URL shorteners have a purpose, and while they may be misused, there is no reason to say that they are just simply "bad".

There's a difference between 'implementation-defined' and 'undefined'. Question 5 is implementation-defined behaviour, while question 7 is undefined behaviour.

It is, but this quiz is in the context of x86 and x86-64. > Also assume that x86 or x86-64 is the target. In other words, please answer each question in the context of a C compiler whose implementation-defined characteristics include tw

That's not exactly true; what x|0 essentially does, like x<<0, ~~x and x>>0, is cast x to a signed 32-bit integer, which truncates the fractional part and causes wrap-around for values outside of -2147483648..2147483647. (Ma

A slight variation along the same lines is x >>> 0, which differs in that it yields positive values for values between 2^31 and 2^32-1 inclusive, effectively acting as a C cast to uint32_t instead of int32_t. It runs in roughly

Very useful, though it has been posted numerous times before. http://hackerne.ws/item?id=2876612

Yes, that's quite true. Creating even what I would have thought to be a 'simple' example isn't as trivial as I have expected.

I've updated the article to use data that does not (generally) change from year to year: country and area instead of city and population. This should eliminate the semantic issue and make it clearer.

These are very valid points that I did not consider when I was constructing the example data. I've replaced city and population with country and area to reduce confusion.

This is very nice; one addition that would make it even better is support for implicitly defined functions and relationships. If we could graph things like x^2+(y-x^(2/3))^2=1 directly, that'd be awesome.

One good trick that the article could add is getting around NTLM-authenticated HTTP proxies, which are frequently found in schools and workplaces. First, set up cntlm or ntlmaps to run a local HTTP proxy that strips the authentication from
