Sure, but in the scenario you describe, (count-1)*(count-2) also overflows, and that's why the generated code already to 64 bits for the multiply. (See my cousin comment to this one.)

I feel like you're probably right, but I can't figure out the exact reason. The multiplication of (n-1)(n-2) already expands to 64 bits. It has to: Even when the loop accumulator doesn't overflow when counting up to n(n-1)&#

A small correction: the sigma summation should go to n-1, not n. It's weird that LLVM computes n(n-1)/2 in such a convoluted way, namely: (n-1)(n-2)/2 + n - 1

I agree that they write a lot of normal headlines, like most of the ones you list. I take issue with the last one (and others like it) because of its intentional coyness in an attempt to get you to click through. I've been seeing this

Arguably: because if customers keep movies past the due date, then it's not just that the video store can't rent it to someone else. It's also that the reputation of the video store will worsen, since other customers will

Thank you. Blaming the API is like saying there's a problem with your gas pedal after you blew a head gasket.

That's not required. If the telcos implement STIR/SHAKEN as it's been described, then a "swat" call can later (by investigators) be traced back to a human being who can be prosecuted and jailed. That will serve as

I guess you mean "room-temperature superconductors"; if you don't, I submit you and your laptop can come out of the walk-in freezer now. It'll still work. ;)

I was really confused by your second paragraph until I did some Googling. You're referring to Syntex, which developed an early contraceptive pill. And the chemical was derived from a naturally occurring one found in yams. Thanks for

Great game. Small bit of feedback: I'm having trouble distinguishing the + and ÷ symbols (on an iPhone SE 2nd gen.). You might consider making them clearer.

FWIW, this is also how Metal and OpenGL work on macOS. It's hard work, for sure, but it's also a pretty common pattern.

Nice. I don't even know Morse code, but simply pretending to code in some letters (saying "dit" and "dah" in my head) worked.

As someone who used to work there, I can attest that this description applies to all of Apple's software projects under Craig Federighi.
