holy crap we might have found a drug that can treat prion diseases?? (phase 1 trial so maybe don’t get too excited, but considering how little we still know for certain about the prion protein and how and why it works, reaching the human testing phase is still incredible) https://www.broadinstitute.org/news/clinical-trial-prion-disease-drug-candidate-begins-enrolling-participants

The company in question got back to me and said they had no data on me. I checked back and realized that the original email was a phishing attempt 🥲

I’ve complained about this before, but this is not something you can usefully do from the front-end. If we really want things zeroed, we need compiler functionality that asks the back end to ensure that the data is gone as soon as possible after it’s no longer needed and no later than when the function returns, either by having the register or memory reused, or cleared if there’s no good reuse opportunity
