How does help me use popcnt to find how many bit pairs are used and how many are empty? Edit: whoops, I gotcha. I'll profile this. Edit 2: no I won't profile it, because I don't have the instruction. Damn.

The compiler did use `lea` - I used inline asm for the `BSR` instruction and then did the shift and increment in C, figuring the compiler would be smarter than me.

Not for my particular encoding, as I have "10" to indicate a terminal node and "11" to indicate a non-terminal. Essentially it's a 3-valued encoding of 'empty', 'terminal', 'nonterminal' for a variable number of children.

I never said it was crufty, just that it wasn't successful for me in improving my use-case despite requiring noticeably fewer instructions (not cycles). I am, however, on Athlon 64. That may explain why I found it to be indistinguishable to

they are implemented via some kind of alternate "cruft path" using micro-ops that requires extra decode steps, pipeline flush, etc. that slows the processor down. This is exactly the case. Just a few minutes ago I was implementing a parse

Sure, I get it. For me, vim is surprisingly similar to drinking scotch: I first tried it at age 19, and wasn't pleased with my experience at first. But a wise mentor informed me it took a little getting used to, showed me how to do it right

You can click on NERDTree with a mouse-enabled vim, for the record.

This submission is about startups with a (presumably positive) exit. Despite that restriction, removing the 90% you cite, many employees are still expressing significant disappointed with their resulting compensation.

Roughly 30k is bonuses on top of guaranteed yearly salary, assuming middling performance and current stock prices. You can theoretically double that, or get zero, based on that scale. Though I'm guessing you'd get canned before you get a ze

Entry level engineers at google look at ~30k/yr pretax for middle-of-the-road performance with both stock and cash considered. 40k doesn't sound too far off the mark for an experienced engineer.

No, you're absolutely right that counting by codepoints penalizes some languages. The surrogates I know best are simple, European ones: accents, for example. The normalization twitter uses according to other posters in this thread (the reco

You misunderstand. I'm wondering why they allow only 140 codepoints and not characters . Even in Unicode, 1 codepoint != 1 character.

Excuses are for when you know you've done something wrong and wish to be forgiven. I dont think they've done anything wrong, and more importantly, I doubt many at google think they've done anything wrong. Google desktop is ancient and desig

I find it antagonistic on the OP's part to call this response "hostile": “we know it’s inaccessible, but we are not fixing it”. That's not hostile, it's honest . What more could you ask for than honesty? If they had responded “we know it’s

Each of the pair is a single codepoint; both combine to make one character.

Wait, really? I thought normalization form C was the form where composite characters were always used when possible. Why restrict by the number of codepoints (vs characters) if you're explicitly going to use the form which goes out of its w

I don't think it's possible with the typical git/github plugins out of the box. However, Jenkins lets you run any manner of scripts at different parts of the build. One simple (perhaps too simple) way to implement this would be to run a scr

And when China hacks your server, takes a little bit longer, and inserts a rule that only serves the malware JS to Chinese-allocated IPs, will your monitor systems be checking from mainland China, too? Maybe they don't modify your app's cod

Well, unlike this thread, it only has 2 people spreading misconceptions and inaccuracies about cryptography. And also unlike this thread, they're heavily downvoted. So there's that.

SSL/TLS is a better solution. I find it ridiculous you suggest that browser-based JS is better , frankly. Comodo was breached and the certificates were revoked using the theoretically-sound, tested, and implemented PKI solution. While yo
