This one’s even worse. You take a shot if you miss, they take a shot if you hit: https://youtube.com/watch?v=kUMaIr4MEHg

Probably because it’s only four bytes of data, and counting/extracting bits takes more cpu time than one AND operation.
Most CPU’s are optimised to work with whole integers (32/64 bit) rather than individual bits.
If memory was a serious concern you could compress it down to one byte as a ‘number of 1s’ counter at the cost of additional cpu operations, but because 3 extra bytes is such a small amount of data, this memory/time trade off isn’t worth it in most systems.
It’d be useful if you wanted to compress some data logs or something with many subnet masks though.
We would if we could afford to
Eb Games and Kmart are both huge in Australia
That guy’s seriously talented!
Among the things he’s made, he’s also made some really nice, easy to understand, high-speed compression formats (QOI/QOA), as well as a public domain mpeg decoder.
I’ve used all three for various projects and I’d highly recommend that most software developers check them out. If only for the learning experience.
Like what?
Genuinely interested in knowing what he’s said.
Somebody who dislikes cars uses one??
Impossible!
Is that really something that came from the black community though? It was around before North America was colonised.
Sounds suspiciously similar to the Stargate plot…
Do people wake up before 7am?
I’m confused. What else would you call it?
Twenty Sided / Shamus Young 😢
Even that’s being toppled by 1.1.1.1
What if I have over 1000 tabs open?
