Instruction level parallelism will make extra shift free. Other than this it needs to be benched and might depend on cpu/arch. I don't care enough to bench and optimize further.

I think you're right. Even better. Did you have time to bench it, etc.? I see what you mean by length. I just skimmed over the text originally as I don't have time for rather lame …

It's unclear what is in the highest byte, so I assume not 0x000x0y0z, but 0xab0x0y0z where ab is unknown (in the past comment I used XX for this). If highest byte is known, then su…

Might be wrong but this shortcut corrupts the lower bits with garbage from the higher byte. The lookup table can detect some, but not all errors, so yeah, it relies on valid input.…

Yes, but also - they lie about the inflation and force the public to hold the bonds anyway (aka. financial repression, yield curve control).

I'm sorry but most of your comment has nothing to do to what I said, and seems like random rambling. Except: > 3.2% is absolutely peanuts to what it was some 3-4 decades ago. But 3…

What's amazing about it if the debt increased more in the absolute terms? :D . If I max out credit cards I can at least show spending (GDP) growth at least the same as what I borro…

it's one XOR, SHL, OR, SHR, AND, on some archs the shifts might come free with the other instruction. I'd expect it to be faster. a = v ^ 0x30303030lu // normalize to digits 0xXX0a…

What products/services they produce if they're private? They're in this sweet spot where they're neither held accountable by the voter, nor by the consumer. The can be wrong over a…

Exxon is a private company so some basic level of competency can be assumed. The Fed is basically bunch of incompetent academic buffoons.

Would use XOR 0x30303030lu, then OR with a value shifted left 12 bits, take bits 24..12 and lookup in 4k pre-computed lookup array.

This needs to be said: Every single thing Poettering touched was huge improvement. A great hero of Linux userspace architecture.

Features of modern CPUs don't really prevent them from real time usage, afaik. As long as something is bounded and can be reasoned about it can be used to build a real time system.…

Public discourse was and should always be in the private domain. Anything else is totalitarianism by definition.

The do increase shareholder value, just in exactly short-term. The problem with publicly traded companies is not as much wanting to increase the value, but how short is the time ho…

If you want to really understand modern money check "Broken Money" book.

What about my code?

Wow, how much do I pay to run it on MacOS?

Helix the binary is around 24M on my system. Helix uses tree-sitter for rich language support. Tree-sitter's grammars are binary dynamic libraries compiled from some source code. D…

Nice use of both Observer and Strategy patterns!

It's like Pox Party. You're exposing them early so they get immune when they're adults from this disease.

Arguably Xi was a design-bloat. I mean - it was a research project. Nothing wrong with it, but the community got super-excited about it, ignoring ... well, the pragmatic reality. A…
