Mine was for some quick loan company, with their spectacularly shit terms explained at the end. It was both the first and the last time I've seen these here, so I guess it didn't take off.

I thought these were a joke until I saw a TV ad that actually did it. You'd think it makes the scam hilariously obvious.

I'm sure a grasp of how it works on high level has some value.

It's worth nothing unless you manually write your commands in machine language!

Yeah that's pretty dummb

I'm not sure I'd put it in this category.

Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet..

I'm sure they spent an unreasonable amount of time getting that ugly font look just right.

I wonder how much correlation there is between logo blandification and being owned by giant corporations.

Steam is a game purchase platform and game running environment

You just left out part that it has extensive community features too.

Impact of if statements depends on how you use them. GPUs are massively parallel and sacrifice complexity to fit more parallel compute. Threads aren't fully independent, so regardless of which branch is taken, the thread usually has to wait for both branches.

Pixels that take the then-branch idle while other ones take the else-branch and vice versa. That's precious GPU time wasted doing nothing. Adding more cases make this exponentially worse because the program has to wait for every case.

Can't say if it's slower than your other expensive job, though. Try it out and measure.

I don't think that's possible.
