Well, if you're already using qsort_r, what's the point of using nested functions, if you can have a context pointer with the target? And if you're not using qsort_r, but reaching for _Thread_local, the target can be _Thread_

This reminds me of two excellent articles[1][2] by Paul Khuong, in which he talks about using size-specialized binary search for power-of-two sized arrays (special-casing the first iteration for other sizes). He uses conditional moves and d

Apparently there was some talk a few years ago about adding the project to the python standard library[1] and the maintainer seems really[2] interested[3] in that. But I don't think the standard library maintainers would want to incorp

But the definition of economically active differs between the two: Finland includes people from ages 15-89, while in Spain you need to be 16 or older. And judging from what I read the rise in unemployment in Finland is attributed to more pe

If you look at the solar radiation spectrum chart in the section "Why isn’t the sky violet?", you can see that sunlight is not evenly distributed along the visible spectrum--it emit more blue than red, and at sea level it's c

That's all well and good, except the README clearly states: > rústico (Spanish for Rust) which is plain wrong.

I was immediately put off by the Spanish version when I saw it was called "rústico", which does not translate to rust at all, it means rustic. The Spanish word for rust would be "óxido".

in the b=2 case, you get: 1 / 1 = 1 = b - 1 1 % 1 = 0 = b - 2 they are the other way around, see for example the b=3 case: 21 (base 3) = 7 12 (base 3) = 5 7 / 5 = 1 = b - 2 7 % 5 = 2 = b - 1

Maybe it should be called "lest"? As in a less/most replacement written in rust. Although it does divert from the theme of more/less/most.

They mention using this as the backing array for a power-of-two-sized hash table, but I don't think it would be very useful considering that the hash table won't provide stable pointers, given that you would need to rehash every e
