@shac @dougall ObjC didn't use TBI itself, but we did use the extra pointer bits in several places to improve speed and memory size. There were plenty of bits to steal because back then the address space actually supported by the hardware and the kernel was limited (35 bits, maybe?)

@shac @dougall Swift was in early development at the time and they anticipated using TBI for compact Optionals and other tagged unions.

`else if`, `elsif`, `elif`. Who is brave enough to be the first to use `elf`?

@NanoRaptor this is 100% true and if you don't believe it she'll produce an image of her first grade homework where she wrote down what she wanted to be when she grew up

@foone fun fact, the order of an alphabet is its most stable property, more constant over time than its members, its glyphs, or its pronunciations.

@foone I was lucky, the only thing wrong with mine was a sock in the exhaust fan. Must have run it without the lint trap in place.

@foone it's fine, just remember to reboot your computer 15 times in a row first so you don't get an unfair head start on everyone else.

@mcc A bit of a stretch but I say Return of the Obra Dinn counts.

@foone I have four Logitech G300 new in box in addition to the two in active use, because mice with the specific features I want appear maybe once a decade.

@foone I have this as a perpetually-unfinished side project: enough of a 68K Mac emulator to run most Mac After Dark modules in the modern macOS screensaver.

@ricci Because you can't sit in the fort and sit on the keyboard at the same time, that's why not!

@ricci no but seriously I had to change multiple passwords containing uppercase numbers when smartphones became a thing. If you know that the password contains "shift-6", but not what character that is, then you can't type that password on a phone keyboard.
