Can you elaborate on why -O3 often generates slower code? I've never heard that before.

It's nice to see some big names focusing on anti-aging research. It seems obvious that anti-aging research is a good idea, but surprisingly few people are actually pursuing it. This video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Then I'll make sure my test subjects continue to practice QWERTY.

Thanks, that could be valuable. Is the data separated by keyboard layout?

You can use a new keyboard layout and still remember QWERTY. It's just like learning a second language (only it takes a lot less time).

You can use [my keyboard layout optimizer]( https://github.com/MTGandP/Typing ) to create your own optimized keyboard. I provide a corpus of programming text you can use, and you can change the weightings to increase the significance of the

The [Kinesis]( http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/ ) Advantage is a cheaper alternative to Maltron that follows the same design pattern. It's the keyboard I use, and it's definitely more comfortable than a typical staggered keyboard, or even a sim

Author of The Keyboard Layout Project here. I'm familiar with Workman; it's a reasonably strong attempt, but I think it has a number of problems and fails to perform as well as Colemak or my own layouts. If you compare Workman and MTGAP 3.1

IIRC, Dvorak has about 500,000 users worldwide.

I'm not trying to design yet another standard. I recommend that people use [Colemak]( http://colemak.com/)—even though it's not as popular as Dvorak right now, it's easier to learn, so I think it has a better chance of overtaking QWERTY in

That's why my keyboard layouts try to optimize for rolls more than any other layout I've seen. The most recent version has a number of very nice rolls, TH, IN, ST, and some other less-frequent digraphs.

Hi, writer of The Keyboard Layout Project here. I'm well aware of the limitations of scoring a layout based on crude heuristics, and I'm trying to collect some good data. Right now I have some data from a few layouts that I've collected usi

The entire purpose of the modern economy is to pay other people to do things so you don't have to do them yourself. Did you build your house from trees that you chopped down yourself? Do you grow all your own food? Do you cut your own hair?

Maybe it's obvious, but I think the observation resembles an NP-complete problem: it's easy to verify that it is true, but finding it is difficult.

You shouldn't even have text at all on the bottom half of the slide. Text on a slideshow presentation should be minimal. The audience should be listening to you, not reading your slides.

A lot of your commit messages don't make any sense. Is there any point at which the program was fully functional but non-obfuscated?

This was a fascinating article. I do have a small correction: bucket sort is more similar to quicksort than merge sort. merge sort bucket sort 1. divide (in half) 1. divide (in bins) 2. sort halves 2. sort bins 3. merge
