Clang is pretty big -- as a comparison, my Z80 IDE which uses SDCC (Simple Device C Compiler, i.e. no C++) loads about 2 MB of WASM + 2 MB of data and executes a compile/assemble/link cycle in about 0.5 sec for a small program: h

The Apple ][ game "The Prisoner" had many deceptive moments like this -- I think at one point it rearranged the I/J/K/M directional keys. It even simulated a BASIC crash to get you to type in your secret 3 digit cod

I was at Trinity many years ago, and some peeps had a portable spectrometer that they used to measure the trace amounts of plutonium (or maybe its decay products) left in the sand and glass.

That second link about the FB app is hilarious. As an example, there are 3 copies of a 3.6 MB binary file used as part of an optical flow algorithm (likely for 360-degree videos) So it's not just that there's a bit of sloppy (or p
