I see now that the problem was that you pointed it out in a way that made sense to you, but not to the rest of us who lack all that background information. If you had responded in the first place with the explanation you've posted here, it would have been much easier to understand what the issue was. Now that I read this, I get your point, and I also see how the problem started with the GP comment, not yours. But this was not at all clear to me before! and I'm sure not to many readers.

HN has been super impressed and favorable to the feats of demoscene programming for over a decade now, so hopefully there's a lot more of that than this.
