use the popcnt instruction or the popcnt intrinsic function. It counts how many bits are set to 1, you’re looking for 0. You can also cast it into a uint64_t integer and do an equality test. There might be a way to use fused multiply add. A

Oh there’s this great thing called files. You put your config in there and then you can copy them anywhere, even between AWS accounts. They’re even cloud agnostic so when you move to GCP they still work. Files work great with fucking shell

it’s market preference. No sane company caters their marketing to people who aren’t buying. For instance Nike customers like social justice marketing, many of their non-customers find the tactics abhorrent. Customers of Wikipedia like infor

If you bought hardware with what you pay for AWS RDS you could run your entire DB in RAM. Hell you could probably put the data in memory on a GPU. Also, this is generally why you run financials overnight. If your hardware is serving transac

Donations are the worst idea ever. They are hard to solicit and then when you do get one people have incredibly unreasonable expectations. How many people complain about non-profit execs making $200k but will happily buy nike's made by

It isn’t. I have the same overhead running my server as I do a VM. What I don’t get is a $3000 bill for $100 worth of server. You can generally buy whatever you are renting from AWS for 1 to 3 months of an AWS bill. The only thing I don’t g

Lloyds et al wants to do business. They are super easy to deal with. Far easier to talk to someone at Lloyds than any major tech company. Only Google would be audacious enough not to let someone spending $100k / month not talk to a hum

To limit your downside. What AirBnB likely has is a high deductible policy. AirBNB pays for minor damages, but if the world goes on a AirBnB party rental spree Lloyds pays.

umm... this is kind of the purpose of banks... get car now, enjoy car now, pay 3%, inflation is 5%. If you buy the car cash you pay more, and get it later. Lets take a C8 Stringray @ $100K, if you buy it today, it will cost $107K over 5 yea

For years I didn’t manage it (I’m 40 and have had my suspicions since I was 13), ADHD is to me a huge boon for programmers. I’d basically come into work late and outsource many of life’s responsibilities. And drink A LOT of coffee. It’s was

In 2002 it definitely should have been an integer. In 2021 I’d recommend just turning off the IPv6 allocation or deleting it from DNS like this site does.

If you are interested in this sort of thing I’d highly suggest reading The Spectacle of Society by Guy Debord. Or just read the first paragraph which summarizes the book in its entirety: The spectacle is not a collection of images but a soc

Exactly. Is it broken? Yes. Am I going to buy a GPU or a wrench to crack a password? Most definitely a wrench. I honestly do think if the data only has to be protected for a day, just use RC4 (or something similar). It’s pretty obvious the

When I have the misfortune of reading a Monbiot article, I like to brighten my day by going and reading a Conrad Black article which usually informs me of a part of history I didn’t know, or even better, a word I didn’t know.
