There's something wrong in the comparison calculation. To begin with, when n is exactly 2^k-1, I would expect all the functions to show k comparisons, including Skarupke's. In the plot, all the curves overlap at 64, 127 and 255 ex

How can a block-based language help students transition from block-based coding to text-based coding?

You might be right. However I don't see anything wrong if I feel a will to destroy something and I resist it, so that no harm comes from my hatred. Hatred by itself is not necessarily something to condemn. Therefore "hate speech&q

You should find another word, then. Because "hate" is still an emotion in my dictionary.

For cursory tasks like reading a news? Tabs or simply clicking on the link is OK. For pages I have to work in, or even copy data from? new window.

Probably, but I still don't know what this answer is!

Question to all commenters who ask for tabs: all modern desktop environments offer powerful window management, which includes navigating between windows of the same application, hiding inactive windows, etc. What's so good about having

Except that arr[...] - value may overflow, and is UB in C. Even removing the UB with something like __builtin_sub_overflow(), if arr[...] is INT_MAX and value is -2, then the difference will have the high bit set! I haven't tried it, b

Isn't this forgetting another important part of programming, that is algorithms? You can have correctly modeled your data, but if you then use bubble sort, your program will suck anyway!

Good advise. How do you usually define different sets of flags (for debugging, for production...) in your Makefile?

Let's be clear: the Porsche Cayenne 2024 is still the deathly oversized SUV it used to be, just a tiny bit less so because they put buttons back in one specific spot!

Amiga used to have the best file-path convention I've ever worked with: drive:dir/file where driver was not a letter like in Windows but rather the drive's label, so you could have Work:Pictures/HN.jpg. To go up to the p

The title is misleading. It has nothing to do with boiling, but rather with temperature. Where I live, boiling water is well below 90°C and does not ruin green tea.

Only if you're sure you'll never have to type it when the keyboard layout is set to something different from what you're used to. Good luck remembering where these special chars are...

You seem to misunderstand the use of \ in LaTeX. It's not a separator, it's used to introduce a keyword. Everything stems from the need to tell apart the text from the non-textual information, or structure. For example you don&#x2

Honestly, I don't see any difference in difficulty between LaTeX's syntax and Asciimath's one. The former has more backslashes and curly braces where the latter uses spaces and parens. I personally find LaTeX easier to read b

I don't disagree, but the compiler could insert it automatically when you need it. In those rare cases where e.g. you want to use a function called printf() that's not the standard printf(), you explicitly opt out of the default v

C is already much better, but we still have some boilerplate. Currently this is the bare minimum: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello world\n"); return 0; } But I wish we could get rid of that &q

You don't need to prove anything to define sin.

That would only prove that, given a triangle abc, you can construct another, different triangle for which the PT holds, not that the PT is valid for the given triangle.

TIL that Prolog has loops. I can't imagine how you would use them, though.
