I'm not sure why people are saying it would make executables harder to write; it could most easily be done with environment variables as opposed to modifying the signature of `int main()`. Something along the lines of: `GLOBLESS_ARGC=5` means that `GLOBLESS_ARG{0..4}` have the original arguments as supplied by the shell user.

Name"cheap"

Wow, that's really neat! I sometimes hesitate to save something because I think "when would I really come back to this?" But this would probably get me to save more things that I find interesting.

Relevant: Ndless[1], a jailbreak for TI-Nspire calculators (Nspire {CX ,}{CAS,}). I've played around with the source code[2] as well as compiling Rust[3], Nim[4], and Zig[5] to target it. It's all pretty neat, there's a gba emulator for the TI-Nspire floating around somewhere as well.

You could also do `__import__("/abs/path/to/python.py")` (I think, I'm not completely sure on the rules for passing paths to `__import__`)

It looks like there is/was one, but it was abandoned by its developers:

Not necessarily, but I just found it interesting that it wasn't really anything all that crazy - it could in theory be possible to encounter this in a big enough code base that makes heavy use of coroutines and custom exception types.

There already is a compiler from wasm to asm.js, so I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to go from wasm to more typical js.

How is that any more readable than deobfuscated js?

    func1500(func3444(var7, var9), var7)

or more likely:

    gw(kl(s,i),s)

Wow, what a great distraction for students to have during finals season! ;)

v5 is supposedly coming soon; it was supposed to be ready by the end of October[0].

I can't connect to this page, as Firefox is automatically redirecting me to the HTTPS version of the page even though it's not supported. I guess I don't run into this that often given how common HTTPS is, but maybe someone else has this problem with this site? If you are, have you fixed it before? I've tried all of the methods mentioned on this[0] page, and I'm on Firefox 70 on Linux Mint.

Wow, so what does this imply? Is this a coup d'état or just a _request_ for Stallman to cede part of his leadership to more people?

Reminds me of XKCD's Significant comic: https://xkcd.com/882/

> in which case it was evidence that administering male hormones may not produce the effect of natural ones.

The goal of trans hormone therapy is to reverse the effects of the hormones of the person's biological sex, so HRT dosage of e.g. testosterone is usually more than the average cis man would produce. It's possible that that much testosterone was too much for the person you mentioned to handle, especially for his body not being used to it, or that he just got prescribed for more than he should have taken. (He could've also gotten it from the black market, in which case it would almost definitely be an incorrect dosage.)

I mean, society is likely going to collapse within the next 50 years due to destroying the environment. This isn't just a feel-good, virtue-signaling issue, there are actual reasons to want to not harm the environment. Like you say, though, whatever the next bad thing is will also be bad, so it's very hard to actually make a difference.

I think they were making a joke.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but that's not a bug, that's just what happens in some versions of Tetris.

Because it's a pure port of Vim, which is written in C.

Could you elaborate?

Correct, I'll make that more clear.

An Android (Moto Z3), which I chose because I preferred it to an iPhone, and, more recently, because Android is slightly more open-source than iOS.

> But the jailbroken phone comes with iOS and the custom Android home screen doesn't.

Right, I'm saying that it's not as much about the actual features or capabilities of the phones, but just that iPhones are cooler.

See my response to chrisseaton's comment.

Perhaps, but somebody in one of my classes had jailbroken his iPhone and was showing off his fancy home screen, which would have been pretty par for the course for a custom Android home screen, and everybody was oohing and ahhing at how cool it was. Really just anecdotal, but I don't think iPhones are more popular purely because they've considered both options and chosen the one they liked more.

As a student at a middle to upper class high school, I can say that it's definitely not about the actual features of iOS vs Android -- it's just a status symbol. People with iPhones are considered slightly "cooler", or at the very least it's more hip to have an iPhone than an Android. Apple's walled garden contributes to its dominance as well, if all your friends are using FaceTime and iMessage, there's not much that might influence someone to pick an Android phone than economic reasons. Speaking of which, the iPhone vs Android debate among teens really boils down to a thinly veiled version of classism (in my opinion). I heard a classmate respond to a question of what kind of phone she had with, "an iPhone, but it's a 6, so it's pretty much a Droid." (I'm not sure where the 2008 terminology came from, but still.)

I recognized Hebrew in it, especially "todah" (thank you in Hebrew).

Psssh, what is this, the 2000s?
