@Aella_Girl ...but if you want a new poll, I like the Eric Andre classic "who would you rather have sex with, your mom or your dad?"

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@Aella_Girl You're just in time for the fourth installment of the roughly-every-9-months floorplan poll! How am I the only person that's noticed this, I need answers

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@Aella_Girl This is round 3, in case someone wants to make a graph.
Different survey options make it a bit hard to compare though

@mrbillstunes drive -> +60 dB ✅

Seriously though, what difference does this make besides making the master meter not red? I would think >0dB would be hard clipped by necessity when exporting

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@_monoid Yeah, go ahead! I don't use the light mode so any changes there are fine by me.

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@stephentyrone Is it like old rhythm and blues, or the new R&B? I'm not entirely sure why those two completely different genres have the same name

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@marc_b_reynolds I didn't know that. Kinda ridiculous that they did that when it's only one extra instruction to get the proper clz semantics, and anyone using clz (as opposed to a bsr intrinsic) probably wants those proper semantics

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@johnregehr @MDTom A variation on that idea: use an array instead, and use some hash bits to index it, so you'd only have to store what isn't used in the index.

As a bonus, you could store the maximum seen hash in each slot, so you'd sometimes get a definite "no" answer (if that matters at all)

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@gamozolabs Where's the zero option? (:w, ZZ, or a mapping for write-and-hit-up-enter-on-terminal-window)

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@sunglassesface what did you do

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@Aella_Girl oh wait there's an even better golf cart gif

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@Aella_Girl

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@johnregehr FINALLY

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@sunglassesface ...although it's good to keep in mind the iteration time of hardware from idea to silicon is several years long

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@sunglassesface Yeah it's an old idea, not sure why it's only getting popular now. My friend wrote his PhD dissertation on the idea in ~2010.

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@sunglassesface I mean it's a rather dumb name so no worries getting it wrong

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@sunglassesface It's big.LITTLE ya jabroni

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@danluu This doesn't feel like a fair reading of the comment, IMO. There was no judgment given about the number of bugs itself, only the open development processes that might contribute to it (in both finding and creating bugs), and that judgment was rather reserved.

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@Aella_Girl Have you yo-yo'd with something that isn't a yo-yo for more than ten total minutes in your life?

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@HaroldAptroot @marc_b_reynolds @vegard_no @slembcke Yep, from playing around a bit looks like it's:

number of bytes from start of line to end of literal << 24 + 2 * line number where literal starts + 34

[Zach Wegner @zwegner]

@pervognsen But each continuation byte position isn't unique...? E.g. a 4 byte sequence has three bytes of the form 10xxxxxx that can be shuffled around to form different code points that would still sort to the same value.
