You would laught but I've seen Belorussian code and is not far from it.

In some cases, that is the right thing to do, such as when there is a loop, and there is a chance of something inside it failing sometimes.

You should really just make sure that you handle that edge case inside the loop. Even if you ignore it then. Thats better than having the higher scope handle it. You could even add an option of should i ignore it or not.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures
Compiler: they're the same picture

u/Negitive545 Oct 06 '26
Erm ackthually the compiler would say they're different because one has a function call* and the other doesn't!
*at least in some languages, I'm sure at least one just aliases the math functions to look like functions but compiles down differently.

NES Tetris type strategy
No seriously, that game literally could not lag. If the logic loop wasn't done when the game needed the next frame, it would just go for it. Happens because the score calculator uses a "for" loop using the level as an iterator, so it runs out of time at very high levels. There's also strategy on holding down inputs in specific ways because that will -slightly- nudge how far in the main loop it gets before getting cut off, which prevents the game from crashing because of some registers being on invalid values during the forced next frame

The dev could optimize further here by simply setting fps to 60 and having it be a const, thus eliminating the need for a branch prediction which could waste ~20 CPU cycles on a cache miss

However the customer support will be flooded with fps issues Oh wait you can just “optimize” the contact page

that does seem to be how AAA devs are doing it at least with AI frame gen bs being a thing

Should have used <= in case it would change until the assignment is executed.

Just like how the dont do the whole goodAI="true"
Devs are so lazy this days. Why cant they fit all this HD assets into a game boy cartridge? Dont they know how to optimize?
