    When I was in grad school, I had to take an Intel assembler class, and the manual for their x86 instructions was over 1000 pages. It’s insane.

      4 volumes, 5000 pages now. Also distributed in a much more manageable 10 volumes if you so wish.

        I’m not sure if I should feel better that I only had to deal with 1000 pages, or worse about how long ago I went to grad school.
