Who said anything about memory representations? The language spec (or at least a summary of it) is linked in the article, and it is pretty loose: nearest higher or nearest lower, chosen by the implementation (regardless of which is nearer).

Why would you expect the output to be false? On any typical system around (with 8-byte longs), LONG_MIN has the value of -2^63 which (converted to a IEEE double-precision float) passes the function's checks just fine -- even if the val

The article only listed user and sys time usage, so technically that doesn't matter. That being said, in my experience those timings are not very accurate at this time scale; timing a program which takes just a few tenths to execute ma

Where exactly have you been? It's definitely illegal to cross the street outside designated pedestrian crossings (where available) where I live - and you will get fined if you're impeding traffic by doing so and are seen by the po

Technically, all cars can take 3 car seats (1 in the front, 2 in the back) if they have the mounts for it.

It only calls mbrtowc if domulti is set (and MB_CUR_MAX > 1), i.e. only when given the option -m.

GNU wc is actually fairly fast for what it does. That being said, even with all the extra stuff it's doing, I'd assume it to perform roughly as well as your single-threaded version (when you use a non-multibyte locale to keep the

Even 5% sounds sketchy indeed. However, AVX2 (or Haswell New Instructions) hasn't quite been on every Intel processor this decade, rather only since the 4th generation (late 2013), and only in Core-branded processors.

Why don't you go to work an hour earlier? Now, of course not everybody gets to choose their working hours; but chances are, with the loss of productivity in the early and dark winter mornings, those that don't get to choose get

>As if that weren’t enough, they also stole our primary public spaces in cities: the streets. The irony of this feelgood narrative is that cyclists don't want pedestrians on their ways, either.

Almost everything you listed in your opening post is all but completely absent here in cattle production, including soy, corn, hormones, antibiotics, and I could bet cows here don't descend from the same bulls either. So yes, your litt

As one that has never, ever written a single program in Rust, am I part of a "Rust community"? But I agree, I'm not nice at all, indeed.

On the contrary. I provided the most useful information there is (_T_I_N_Y_), even if I didn't hold your hand, either (although I wasn't really answering anyone's question, but rather commenting on it). But we can't all

This is more than a little silly, and simply shows that the self-proclaimed PHP developer (who is "not surprised that PHP is 'fast'") has little to no idea what is costly in execution time, even in such a tiny example of

The point isn't about putting it closer to the variable name, but consistently to the right of what it applies to. But yes, it is a matter of opinion.

Note that I mentioned the ordinary memcpy (with a single c) there briefly. memccpy should under no circumstances be faster than strcpy for "string multiplying", as it holds no advantages over it in that use.
