1. Compilers weren’t as good at optimising back then. 2. If I’d saved up to buy a C64… exactly how was I supposed to get access to a more powerful machine, and why would I use it as a build farm instead of as my main home computer? 3. Graph

Why do you say “vampires” specifically, as opposed to say “zombies”?

Depends what you mean by “non-computable”. e.g. in theory we could forecast the weather years in advance — it’s just computations based on input data — but in practice we can’t because weather is chaotic and we can’t collect the input data
