Microsoft and Google are the same.

Is that why you can't pause them? I just ended up using uB to zap them since they were taking too much resources.

You must construct additional pylons

Your APM is too low. If you click a bunch sometimes the pause button works.

Depends on whether or not you pronounce the H.

Claude?

And take all the fun out of it??

That's not necessarily a good thing.

Didn't you just shift the branch to the calculateDiscount() function?

No, because the point is that the branch version does not touch "total" when the branch is taken, but the non-branch version will always multiply "total" by something.

Not necessarily.

   return 1 - user.isPremiumMember * 0.1;

would also cut it.

It did not and it wouldn't have made any sense. By the time Windows 95 came out 286 systems were obsolete. They could barely run Windows 3.

The boards using this chip typically have 8 MB of PSRAM from what I've seen.

yeah but the PSRAM is going to cause a delay

it's not that bad. At 120MHz, the PSRAM still gets only around 90-100ns per word in the worst case. If you use some SRAM for caching and do bulk transfers, you can get that down quite a bit. Also you can easily overclock the PSRAM to 133MHt (10 decrease in latency) with no problem, maybe even (much?) more.

normal dynamic RAM back then was at 60-70 ns so it's really not that bad. And YT videos show that it also works fine in practice

Title should be "Your C compiler can undo your security checks".

Any compiler can do it -- LLVM definitely does even for languages that aren't C

Definitely not only C compilers. Any optimizing compiler can remove code from your program which you might deem important but that the compiler thinks is irrelevant.

Linux and the software running on it are generally very bad at handling out-of-memory situations.
