Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.

Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.
Technically LBJ killed the small truck with the chicken tax. If nobody can afford to import reasonably sized European and Asian trucks, we’re left with whatever the big three churn out.
The only thing I can think about is if you billed to a university address. A couple electronics outlets I shopped at would give discounts for students and universities.
need a vehicle that sits high
Why does anybody need a vehicle that “sits high”?
Oh right, duh. Thanks.
They should have aimed at the non-stainless steel portion. Pretty sure you could wipe this up easy with some acetone or gasoline as a solvent.
I believe the optimization came because the denominator was a power of two. In my memory, the function counted up all of the bytes being sent and checked to see that the sum was a power of 16 (I think 16 bytes made a single USB endpoint or something; I still don’t fully understand USB).
For starters, you can split up a larger modulo into smaller ones:
X = (A + B); X % n = (A % n + B % n) % n
So our 16 bit number X can be split into an upper and lower byte:
X = (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8)
so
X % 16 = ((X & 0xFF) % 16 + (X >>8) % 16) % 16
This is probably what the compiler was doing in the background anyway, but the real magic came from this neat trick:
x % 2^n = x & (2^n - 1).
so
x % 16 = x & 15
So a 16 bit modulo just became three bitwise ANDs.
Edit: and before anybody thinks I’m good a math, I’m pretty sure I found a forum post where someone was solving exactly my problem, and I just copy/pasted it in.
Edit2: I’m pretty sure I left it here, but I think you can further optimize by just ignoring the upper byte entirely. Again, only because 16 is a power of 2 and works nicely with bitwise arithmatic.
Lol, no, but in the summers we were allowed to wear t-shirts on Friday.
Thanks!
And it was. They told me to take the rest of the day off which at the age of 22 was unheard of.
Thank you! But this was 12 years ago lol. Think they’ve moved on.
Whoops. Formatting got lost in the transfer. Fixed now.
Choo choo!
Oh man! I didn’t know this game was on PC! Has been on my must-play list for years, but it was a PlayStation exclusive.
I don’t understand! Where do you think the train is going to go? They don’t exactly come out of nowhere.
She was actually made up to be pretty ugly for most of the first season, but they hotted her up at the end as the result of some magic shit.
I watched it once four years ago, so don’t remember the details.
Alibaba is talking directly to the manufacturer. At least in my experience. Haven’t heard of trade wheel.
Yeah, but the same is true for .kkreiger which is more impressive imo.
