RE: A weird bug in the preprocessor of PicoBlaze Simulator in JavaScript

I've tried to speed things up in my PicoBlaze Simulator by adding a checkbox enabling the user to disable updating registers and flags on every step. The "Fibonacci Sequence" example, on my machine, runs in 54 seconds if displaying registers and flags is enabled, and it runs in 27 seconds if they are disabled. That's a significant speed-up, but not as much as 12 times (down to 5 seconds) as Agustin Izaguirre claimed was possible to speed it up by disabling DOM manipulation.

When will it occur to you that no one here gives a rat’s char-broiled arse about any of this?

My mentor is constantly asking me to add something to or edit something in my Bachelor's Thesis, and he is demanding me to do that now. In my opinion, he is demanding way too much. If 4'000 lines of code and 29 pages of documentation, plus the fact that my program is used not only at my university, but also at a college in Argentine, is not enough, then nothing is. This is just a Bachelor Thesis, not a PhD.

Maybe you should quit behaving like a petulant toddler and just do it.

The things he is asking me to do are not easy things. He is asking me to rewrite the documentation from being written in the 1st person to the passive voice. That basically means rewriting every single sentence in the 4th chapter (where I talk about how I programmed the assembler and the emulator).

OK, I graduated with a Bachelor degree in computer engineering.
I got a C from my Bachelor thesis. Which I think is very unfair. Somebody in 2016 on my university wrote a Bachelor thesis about a PicoBlaze disassembler (way easier to make than an assembler and emulator for PicoBlaze) written in C++ (a language that is taught at the university, while I was using JavaScript which I learned by myself), and he got an A. Apparently, in academia, comprehensive documentation is valued more than working software. Actually, it's not even comprehensive documentation, it is the sciency style of the documentation that is being valued in academia.
And my mentor told me that, due to copyright laws, I must not host the documentation on my website, and that I have to wait for the university to upload that documentation on DABAR.
