Cool kids don't allow telemetry. I think that any software whose userbase isn't totally oblivious will have severe selection effects if you use data obtained by spying.

Without curring and closures it certainly will be more painful! I might write the equivalent signature, D f(A, B, C) and then reorganize things to just pass f around, or make a struct if you really want to bake in your first function

Fair enough. I think it qualifies as "essential complexity" and in my limited experience it's not a common use case and so doesn't make sense to optimize for. In fact in my academic and professional career most of the hi

Ambiguous parse. I don't mean that all function types are fancy, I mean that some are fancy (when you have a function pointers in the arguments or return value, or several layers of indirection), and that those which are fancy are help

What about just committing the symbols that are actually referenced in the code? I be most almost all of those registers are never mentioned elsewhere and and could be culled with an appropriate dead-code elimination step (per release).

You could probably vibe-code one appropriate to your setup in about ten minutes. It's a very simple application. Otherwise use the one from your DE. KDE's isn't bad.

I'd like to note that nerve endings just send signal to the brain, where the experience of pain results from the processing of that signal. A nerve is neither necessary nor sufficient, e.g. phantom limb pain or heartbreak.

You may be pleased to know that you can do this via the GDS system for meal preference when booking flights by using the code CLML ("celebration cake meal") if your travel agent is cool.

Alas I think there's an asymmetry in the usefulness of that information. Maybe knowing you could be optimally evil can help fight that evil, but it's a far cry from telling you what you could do about it.

I think GP meant uint, but by my book int should have a sign bit, so that grampa isn't born in the future.

I see the RISC-V Sail repo mentions compiling to SystemVerilog. That would be amazing, if you could specify instruction semantics and have that transformed all the way into silicon.
