Most decompilers do not strive for recompilability. [1] I believe there are (or were) some academic projects that aimed for recompilation as a core feature, but it is a hard problem.

On the commercial side, IDA / HexRays [2] is very strong for C-like decompilation. If you're looking at Go, Rust, or even C++ it is going to be a little bit more messy. As other commenters have said, you'll work function-by-function and it is expensive, though the free version does have decompilation (F5) for x86 and x64 (IIRC).

Binary Ninja [3] (no affiliation) is the coolest IMO, they have multiple intermediate representations they lift the assembly through. So you get like assembly -> low level IL -> medium level IL -> high level IL. There are also SSA forms (static single assignment) that can aid in programmatic analyses. The high level IL is very readable but makes no effort to be compilable as a programming language. That being said, Binary Ninja has implemented different "views" on the HLIL so you can show it as pseudo-C, Rust, etc. There is a free online version and the commercial version is cheaper than IDA but still expensive. Good Python API, good UI.

Ghidra [4] is the RE framework released by NSA. It is free and open source. It supports a ton of niche architectures. This is what most people use. I think the UI is awful, personally. It has a decompiler, the results are OK. They have an intermediate representation (P-Code) and plugins are in Java (since it is written in Java). I haven't worked much with it.

Most online decompilations you see for old games are likely using Ghidra, some might be using IDA. This is largely a manual process of doing a function at a time and building up the mental map of the program and how things interact.

Also worth mentioning are lifters. There were a few projects that aimed to lift assembly to LLVM IR (compiler framework's intermediate representation), with the idea being that then all your analyses could be written over LLVM IR as a lingua franca. Since it is in LLVM IR, it would be also recompilable and retargetable. [5][6]

In my view, the root cause of the bizarreness is that medical care is one of a few enterprises that are inherently social in nature, and is therefore a prima facie exception to the common wisdom that free markets create the most positive outcomes for the largest number of people. Because in the US we are taught from a young age that private sector capitalism is "all there is", we end up tying ourselves into knots trying to solve medical care using the wrong toolset.

Today, I’m making a commitment: We’re getting back to Starbucks. We’re refocusing on what has always set Starbucks apart — a welcoming coffeehouse where people gather, and where we serve the finest coffee, handcrafted by our skilled baristas. This is our enduring identity. We will innovate from here.

... 3. Reestablishing Starbucks as the community coffeehouse: We’re committed to elevating the in-store experience — ensuring our spaces reflect the sights, smells and sounds that define Starbucks. Our stores will be inviting places to linger, with comfortable seating, thoughtful design and a clear distinction between “to-go” and “for-here” service.

The Americans knew that NATO expansion into Ukraine could provoke Russian intervention, and they did it anyway.[0]

Except they didn't.

The footnote you cite describes Burns's concern, but not what actually happened:
NATO rejected Ukraine's membership appliction in 2008, and Ukraine itself formally disclaimed aspirations of joining NATO in 2010, stating that Ukraine would remain a "European, non-aligned state."

And there the situation sat until 2014, when Russia invaded anyway, making any objections it might have had to Ukraine joining NATO instantly and forever moot.

This idea that the West was aggressively dragging Ukraine into NATO is just a soundbite you heard somewhere, but has no connection to reality.
This comment completely misunderstands why Apple software is important.

But it’s highly relevant to the vast majority of iPhone users in the world.
> I will keep my X months of food, water, and warm shelter even it makes me a "target"

As you should. For all of the things that can happen between normal life and full societal collapse. The point is, X months of anything is useless in that last case. The only precedented way of evading death or poverty in the wake of societal collapse is to get out.

mymcat.ai | data-driven software engineer for medical education startup (remote)| remote | https://mymcat.ai

MyMCAT.ai is a machine learning educational technology company that seeks to build a better class of doctors. We’ve built a unique, gamified intelligent tutoring system, essentially a video game for learning the MCAT. Our platform is an intelligent tutoring system which diagnoses student weaknesses, assigns them content and videos in fun games, and then uses AI to tutor them on topics they struggle with.

However, what we REALLY need is a software engineer who's good with data.

It's built like a sensor network: from the beginning to the end, every interaction with our website is tracked and used to update the model's understanding of student knowledge. Every interaction on our platform is a data point – highlights, answer changes, even the coins they earn. This gives us unprecedented insight into how top performers master complex material. We're capturing the real-time cognitive processes of the highest achievers, not just their scores. We are leveraging insights from behavioral economics to optimize learning through a proprietary coin system – what students prioritize, and how they respond to incentives. For example, we learned that higher-performing students on MCAT CARs reading passages actually highlight less rather than more, turning theory of excellent test-taking into data-driven insights.

Please apply by sending a resume and a creative work — basically anything unrelated to work where you had to exercise creativity (art, creative writing, music) — to kalypso@mymcat.ai.

WE NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY GOOD AT DATA AND GOOD-ISH AT SOFTWARE DESIGN

However, I think systems like Alabama that abuse prisoners to output widgets for corporations should be dealt with by the Feds as well. It's clearly cruel and unusual punishment.

> saudade as a sort of deep longing to be back with a loved one in person

Brazilian here. Not only a person, it can be a place, a thing, a scent, a moment and so on. It's kind of a nostalgia, but it doesn't need to be exactly related to a distant time. For example, if you are traveling you can feel saudade of your home the moment in the first day. You may also feel saudade when you listen to a song that you used to listen in a good moment of your life.

Nowadays everyone knows that it's a word that only exists in Portuguese (and in Galician, which is really close to Portuguese), but it was really shocking for me and other people that almost no other language has a similar word. Perhaps it is one of the most used words for describing a feeling here, it's like not having a word for "love", "anger" or "envy".

Other unique thing in Portuguese is that we have two verbs for the verb "to be": "ser" and "estar". "Ser" is when something always "is" and "estar" is for something that "is" at this moment. For example: if you translate "she is beautiful" as "ser" you expect that she is beautiful everyday, in all situations, while if you translate as "estar" is because she is looking good at this moment (perhaps she is wearing a nice dress, or recently has her hair cut, etc). Only having this in Portuguese was also shocking to me, as that distinction is natural for us.
What is this journalist's name? I couldn't find any information on this, but I don't have much to go on - Dagens Nyheter being a newspaper means "Dagens Nyheter murder" surfaces a lot of results of the newspaper reporting on murders.
The exec gets "credit" for the project, so same promo culture issue. They just need to show increased engagement numbers for like one quarter and they can add it to their end of year performance packet. The fact that the project gets cancelled is either 1) another "win" because they're "making hard choices" and they can obviously justify why it should be cancelled, or 2) someone else's problem.

Also, another note, these sorts of big swing and misses are actually still identified as a positive, even when looked at retroactively. They're "big bets" that could pay off huge if they hit. Similar to VC culture, Meta is probably fine with 99 misses if 1 big bet hits. If they increase engagement even 1%, they're raking in billions and it is worth it.
That's kinda the trouble with fighting these memes, it's legal to own guns, it's legal to hang out with your buddies and shoot guns and talk about overthrowing the government, it's legal to be friends with the sheriff, it's legal for the sheriff to be a white supremacist...

My impression, from seeing some of these "great ideas," coming from the modern Tech industry, is that there really are no adults in the room; including the funders.

They are often things that seem like they might appeal to folks that have never really spent much time, with their sleeves rolled up, actually delivering a product, then supporting it, after it's out there.
