it's fun to golf, but how big are pages these days, anyway?

(and if you're using a language with a stack, your executable probably ultimately loads as at least two pages: r/o and r/w)

16kB on a Mac, so that was probably what they were running into. You effectively can’t make a program whose code occupies less than 16kB.
