    That's a very important point. For instance on Intel's CPUs multiplication is pipelined - its latency is 3 cycles, but throughput is 1 cycle. Thus completing N multiplication takes…

    There are many scary things in the world. But the scariest is the line "Hi, I have a quick question". :)

    It was already said by the author, that approx ~70% of patches can be applied independently in various part of the source tree. The rest has to be synchronised.

    DuckDuckGo is also not good. Last week I switched to Bing and its results are surprisingly good.

    Author here. I cannot use BSR, because have to execute code for all bits, regardless their value. The range is: the last bit to the first with value 1. It's a non-obvious iteration…

    I use my own, simple CLI tool* (not only to track working hours, but also to track open source or hobby activiets). For many years I used Toggl, which is great and powerful - I jus…

    We can call these things "flaws" or "traits", it doesn't really matter. The reality is SIMD hardware is ubiquitous, while the alternatives the article mentions are niche. Maybe exc…

    Love the whole project, she's my hero. :) I'm wondering how much did she pay in total to look like a billionaire.

    I often use "not", "and", "or" to clearly express logical conditions. Bit operations look better as cryptic symbols "&", "|" and "~". :)

    The sentence in question is misinterpreted. I read it like this: our contract applies all the time, not only when you're directly working for the company. We don't know what the co…

    Looks great! Seems there were some issues in conversion into HTML chapter titles. For example https://www.practical-go-lessons.com/chap-31-logging#log.fat...

    Regarding the C++ version: instead of copying data to a vector and then sorting the vector, it might be more profitable to use std::multimap . This is a sorted container (likely rb…

    The article mentions that the format was reverse-engineered, but the link goes to some extension database page, without any further details. Is the format really known?

    Trivia: the Polish word "cuda" means "miracles", "zluda" ("złuda") means "a delusion". Nice pun.

    Really nice, well written introduction. Graphviz is a cool tool, we used this when debugging some graph-related algorithms.

    There's is an interesting supposition: if Haskell wasn't pure functional (had imperative constructions) it would be more popular. But Ocaml is not pure functional and is not popula…
