  Re: Digital Camera
 
(...) 340mb, yeah. I'm thinking of getting a larger Microdrive when I get a PocketPC unit that supports them, but I will still use the 340mb for the camera unless I have a storage "emergency". (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Aah, you definately couldn't have done that in Java. Of course the ability to declare a couple register variables helps too. KL (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Suggested CD-R(W) Burner programs
 
(...) It seems to have worked. However, I couldn't figure out how to just copy files to a CD using CDRWIN, so I used the "File Backup and Tools" window. I guess I now have a CD with an image of the file I copied (DivX movie--The Rock, 690MB). I was (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

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)
 
  Re: News search function reactivated (was: News search function temporarily disabled)
 
(...) 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)
