Like I said, I reverted the changes and the problem still occurs.
I know better than not to verify that.

I sympathise. Many years ago I worked on a desktop financial calculator which had 32K of EPROM for all the code and 16K of battery backed RAM for everything else, all the persistent storage and workspace, display buffer, the lot, and the number of times we had late nights reworking the code to save a few bytes here and there so it would fit in the EPROM, or shaving the stack usage so our variables survived ... a very character building time.

Rust.
(I'm sorry I felt this had to be done)

I do not know anything about rust, but does rust have infinite stack ?
|
|

Please explain why RUST would have solved this problem. Honest and curious question.
stack issues are common in embedded systems, no matter what development language you choose.

Saw this absolutely stupid wording on my start screen today: "Matriculate your shopping over to [our browser] to help ensure low prices..."
Evidently MS, in their infinite stupidity, has re-enabled ads on the start screen even though I turned them off earlier. Looking into this more: Yes, yes they did. (Evidently on one of their 'minor point' updates.)
And the person who thinks 'matriculate' is a catchy word to entice people with should be fired, and not hired for anything more than cleaning toilets. 
Maybe this would keep them away from a keyboard: Chinese finger torture[^]

There's always a possibility that there's a LLM behind this. It appears to be a common thing now, to write marketing copy from a prompt.

|
|
|
|
If so, the person behind that decision should be fired, and not hired for anything more than cleaning toilets.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not even sure I'd hire someone that lazy to clean toilets. I'd be afraid they wouldn't use any cleaners.

Make them lick it clean, then.

I see a lot of clean bathrooms at MS just saying

Don't see why - Shift '8' is a relatively easy keystroke!

That's a '(' on a Norwegian keyboard.

I had to look up that word and undoubtedly many non-English-as-first-language speakers with me (and probably some native English speakers as well) 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, obviously the person who wrote the ad doesn't.

I consider my vocabulary to be pretty good. That usage didn't match my expectation, so I looked it up. Their usage is quite a stretch. The word is used so infrequently that most people won't be familiar with it, and will just be confused.

I would hope that entry standards to college or university are these days still sufficiently high that anyone so admitted would know the meaning, given that matriculation is what has just happened to them!🙄
|
|

|

I never matriculated though, I have myself "ingeschreven"! 
I'd sign up, join, enlist, enroll, start or sign up for college.
Guess I'm not articulate enough to matriculate

So that's where the guy who came up with "reticulating splines" ended up...

Reticulated refers to complex net-like color pattern, cool adjective for python ads.

The most dangerous thing in the world isn't stupidity. It's just a teeny bit a knowledge that erroneously gives someone enough false assurance that they know everything. I can say this despite the fact I've never matriculated.
