You're forgetting about orientation (and altitude)? The observed position also varies a bit with air pressure and temperature, but iirc that's less than a few degrees. Anyway, you grab yourself a nice ephemeris library like skyfie

The first thing a 5 MB upx-compressed binary does when executed is uncompress itself to 15~30 MB of memory, right? So what does the on-disk binary size have to do with my L3 cache?

Nah. Trains e.g. sure are heavy, but they're also ridiculously energy efficient when it comes to moving stuff around. And yet they're also typically faster than any land animal. Building roads or tracks doesn't make sense for
