I can't find it now (so it may be an apocryphal story), but an Australian man went to one of these places, didn't find it and decided to set up shop. It was already on the map, so he figured that it might as well actually exist.

My bad, but still worth mentioning the generalised case: int mask = -(arr[step+begin] < value); int value = (val0 & mask)|(val1 & ~mask);

Pretty much (at least as far as I understand it). There's probably something at the instruction level which allows the constant ternary expressions to be non-branching.
430.
by yarg 3y ago
My point was, anywhere there's a hidden 'if' can be branching. If there's no calculation being done, it'll simplify. value = (test) ? const0 : const1; But if calculations are being done, it won't.

You have to do some really weird shit if you want generalised branchless ternary statements. begin += (arr[step+begin] < value)?step:0; Something like: int mask = ((arr[step + begin] - value) >> 31); //D

Any thoughts on mesh shaders? From what I've seen (as a non-graphics programmer), the paradigm seems closer to what I'm used to. Though I'm guessing that limited hardware support will hamper adoption.

What they actually want is monopoly protections in a legislative regime that is ostensibly anti-monopoly. So they pretty much have to lie.
