copypaste: i want to renounce my passport before the USG goes under because such event, which i think will happen in my lifetime, will make me stateless

mircea_popescu: copypaste argentina is ok. the weather is nice, the food is excellent, it's not terribly expensive and the government is a joke. for your purpose it is excellent, you can get a passport for a few grand nqa.

ben_vulpes: so this gathering nausea in the pit of my stomach when i read through implement_randomize_stack is perhaps an intuitive clue
phf: ben_vulpes: you call that thing like void foo(args) { IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK(foo(args)); ...}, static makes nLoops shared, so the logic is, you set it to some random value between 1 and 21 and then recurse down that many times, "randomizing" the stack

diametric: I see, so no matter what, the Redskins can only lose one more game, putting them at 9 wins, 8 losses, still making the bet resolve to yes. So theres no point in waiting until after the superbowl to resolve it?
