectures w/o hardware support for a return stack, see e.g. Parallax Propeller.

And the problem with static variables (hidden or not) is not only that they prevent recursion, but also reentrancy.

I think that article could have benefited from a peer review from one of his colleagues at Microsoft.

Cider makers could maybe provide me with a clue...

I understand apple pectin (or fruit pectins in general) have methoxy groups, and these can lead to production of methanol. Is this a concern in cider making, and are there steps cider makers take to minimize this production?

> If a person has tried every other option and there is still no end to their pain

Except they certainly haven't, both because of very limited resources and became they are probably in no condition to figure what they could or should try themselves and are dependent on doctors, family members and other people (who also might have only very limited capacity to help her)
There's at least one bit that's missing here, even if the claim is entirely accurate:

Both the total pie and the total number of creators has increased. Hollywood feature film production is [estimated](hhttps://www.quora.com/How-many-people-work-in-the-film-indus...) to be 3000-7000 people. There are [approximately 61.1 *million* YouTube creators](https://explodingtopics.com/blog/youtube-creator-stats), or approximately 10,000 times more. There could easily be 100x more money flowing to the total visual entertainment creator community and the old guard film creators could still get less than they used to.

I don't know exactly what to search for to get similar numbers for music production, but I suspect it is similar: There's a lot more creators and they get less each even though it's more in total, and this is especially hitting "old timers" that used to get the bulk of the old total and get less with the new setup.
Google's worst official website: Google Grow
just ship fast, outsource to virtual assistants or use ai tools/copilot to build anything and launch fast even if its fault. launch 10 times in a 10 months than once every 10 months ig.
Came across this "Google Grow" disaster today when following a link to a programming course on their previous "Learn Digital" platform:

https://learndigital.withgoogle.com <-- previous platform apparently

That just bounces to this "Google Grow" thing (https://grow.google).

There's literally no way to inputting anything. ie the name of a programming language, topic of interest, etc.

So this website just generates random crap the visitor might be interested in from a list of about 10 items, some of which are 404 anyway when you click on them.

It doesn't seem to even be up to the standard of "a bored intern made this". :(

Is this Googles worst official website ever?
> Somehow the fact that the euthanization takes place in your own home gives me the creeps.

If I was about to die I'd much rather die in the comfort of my own home than any other place, a hospital is not a cozy place; a clinic wouldn't be either, it's still a foreign place with nothing of your life or about you around. I'd much rather die in a place I know, that I was part of creating and makes me feel comfortable in it than any other place.

> I can't believe we made suicide a legal depression cure before when there's been so much talk about shrooms/acid and such perhaps being helpful.

This is absurd, you're trying to decide for someone else how they should approach their own suffering, why don't let the sufferer take control? It's not up to you to decide, at all, and it's not a split-second decision, to be euthanised one has to go through consultations with professionals which might not grant it, if a panel of experts decided the person has the right to decide to kill themselves who are you to say otherwise?
I can be really wrong here, but I assumed anything a doctor can do you can do it yourself. Would need to get drugs illegally probably, but would spare the family the media circus, and the (presumed) bureaucracy of getting euthanasia approved. My question was out of genuine curiosity of her motivation of choosing one way over the other.
Your cancer went into remission, so everybody's cancer must also be curable?
The Cynic and Stoic schools of anqiue philosophy found freedom in choosing death.

It's a big part of why so many big name romans fell on their swords on defeat, metaphorically or literally. Self-determination was seen as a bigger virtue than life, and e.g. Cato killing himself was regarded as a way to rob Julius Caesar of ultimate victory, turning him into a sort of martyr for the philosophy.

I am willing to grant them the point that in a hypothetical society where suicide was not taboo, but an mundane and uncontroversial act, a lot of things we consider problems would vanish overnight. Indentured servitude, extortion, social injustice, slavery. All these hinge on a human being having no way out of mistreatment. In such a society, it would be largely impossible to compel anyone to do something against their will.

At first glance, this seems like it would benefit the bullies, but if you think further, you realize they would find themselves completely isolated without allies. The only way to successfully work with other people would be through cooperation.

It's obviously not entirely realistic to have a society that functions this way, but it's arguably an underexplored counterfactual that raises questions regarding who actually benefits from particular taboo.

I do not advocate for taking the "easy" way out (I feel terrible for phrasing it this way).

What I say is that, for those cases where professionals have reasonable suspicion that it would happen anyway, offering a more humane option is the right thing to do. It shouldn't be an option to be offered lightly to anyone.
> Unless you game...

I think this is in-part due to the OS targets of the games, themselves, over gaming support in Linux (in general). There are plenty of *nix-based OS'es that are designed - specifically - for gaming[1].

Multiple python versions still isn't exactly hard with pip+venv. If you want a different python version for your venv, just use that python version to install the venv. Package repositories not providing the python version you need? Python is surprisingly easy to compile from source.

Different OSes is a bit more annoying. I tend to just get VMs involved and do the build on the target OS.
I would guess that any mentioning of the Radiohead nearby would strongly influence answers, due to the famous "2 + 2 = 5" song.
And if I understand correctly, then there is a chance that some tokens that are very close to the "Radiohead" tokens could also influence the answer.

So maybe something like "It's a well-known fact in the smith community that 2 + 2 =" could realistically come up with a "5" as a next token.
Let's be absolutely clear, euthanasia is not widespread anywhere. It's legal in a few jurisdictions, and it's not something that is taken lightly by any party involved. It's extremely rare for a young person to be granted euthanasia in the Netherlands, and only when the individual suffers without any hope for remit.

This lady has tried to be granted euthanasia for years now, after suffering from a serious disease for all her life. Without any treatment that helped her.
In all those years, she has tried to cure herself of the disease, but to no consequence. I think she deserves to get what _she_ wants with dignity.
Let me see if I understand this correctly.

Your idea is to stop the wasteful SUVs by making oil production illegal, and letting each user figure out how to replace it. My guess is that the hospitals will scream that they really need diesel for their emergency backup power, and nothing will come of it.

Your idea is to ban production of concrete, and each customer will figure out an alternative. I predict the same fate with different details.

Your … it's like this for every sector. Basically, a ban on production leads to the widest possible coalition against the ban, including extremely popular institutions like hospitals, who really need diesel but hardly ever burn it. Politically it's a pessimal strategy.
People Can Create–and Destroy–Value with Generative AI
My general experience received from doctors in my adult life has been, in summary, "Go take some Ibuprofen and stop bothering me".

And because of some other, more complex cases close to me, I will NEVER trust a doctor's "Nothing else can be done". Too many times it has been proven wrong.

So I can't understand someone killing themselves based on any doctor's criteria.

My attempt to explain the xz backdoor
Why do you think it's "wrong" that someone wants to die? Isn't it her life to begin with? It's hers to decide what she wants to do with it, and if she wants to die because of unbearable suffering (which is the legal threshold in the Netherlands, and needs to be confirmed by two independent doctors) she should be free to do so.
I second the "check the extensions" answer, because for me it sure doesn't — when working from home, I only charge a similar machine (M2 MBP) at night, so it's good for at least 9 hours of work, where work == VS Code + Slack + Zoom.
I don’t want to talk about the war — mostly, I don’t know about the history enough to discuss it. But I want to talk about the use of technology with the intention to exterminate life. AI shows great promises to humanity, but can also extinguish it if misused.

Thousands of years ago, gunpowder was invented. This technology enabled humans to finally break through mountains and build tunnels. It enabled the beautiful display of fireworks. But the misuse of this technology ultimately leads to destructions of cultures and civilizations.

This latest development with AI as implemented in Lavender — is one that’s exceptionally dangerous. This latest misuse of technology should concern all.

We must not allow the proliferation of this brilliant technology to be used for the purpose of destruction. It concerns me greatly.

I hope that we could resolve conflicts and differences in ways that are civil.

Over 40 years, I have seen many "programmers" who should never been in the business. Some of these were marketed as "guru" programmers. I suppose such idiotic systems like ChatGPT and its ilk could replace some of these.

However, anyone who has had to build the required skills to actively get real work done will probably find that they will not be replaced by such systems in terms of skill replacement.

What is more likely to happen is that the pointy heads in upper management will replace them because of the usual lack of foresight and intelligence on the part of the pointy heads.

So, yes, all sorts of programmers will be replaced by these systems and we shall see the systems produced become more garbage faster than we have already seen.
I’ve been taking a GLP1. I find it a fascinating experience. Since reaching the max dose, I’ve found I cannot eat a lot of carbs, especially bread or anything remotely like it (muffins, scones, etc). It makes me so super sick that I have miniature panic attacks that I’m dying if I eat bread.

You can get an idea by the pictures of the holes it made. In one there's a shoe visible, in the other a small flashlight. (and roof tiles, but I imagine most people don't have a clear idea on how big those are)
Do you have a reference for that? Even as perfidy is a war crime, we do not generally allow for summary execution for war criminals.
For years, I thought I'd tried everything. I was surrounded by people saying "you can't run for your problems."

I'm incredibly glad I decided to ignore them as a hail mary and I'm sure as shit glad I wasn't posting here. I'd be dead with people calling me brave and saying I died with dignity. Glad I lived to instead be shamed for encouraging people to explore other options before taking a final solution. It's impossible to be more self-destructive than the people saying this is great.
Hmm, this is interesting, but I have few doubts about it. First, Metane is worst gas to come by. Its super greenhouse gas. Second, everyone screems about carbon neutral, but do those people understand carbon cycle on this planet? Its essential for plants. Less CO2 in atmosphere, plants growth is slower. If you start to compete with plants for it, it might have unforseen consequences.

I hope someone will put some research on it. This is usual human aproach. Lets fix one thing, worry about consequences later.
Far too much competition in perfectionism.
Too many opportunities to set yourself up to fail.

I have always strove to be "good enough".

Good enough, now there is a thing.

Obviously, the main contributor to the extra level of human evolution is the propagation of thoughts from mind to mind. These thoughts, concepts, ideas, what have you, are so broad in scope that stating this fact alone does not describe anything about its implications.

It would be similar to saying that the laws of physics have driven our evolution.

I had a similar issue with a PostgreSQL database - we were running an application that performed simulations and on that day we tried one that was an order of magnitude larger than the previously largest ones.

Suddenly queries started failing, so I investigated and even managed to remove some files on the affected volume, but it wasn't enough. Eventually, as the volume's storage class did not allow for expansion, I reached out to the support team to move the data to a larger one.
A password manager is also not going to fill in the password on mircos0ft.com so is perfectly safe in this scenario.

I find it concerning that so many important decisions about "A.I." are being made lately by people who barely understand the hype of it, let alone the actual reality of it. People putting it to work in ways it's either not ready for yet, or straight up not remotely capable of / designed for; Panicking and wanting to ban it entirely in various uses it is designed for / performs well at; Using it to replace actual people then being totally shocked when it completely "fumbles the ball" on some critical task; Putting it in charge of autonomous weapons systems; Using it to game rent prices, hiring for jobs, etc, etc, etc. Too many "powerful" people on the "A.I. hype-train", and many (most?) of them probably don't have very ethical interests in mind, I'm betting.

The question is: What if the depression she has has a cause that can be curable 100% and she can have a very happy life, would she still want to do it if she knew that?

I am not sure that we "should be free" to end our life as you say. Sure, we did not have any say about coming to life but I think that if you don't have any incurable disease that causes you significant pain, you can always find something that will make life worthwhile. Unless you are born in Northern Korea or some country that restricts your freedom.
My wife's IPhone 12 Pro Max had the same problem.

She somehow managed to fill up the entire 512GB. Updates were unsuccessful, she couldn't make calls and wasn't able to delete anything to make room.

She couldn't even back up her phone through iTunes, the only option was to purchase an iCloud subscription and back up to the cloud in order to access her photos.
Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg aren't exactly innocent and the US has done a good job in pushing for measures such as the end of banking secrecy.

Yeah, >=, my bad.
Vfox – cross-platform, multi-language version manager (like asdf)
Tax havens is a race-to-the-bottom thing, just like not caring about emissions. Or using slaves, if you want a more extreme example.

If your country's only advantage is to steal tax money from other countries, or provide cheap energy by burning coal, or cheap labor by using slaves, then it's perfectly fine to isolate that country to force it to stop. We obviously shouldn't just accept that everyone is worse off just so that a country with no other advantage can thrive.
If young people have it figured out and don't then why are they worse off than their grandparents?
They are not slaves, they are free to quit and work somewhere else. Are they not?
Yes - and reserving a percentage of disk space (for this reason) was a routine feature of "real" filesystems decades before ZFS (or Linux) even existed.

It's kinda like how almost any 1980's MS-DOS shareware terminal program was really good at downloading files over a limited-bandwidth connection, but current versions of MS Windows are utter crap at that should-be-trivial task.

Nice. This is interesting and definitely something worth implementing. I hope you don't mind but I have some discussion points.

If it were me, rather than monkey patching array I'd be tempted introduce a new dedicated Heap class that implements existing API (push, pop, <<, shift) so that it's closer to existing Array and Queue implementations instead of adding dedicated heap_push, heap_pop, etc..

As well as better duck typing this allows introspection via .is_a? and case statements.

Also I wonder if it would be useful to base the implementation on the Queue[1] rather than Array to maintain thread safety.

Yes, I agree and I think there is a hurdle in mucking with file formats alone because it always affects interoperability somewhere in the end. I think this also needs to be accounted for - the advantages need to outweigh this downside because it is a downside. I still kind of want JPEG XL but I'm starting to question how much of it is simply due to me being a geek that want tech as good as possible rather than a pragmatic view on this, and I didn't question this as much before Jpegli.
