This will be a problem when trying this on Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/
systems. Currently the only CPU with this implemented is Arm's Morello prototype.
Pointers are replaced by 128-bit capabilities containing what operations are valid, a 64-bit base address and a size. These capabilities are unforgeable, so trying to play with "unused" parts of 64-bit pointers simply won't work.
FreeBSD & Gnome are running on hardware after minor source-code changes, along with a significant proportion of FreeBSD ports collection.
This would seem to have some similarities with Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI). The project has matured to the point of a complete FreeBSD stack with nearly all packages building. ARM are going to release the experimental Morello system later this year.
I used everolimus, which works the same way as sirolomus, for a few years. Like a fair proportion of people taking this class of drug, I developed severe proteiuria. Large protein molecules making their way through the kidney are considered likely to cause kidney damage.
is it practical to use fully-qualified domain-names everywhere, which means no search path or ndots entries are needed.
it can be interesting looking in nameserver logs for hosts making successive queries for variations of FQDNs based on their search paths, and/or A vs AAAA lookups.
They only directly control one lever in the economy, interest rates augmented by QE-purchase of company bonds in Europe & US.
In retrospect, they've been caught in a downward spiral of interest rates because politicians have been unable to add pro-growth policies.
Unfortunately the "wealth effect" of shares in the US, even after Trump's unaffordable tax-cuts, has been channelled towards shareholders (via dividends & buybacks) rather than wage increases or capital investment.
Something's wrong when companies can't find worthwhile ways to spend money investing in their own future, but instead direct profits and BORROWINGS into share buy-backs.
I do suspect one of the factors encouraging buybacks is that executive remuneration is often based on the share price. I've tried searching but haven't found anything suggesting executive remuneration excluding the effects of buybacks on share prices.

As well as ARM, Microsoft is interested: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/portmeirion...
