as someone who's spent time hand writing simd code to speed up low-level functions, the very idea that some rear end in a top hat out there is adding two integers using javascript when it could be done with a single instruction infuriates me to my very core and makes me visibly shake with barely restrained rage

yeah i also get furious when fuel combusts in my engine and most of the energy is wasted through heat and i get some meager amount of rotational force to the drive wheels. it makes me break down in tears crying and making GBS threads myself

To be fair, it does have to parse your code.

why can't you use a ti83 to graph functions like a normal person?

and yes i also hate node-based visual editors for shaders/procedural generation, but in my defense i'm used to encountering them in the context of real-time stuff on fairly low-power hardware. i'm not too keen on wasting some of that 16ms of gpu time on boilerplate generated shader code that the compiler "should" have optimized away

make every variable an int64 just in case the number might one day ever get a bit big

If you like using Linux, as long as you use a simple window manager, things happen in the blink of an eye for web surfing, productivity, etc. I purposely run Bohdi Linux because of this. Even on 2016 5775 i7 with crappy Intel graphics boot is in 5 seconds, and with Firefox with 12 tabs, only using 2.1 gb of memory. Not till the M1 chip in my MacBook Air, did a computer feel revolutionary fast to use for the first time since my Core 2 Duo quad with an SSD running Vista SP2 x64.
