In case someone feels the itch to buy new gaming equipment, but can't because everything is expensive:

Have you considered getting a new monitor?

Prices have dropped like crazy, a basic 27" 2560x1440 180Hz model start out at $120 US.

So, I was just casually checking my Gmail spam box, and i found an email from Google. Of course you would just think that this is some scammer impersonating Google, but everything checks out. It is from the google.com domain, SPF, DKIM and DMARC all pass.

The content of the email is telling me that "because EU" I get to configure whether or not particular Google services are linked.

I wonder how that made it to the spam folder.

Idea: Single use virtual memory.

Don't bother ever reusing the same virtual memory space, you always allocate in a new place, and once you free it is gone.

If you have a true 64 bit virtual memory space then this is surprisingly practical. There is no remotely realistic scenario where you are ever going to run out.

Upsides include a dead simple allocator, and a guarantee that use-after-free will result in a hardware exception. What is not to like?
