Is there a high information density (small font size, little whitespace, thin window borders, no transparency) GNOME theme, ready for everyday use in Ubuntu? Combined with a similar Chrome theme and Firefox theme, it would be awesome.

> being a superset, the ability to seamlessly drop in and out of pure C within the same file is something no other language can do. C++ and Objective C++ can do it just as well. D and Zig have good C ABI integration.

fasm is indeed great. It has many features, it can do all the code size optimizations, it even knows the sizes of variables (e.g. `mov myvar, 5` depends on `myvar db 0` vs `myvar dw 0`). NASM and fasm syntax are quite similar. NASM supports

I do systems programming in i386 (32-bit) assembly language with NASM. For me it doesn't scale beyond a few dozen kilobytes (executable program file size) per program. For others (such as Chris Sawyer) assembly scales much better.

My https://github.com/pts/minilibc686 can do printf-hello-world on i386 in less than 1 KiB. write-hello-world is less than 170 bytes.

Shameless plug: write your program in C, get almost as little size overhead as in the Whirlwind turorial: https://github.com/pts/minilibc686 (libc, compiler, linker, settings)

From the computation point of view, it's possible. PostScript has integer arithmetic operations needed for x86 CPU emulation. It also has mutable byte strings, which are useful as emulated memory.

If you parse a serialized protobuf byte array without having a .proto file, you have no way to dustinguish a byte string field from a nested message field. Thus you have no way to know how deep your parser should go.

Is it possible to decline this update on the UI of an internet-connected Pixel 4a? Mine has already updated, and I'm wondering if I had a chance to say no.

For 32-bit x86 (i386 and i686), I've written a libc and a toolchain to.automate this: https://github.com/pts/minilibc686 . It can use mainstream free C compilers (GCC, Clang, OpenWatcom cc386, TinyCC and PCC) and

I typically turn this off. Many times it's too slow, and many times it hides local filenames, and I do want local filenames.
