I think you misunderstand me. I am saying that on Linux text at normal PPI is pretty much as good (to me) as text at high PPI because it has sub pixel rendering and strong hinting …

OSX has had sub pixel rendering disabled by default since Mojave. It also never had the strong hinting that you can find on Linux and Windows which makes text significantly sharper…

Do you use Mac OS X? When using Windows or Linux I don't find much benefit in text rendering on a 4k display. But as Mac OS X has no sub pixel rendering or grid fitting text looks …

You can still get 2% interest on that buy buying treasury ETFs, or 1.56% currently by asking them to open a preferred deposit account for you, which is essentially a savings accoun…

If you have bank of america you can link your bofa and merrill accounts. They even give you bonuses on your credit cards of +25/50/75% cash back for balances over 25/50/100k in ass…

Depends what you consider a Rope. Does it require constant time concat? Does it require immutability? Does it require a balancing scheme based on the fib sequence? Does it require …

Re benchmarking vs other data structures: Here is a B+Tree based sequence container I made: https://github.com/det/segmented_tree Basically, it has O(log n) everything like a binar…

If you enforce the use of clang-format then this is not an issue as it will indent the code correctly.

It's impressive that clang generates the same assembly for both versions: https://godbolt.org/g/yLh1EF Note that the assembly for process_message2 calls each function only once eve…

Returning a stack allocated value is a move in C++11/14. It is also true that in many circumstances a compiler may optimize that move away using RVO/NRVO. Consider this example: ht…

I would expect B-trees to outperform binary trees even in a persistent data structure. The necessity of binary trees comes when you need stable iterators/references.

std::array does not exist because it is easier to read. It exists because C arrays behave strangely. Two examples: decay to pointer and no value semantics.

Your loop: void TestSigned(int min, int max, int step) { for (int i = max; i >= min; i -= step) F(i); } Becomes this with unsigned: void TestUnsigned(unsigned min, unsigned max, un…

I've written a Data Structure[1] for C++ to handle this problem. It uses counted B+Trees internally and is a drop in replacement for C++14's std::vector. [1] https://github.com/det…

They cherry picked a retailer that was out of stock and listing an old price on the pink scooter.

Note that the pink scooter has a grayed-out "Add to cart" button. They are sold out of the pink version so you can't even buy it on target.com (Where the screenshot appears to be f…

Nothing in particular, just admitting the possibility.

I've looked into this and it seems you are correct, thanks for the explanation.

Who is assuming anything? People are conducting science and the evidence doesn't support an advantage for this particular function. Also, not only do I not think it is not absurd t…

Because bitmaps target a specific resolution they can be tweaked so that features are aligned to pixel boundaries resulting in less anti-aliasing. Truetype fonts are an example of …

> Git was not designed for security Can you elaborate on this? While it's true that SHA-1 is now broken, my understanding is that git's reason for using SHA-1 was to ensure the int…
