Not convinced. If anything, C is very detached from the underlying hw (while simultaneously being a high-level assembler)? Hence all the UB.

Even x86 managed to migrate ABI from "everything is on the stack" to err, "no, actually, registers are worth paying for".

There was a funny once where in some internal email thread at ARM Cambridge, a bunch of furriners started debating some aspect of English grammar or whatever.

Someone (offline) asked the opinion of a native. They responded along the lines of "these people learned English by studing it, I'm not getting involved".

Getting vaccinated against covid in the UK is now banned for everyone below 65.

And I wasn't talking about actors, I was talking about script writers.

@clacke
But surely that's where the original idea came from? The push of everything to panel shows, gameshows, ...

@clacke
I mean, fundamentally the whole idea is "how do we stop having to pay script writers?".

Plenty of data leaks. I've had spam calls where they knew my name, and my number isn't listed anywhere.

@clacke
Yeah. We really enjoyed it.
