Maybe the procedure would fix whatever's wrong with their brains. Like, maybe Trump would slowly regain the ability to form complete sentences. I'm imagining a Flowers for Algernon situation where he wakes up one day, reads his own Wikipedia page, and is briefly ashamed before the non-neural parts of his body crap out.

Yes, please focus on the Global Dryness problem first. I must be wet at all times.

It's not a failure of the web, it's a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It's also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

That's neat, I'd never heard of it before!

It is an open question whether an Angel of some power k can escape forever.

Looks like you're quoting the Proceedings of 11th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics from 2005: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/2958119.2958180

Apparently, it was solved (twice!) the next year.

In late 2006, the original problem was solved when independent proofs appeared, showing that an angel can win. Bowditch proved that a 4-angel (that is, an angel with power k = 4) can win[2] and Máthé[3] and Kloster[4] gave proofs that a 2-angel can win.

Oh my god, enough already! Please give someone else a chance to reply! You're taking up all the internet space.

Yeah, there really should be some expectation of stewardship in exchange for absurd post-Disney copyright durations.

Actually I would like to read that. Might be worth the risk?

You're coming dangerously close to setting Rufus free. I have a feeling you're about to be visited by a time traveler with a dire warning if you keep trying this.

I propose a new, more threatening kind of control flow.

do {
  /* something */
} or else {
  /* you don't want to find out */
}

The renewed focus on reliability is motivated by emerging applications. Imagine a wireless factory robot in a situation where a worker suddenly steps in front of it and the robot needs to make an immediate decision.

This example is a real WTF. I really hope nobody is planning on building safety-critical real-time systems on top of WiFi!
