Safe to say this is way out of technical capabilities of the average (power) user; but kudos for documenting the process nevertheless! Maybe someone in a local hackerspace would help out...

Issues I get (and practice), but PRs? Are you requesting a PR from yourself, approving the PR when you have meditated about it for a day? :)

Okay, but I'm still confused as to why would you compare it to AVR frequency; was that just a random comparison ("this car goes so slow you could outrun it") or would the frequency of a MCU clock being higher than the bandwid

I'm getting serious "Building Dropbox is trivial with with curlftpfs, SVN and CVS"[0] vibes from this thread. Sure, all it provides is already technically possible with what exists - but what if the 10% they shave off turns o

Very nice write-up! I'm surprised it was this simple (which is a compliment!), and I learned about "Whimsy pieces" :)

Hard disagree, a great deal of procedural art is pleasing and artistically worthwhile even if you don't consider the method it came to be - although usually it's fairly apparent. I think I'd invoke Sturgeon's law instead

What you're attacking is IMHO just a part of a side-note of the actual argument; sure, that's a bad way to refactor the function. But even with an appropriate refactor, the codebase as a (fragmented) whole remains less readable an

The near-invisibility of the attack to a layman's (human) eye. I would think this kind of attack would take a non-negligible time to discover, unlike simply replacing a sign which is obvious to any random passerby.
