Why use them over annas archive?

I've been using WeLib since April and had a good experience so far

There is serious abuse of nasm macro-preprocessor. Going to be tough to move away to another assembler.
Where? There's very little code in those lessons
off-topic but why is there a vim swap file in the repo? https://github.com/isene/IMDB/blob/main/.imdb.swp
The first time I ever saw it, the text already looked better than cmd.exe via conhost.

Something wrong with my eyes? Doesn't cmd.exe look smoother in this screenshot?
Ever since Windows gained Terminal and OpenSSH, my usage of Putty has almost entirely ceased except for serial for embedded systems work.
Then I realised Putty ships with a CLI version which I now use in Terminal for accessing serial.

Have they fixed font rendering yet? cmd.exe looks better on my laptop
Not sure if that’s relevant, but when I do micro-benchmarks like that measuring time intervals way smaller than 1 second, I use __rdtsc() compiler intrinsic instead of standard library functions.
On all modern processors, that instruction measures wallclock time with a counter which increments at the base frequency of the CPU unaffected by dynamic frequency scaling.
Apart from the great resolution, that time measuring method has an upside of being very cheap, couple orders of magnitude faster than an OS kernel call.

What do you do on ARM?

Use the right browser (not built/funded by ad tech companies) and all Ads can be blocked in 2025.
Those companies own half the internet and they make sure the right browser is always slower and shittier than theirs
C/C++ got us really far, but greenfield projects are moving to safer languages where they can. Expert low level programmers, armed with all of the available linting tools are still making unfortunate mistakes. At some point we should switch to something better.
Agree. Python isn't it though
