Two unnecessary pedantic corrections:

- One of the earlier slides has "Voldermort" with an extra 'r'. It 
should be Voldemort.

- At the end of one of the optimization presentations you said that the 
behaviour of unsigned integer overflow and *underflow* are well defined. 
Although what you meant is clear and that I've been using "underflow" in 
the same meaning until very recently, I now know that underflow is a 
condition only for floating point types.

Copying from Wikipedia, "Arithmetic underflow can occur when the true 
result of a floating point operation is smaller in magnitude (that is, 
closer to zero) than the smallest value representable as a normal 
floating point number in the target datatype."
