@zvhxxl @jimray Well, computers have gotten much faster, cheaper, and more efficient over the years. However, it seems that we, the programmers, have been wasting all that extra computational power on making everything look pretty rather than optimise and make every byte of memory count.

@zvhxxl @jimray Here’s a random interesting fact: Voyager’s onboard computers were constructed from 7400-series transistor-transistor logic circuits, which I have actually used to design my own CPU. Virtually. I designed a fully functional 16-bit CPU inside my computer using circuit design software (and later ported it to #Minecraft). That’s how much faster computers have gotten since 1977.
