If an employer mandates it, then the employer is liable for anything bad that happens, the employers don't have immunity like the vaccine manufacturers. This of course assumes that there is rule of law.

You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.

This isn't true if your language does tail-call optimization[0].

> I consider it to be a security risk.

Again, non-issue if your language handles recursion properly (and in some languages like Haskell, "blowing the stack" is not a thing that happens).

I believe he's more concerned about issues where tail-calls aren't possible or attractive.

It depends on the language. Many good languages are designed to handle recursion safely.

For some, it’s practically the only way to loop.

Looks like you learned something new. You now also have a guage to measure the sophistication of a programming language. Ask if it supports tail call optimization and move on if the answer is no.

I actually use a joystick for shortcuts. I have a few commands triggered by certain joystick sequences, such as Right-Down-Diagonal-Button deletes the remainder of the line to the right the cursor. This is accompanied by a sound effect.

Aren't all swords double-edged? I would think that a single-edged sword would simply be a knife. Or an axe.

Sabers? Katanas?

Also falchions, scimitars, sabres, cutlasses, and falcatas. Additionally, I have some double edged knives.

For sabres, I'd say "it depends". A non-trivial fraction will have a portion of the back sharpened (about a quarter to a third).

But, yes, there are more definitely single-edged swords. Add falchion to the list (or a langmesser, although that literally means "long knife").

I guess it is genuinely hard to draw a non-fuzzy line between "knife" and "sword"...

Personally I think Worf would be a much better choice as host.

Data as host would also be intriguing.

I'll just leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmVwCcUQRjU

On second thought, I think The Price Is Right would be a better fit for Data, replacing Bob Barker.

I'm hoping it will be 'user ready' by the time the M5 multitronic Macbook comes out. That will be the ultimate computer.

Until the M7 ... or M9 ... or some not-so-power-savvy-but-beast of a Ryzen shows up ... or ....

Direct anal interface to Apple HQ. Can't wait.
