I assume this relies on recompiling the generated code to compare against the original binary? I wonder how much more efficient this would be if compilers would just produce the same damn binary given the same source code and settings. Honestly blows my mind how people just accept a compiler of all things not being completely deterministic as normal and how reproducible builds of the same source code are considered the holy grail of compilation and not something that should be a given.



Honestly when I tried this a while back it just made me miss a CRT monitor even more. It might be nostalgic for some people, but for me it’s a lot of the bad parts of a CRT but running on an LCD so it also has the good parts of neither.
Damnit now I’m tempted to drag out my junker VGA CRT and put it on my desk.
