Most CPU's can emulate the second stack quite easily using index registers/indirect addressing - including x86, and even Z80
Given that indirect addressing is used in relocatable code for linux/x86 I reckon it can support it well enough.
So do you want to be a cog or a termite?

I'd rather be a termite (artisan) than a cog (excessively managed code monkey).
As a termite I don't need any morale boosting management tricks (just nice management which I have here) because I generate my own morale from the way I tackle projects - thankfully I have that freedom.
I could not/will not be a cog.
Software engineering techniques help me as an termite, but I will not let them reduce me to a cog in someone elses management scheme.
I used to run an ISP (a small one) and was trying to track down some particular spammer idiot from the U.S. I forget why this one was so important, but I learned that it can be hard to track down a user based on IP address and date/time without also having a warrant.
I had a good chat with my brotehr-in-law last night; he designs deisel fuel injectors.
He was saying how lots of bio replacements for diesel (rape seed oil, chip-shop-oil, madarin-peel oil, etc) are very corrisive and damage the engine - and in fact can only dilute regular diesel at 5% before too much corrosion occurs.
He also commented on why diesel engines are capable of higher mileage before they wear out - they have to be built stronger because of the higher compression ratios (compared to petrol), and so naturally last longer.
But null means "no data" it is not some special data value.
If you don't want nulls, say "not null" in the column definition, but it has been a source of greif to me that I couldn't index on a field just because I didn't have a value in every case.

Don't sell your stock yet, use your influence as a shareholder first.
Then sell your stock.

"Only morally and socially acceptable speech should be fully allowed to be spoken freely, hateful and harmful speech should be restricted fully"
So if I find what you said to be socially unacceptable and immoral (as I do) will you stop saying it?

uniqueness of what? Data!
But null means "no data" it is not some special data value.
