    People landed on the moon with 145000 loc and a MHz cpu. And my old android phone cant run an ionic hello world because of too low ram & slow cpu and only 200 MB storage... Funny how humans waste more and more...

    @hypervtechnics funny shit, I would stab someone for this.

    Also we eat more but express less. So it's all good if we are becoming stronger but selfish

    @hypervtechnics the recent Mars flyby was done on the PS1's CPU.

    Not exactly comparable
    The old systems didn't exactly have to *do* much apart from running control systems, which is super difficult and important but yeah, doesn't really add up to that many LoC. LHC would have a lot more in it (analysis, detectors, data storage and retrieval etc) and a self driving car has a fuckton of extra stuff.

    I mean embedded folks today still worry about kilobytes of ram, you can't stuff much code into that small a space. Modern UI layers and app frameworks and stuff have a whole lot going on in them.

    Matplotlib tho, lel
