    Wow. I used my own stack switch routine for several years now and didn't realize it could be improved until I read this thread. Thank you very much. This is my old naive version: h…

    Thanks, Gopal. I didn't do much, just maintained it on life support. Recently some good contributors arrived: Jakob and Tom. Let's hope this really revives the project.

    The usual varint is called varint-SU in the Stepanov's paper. The varint-PU is just like what you call FLIT64, at least I don't see any difference.

    It seems the algorithm is not very new as it looks pretty much like the one named varint-PU in the following paper: http://stepanovpapers.com/CIKM_2011.pdf

    At first I wanted to make an in-memory database. But I disliked libevent, libev and everything else I saw when I started it. Perhaps I would be more or less happy with libuv, but I…

    Sorry, I cannot see this as expressing any sort of disagreement. I perhaps can learn how to play piano. If we are talking about some pieces for 6 y.o. kids. Can I learn how to play…

    I think Russia never was a classic patriarchal society. At the family level matriarchs always played as important and prominent role as patriarchs. Yes, in the past the official po…

    The article totally misses the point. It just picks a single area and wonders why in this particular area women and men are more equal in Russia than in the West. By asking such a …

    It was not the first. It was after Allan Chumak made it to the TV. And after lots of other absurdity like teachings of Helena Roerich was thrown in to blow Soviet people's minds. A…

    I don't think many people believed it. Actually it was more of a satire than a hoax. A mockery of the BS wave that befell on gullible and unprepared audience upon Perestroika.
