I recently had to do this for an embedded processor. 1920 bytes to fit some controller code in. It was a ton of fun, to the point where one of my cow-orkers found himself compelled to help out. I think we're at around 20 bytes free right now.
"I managed to save three bytes here."
"My God, you're a sick person. I love it."
Then I went back to my "day job" data mining a couple dozen terabytes of stuff in a database.
I love working with computers.
- rbanffy 15y agoI wish I could do more embedded stuff. I desperately need more free time.
- BoppreH 15y agoThis is called "code golf". You try to get the final program with the minimum of "shots" (bytes, lines, tokens or characters). It's amusingly addictive. And I really hope you misplaced that hyphen in "cow-orkers".
- Uhhrrr 15y agoScott Adams popularized this construction, which suggests that one's co-workers are likely to ork cows (but he didn't originate it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#Coined_phrases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#Coined_phrases). EDIT: As far as I know, the definition of "ork" as a verb is left to the imagination.
