If you use a compiled language, you should periodically look at Godbolt and see what your code is doing and what changes to your code will do in the compiled output.

In this case a positively insane way of calculating squares and cubes generates 311 lines of ARM assembler output that will swallow your memory. With even something as simple as -O1 on the command line it's replaced by one or two multiplications respectively. With -fwhole-program it removes the functions entirely and interlaces them into the loop in main().

Know your tools. It makes huge differences!

I've been using coroutines since I first encountered them in the same book that this author found them in. Unlike him I've used them all over the place professionally and in my personal stuff.

There is room for a successful argument that mainstream comic book superheroes have never been heroes and have always been champions of the status quo. I get this argument and can even see its merit. This is not my argument however.

My argument is that once Miller's Dark Knight stuff broke all sales records there has been a constant downward spiral of even this level of "heroism" and that post-Miller mainstream superheroes are today essentially just sociopathic costumed clowns.

A whole lot of stuff. It's hard to nail down a genre because, metal guitars aside, there's so much other stuff in there (ranging from folk to electronica) that the overall soundscape is crazy complicated.
