Penelope passed away peacefully in my arms tonight. We made sure her last few hours were wonderful. I'll describe more later but it involved going to the park, meeting a toad and dark chocolate mousse.
This is the worst day of my life, she was everything to me. I was her Daddy and she was my bouncy, feisty little girl. She knew she was a rough and tumble princess and she acted accordingly. She was always in charge.
I loved her with all of my heart. Every day she was the first person I saw and the last person I saw at night.
I know I'm going to be posting a lot over the coming days but words will never be able to describe the love I had for her and she for me.

it's been a while since I taught Advanced Compilers and this time I thought I'd start out having the class read a few big-picture papers about the field.
some ideas I had include:
- Reflections on Trusting Trust
- Impact of economics on compiler optimization
- Death of Optimizing Compilers

what else should be on this list?
ok so @yosh suggested "A Catalog of Optimizing Transformations" which of course I should have thought of clear.rice.edu/comp512/Lecture…

#WhatsApp for #Windows lets Python, PHP scripts execute with no warning
Granted, Python needs to be installed on the system prior.
Meta says they will not bother to fix this, despite maintaining a built-in list of potentially dangerous file types (ex: .exe)
@xogium apparently this has been reported before. 
You would think they’d just add these to the list they already use, it’s low hanging fruit. But seems like it’s not worth the effort because it’ll “only” affect a handful of users.
I got my partner - who is non-technical - a Windows laptop for Christmas in 2023. A fancy one with Windows 11, TPM blah blah. Clean install.
It has Defender, Smart App Control enabled etc so I wasn’t concerned about the security.
Anyhoo, just looked at 7 months later and Defender is disabled, a ‘free’ AV called RAV is registered which appears to be a fake Chinese AV, Smart App Control is disabled, her traffic is routed to a Chinese VPN, her browser is Opera GX (a Chinese owned one).
