"A trinket"
You weigh the crystal in your hand. Why would so many die for it? What is so special about it? Just a green trinket. Green like your homeworld. Green like your first love's eyes.

256바이트짜리 DOS 프로그램이 640×400 화면에 황량한 풍경을 그려요. DOSBox 기본 속도로는 다 그리는 데 13분쯤 걸린대요. 풍경은 진동자 값을 이리저리 만지다 거의 우연히 나온 거고, 그 안의 '달'도 우연이래요. 386 시절 명령만 쓰려고 fcomi 는 끝까지 피했고요. 소개하는 이 글이 벌써 그 프로그램보다 커요. #sizecoding #데모씬

Штурм бар’єра 4 КБ: вебсервер у 4 092 байти на асемблері та окрема реалізація на nolibc C
Іван Сварковський розповідає, як умістив HTTP-сервер для роздачі статики у 4 092 байти асемблера MIPS і створив окрему реалізацію на C без libc. У статті — прийоми sizecoding, захист від обходу шляхів через симлінки, пастки ядра Linux та заміри на реальному роутері.

Making my 1KB ray tracer fast broke the byte budget 🙀
Five redundant ; before } saved 3 packed bytes: 1027 → 1024 B.
I tested 1024 ways to reorder the same math, like b[2]*s → s*b[2]. JSCrush saved 1 more byte.
1023 / 1024 B. Watch it render ↓

Had the interview for the professor position today.
I got asked what controllers I've coded for. After listing them I started talking about assembler sizecoding...
...I don't think the interviewer expected that.

Frank and I covered a lot in this, from his Midway work on Psi-Ops, to LittleJS, 13KB games and AI.
The big lesson is to make projects smaller, share along the way, and finish them.
