You must have a smaller microdrive ;-) I can fit over 1000 on my Casio 2800 on the 1Gig microdrive at max size.

  Bitstring vector to list conversion in Perl5
 
Anyone know of a super-efficient way in Perl5 to convert a sparse bitstring vector to a list of integer-offset values (just the 1-bits) in Perl5? That is, if you had some $v that was created like so: my $v; my @n = (...some sorted sparse list of (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  8-bit floating-point number representations?
 
Anyone know of a good C library that efficiently implements conversion from a processor-native 'double' floating-point precision number to some standard form of an 8-bit floating-point number and back? And a Perl5 library to go with it? An array of (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I like Java. But this really needed to be close to the metal and generate code that would fit in the L1 cache for the non-memory-bus-bound portions of the loops. The GNU C compiler is incredible. (...) It's the best C code I've written in 12 (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) All geeks capitulate sooner or later on perl vs C. Of course Larry (and many others I work with) would tell you to write that stuff in Java but that would be a step backwards. Congratulations! Of course it's stability depends greatly on your (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Ya, exactly -- first name the URL components carefully and then put a user- friendly level on top of it. Best of both worlds. (...) Ah, I see. Yeah, that could be helpful in certain cases, if you're scouring tons of results! I've needed to (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Logo for mobile phone
 
(...) It's indeed the Nokia 8110. Some special version since it has an "open panel" with a spring via a button. Mine is highly manual. The phone itself sucks. It's about as twistable as the 8448 Super Street Sensation (not that the 8448 sucks or (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Logo for mobile phone
 
(...) I think that was the Nokia 8110, which is not available anymore. But there are many phone which have the same looks, for example 7110, 8850 and 8890. (3 URLs) I don't like phones which require a panel to be opened in some way to be operated. I (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Suggested CD-R(W) Burner programs
 
(...) Hrmmm. Is this in a Compaq computer? That was the first thing my irc buddies asked me about it. They all seemed to think it more likely to be hardware than software, given this is essentially a "no-name" burner. Still, you might as well give (...)

(...) Wow! So you have terms for the ampersand options in a URL? My standpoint on this would be to put everything in a form and kill 2 birds with 1 stone - not having to think of how to name URL terms (unless you enjoy doing that) and having the (...)
