@sir working in asm, the JMP was tightly controlled; each section of code had well defined input, output, & modified register lists. Without that, the it was nearly impossible to comprehend.

Later, I came across code (professionally) where there was an inspired genius who liberally used the GOTO. No one could touch it without breaking. This is the more common usage.

Engineered GOTO is fine. Most developers are hacks and cut people with these sharp knives.

Strangely it went along the lines of "here's variables, here's printf, here's pointers. Now write an allocator/deallocator"

@sir an empty inbox may be a sign of a cluttered mind.

Or someone with lots of spare time and/or OCD.

This opt-in requirement is critical, and the precise thing tech orgs successfully lobbied to remove from the CCPA:

"As a first step, governments must enact laws to ensure companies including Google and Facebook are prevented from making access to their service conditional on individuals “consenting” to the collection, processing or sharing of their personal data for marketing or advertising."

@franciecashman@mastodon.social @dansup even on big screens, 2 column allows more focus on the images, which are the point, aren't they?

My vote is for 2 column.
