It's not you who's confused, it's that this part of the process is not described. We only have some hints, here: > If you called rope.offset_to_point(7234), the Rope would traverse its SumTree to find the Chunk that contai

As I understand it, they do exactly what you say. TFA is about optimizing the last chunk's loop.

Why? If you are hashing names, for example, or keywords, they can begin at whatever position inside the buffer. The case where you allocate a buffer, populate it with random contents and hash the whole of it is an artificial setup for bench

While the benefit of processing chunks of 8 bytes is obvious, what's the purpose of grouping those into macrogroups of 4? Does it trigger any implicit parallelism I failed to spot? Or is it just to end this phase with the 4 h[] having

Don't take me wrong, I'm not in the denial camp, quite the opposite in fact. But I cringe when I read a non sequitur like this: > “If you plot global temperatures against the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, they both fa

Contrary to the original one, this editor doesn't automatically capitalize keywords. It was a sort of syntax highlighting that I haven't seen on contemporary editors and IDEs. Does anybody know of a plugin to do that for common ed

Not only jumps. The Motorola 68000 has a relative addressing mode where any sufficiently near address can be expressed as PC+offset. Offset is 16 bits, thus covering a local range of ±32kB, with the additional benefit of being position-inde

Beware that the author is comparing an additional capacity (of BYD, estimated as 2.4M/yr) against a production (of Tesla, estimated as 1.8M/yr, while the capacity is nearly 3M/yr). Nitpicking, I know, but numbers are mean

These examples are unambiguous. Try with something more spicy like return (A)*(B); which depends on A being a type or a variable.

It would be an interesting experiment. You would have to give up many concepts that have local relevance, while gaining better understanding with non-local interlocutors. I think the balance depends on how many of your daily interactions ha

I don'tknow why we are having this discussion. The question was whether I (but I extrapolate to mean every programmer should) prove that not a single line can overflow, and the answer is yes, usually by proving that some variables are

Please note that you should ensure that overflow doesn't happen, not detect when it happens. Once you let it happen, it's undefined behavior. But you don't need to check each operation to ensure that none of them overflow. If

Sorry, how is this different from what I said? The condition x>y, with x the subsidy and y the expense, is exactly what I intended with "subsidy they get [is] higher than its real cost".

Then why on earth did they accept to sell me the cheaper fare?

by teo_zero 2y ago
In the A->B->C example, probably the subsidy they get for B->C is so much higher than its real cost that they can use such "profit" to finance part of the first leg. If you skip the final leg, you risk spoiling their sche

Houses are perhaps the exception, because hotel rooms, b&b's, cars, and many other rentals that are sold as services don't benefit from the same protection. I'd postulate it's because a house is not considered replac

Ideally, prices should be consistent with effective costs. Practically, I would be content if prices of any single leg couldn't be negative. If leg A costs a and leg B costs b, the cost of A+B can be lower than a+b (you can offer bun
