20:37:25 <wob_jonas> Some large stores are now routinely putting throwaway RFID anti-theft chips on products that cost less than 500 HUF and aren't especially common targets for theft. RFID sure has become cheap.
20:38:27 -!- `^_^v has joined.
20:41:25 <wob_jonas> Admittedly this is a store that sells mostly its own branded products, and the RFID chip doubles as faster barcode-less checkout system, which is why it's worth to add it on everything, even cheap products.
20:42:18 <wob_jonas> Most supermarkets only add RFID on the more expensive products, and the ones that are expensive relative to their physical size and likely targets for theft, such as small liquor bottles.
20:43:01 <wob_jonas> `dowg it
20:43:45 <wob_jonas> hmm, no HackEgo again?
20:45:39 <wob_jonas> \oren\: normally you lock the whole map (put it behind a mutex),
20:46:52 <wob_jonas> \oren\: but if you have lots of concurrent accesses on a map from many threads in performance-sensitive contexts, which most often happens in an OS kernel, then you can use a trickier structure with more fine-grained locking, usually a hash table but technically can be a tree style map too.
20:48:32 <wob_jonas> \oren\: if you have lots of concurrent reads but fewer modifications, then you can also use a read-write lock on the whole map, which allows concurrent reads from multiple threads, but excludes other type of concurrent access, and is not much more expensive than the simple mutex
20:49:43 <wob_jonas> \oren\: in modern C++, there's an std::shared_timed_mutex and std::shared_mutex class that implements the read-write lock semantics for threads

21:20:44 <zzo38> A leap year algorithm in a C code can be: int leapyear(unsigned int y) { return !((y%100?:y/100)&3); } You could use optimizations having to do with integer division by a constant, if writing in assembly language. An implementation of this in MMIX with the division instruction uses 64 cycles, but maybe it can be shortened by avoiding a division instruction.
21:24:42 <wob_jonas> zzo38: does this need to work for negative y too?
21:25:57 <int-e> the Gregorian calendar isn't that old
21:27:29 <zzo38> wob_jonas: No, it only works for the Gregorian calendar.
21:28:45 <zzo38> (I wouldn't have written "unsigned" if it is meant to work for negative numbers too.)
21:29:26 <wob_jonas> int-e: yes, I know, but some people extend the Gregorian calendar infinitely back for solar system astronomy or something. zzo38: oh right, unsigned int
21:29:28 -!- Melvar` has joined.
21:32:17 <zzo38> On MMIX, division is six times as slow as multiplication, so it could help to use multiplication instead, even if you need two multiplications.
21:34:08 <wob_jonas> zzo38: you always need only at most one multiplication to simulate a division of single-word numbers by a constant, but you need a number of other instructions next to it. compilers automatically do that optimization these days, because division is always slow, and multiplication is fast on modern cpus.
21:34:39 <wob_jonas> however, in some cases you can get a shorter sequence if you know that the sign bit of the dividend is positive, and compilers often can't prove that.
21:35:37 <wob_jonas> another case when you may have to help the compiler is if you do a lot of divisions by the same divisor, but the compiler doesn't realize that.
21:36:09 <zzo38> Shouldn't the compiler be able to prove if it says "unsigned int", though? And in this case you need the remainder as well as the quotient (but the quotient is irrelevant unless it is exact).
21:37:07 <wob_jonas> zzo38: no, the problem is that sometimes the CPU has a signed integer multiply instruction but no equally cheap unsigned integer multiply. if the sign bit is clear, you can substitute one for the other. this particular case can occur on x86.
21:37:20 -!- LKoen has joined.
21:37:24 <zzo38> O, OK.
21:37:49 <wob_jonas> this is a more frequent problem if you need to do an actual division with a variable dividend, but it can still happen with division simulated by multiplication.
21:38:00 * variable glares at wob_jonas
21:38:11 <wob_jonas> zzo38: but even without that the sign can matter:
21:38:27 <variable> zzo38: that algo doesn't work
21:38:36 <variable> zzo38: years divisible by 400 are not leap years
21:39:16 <wob_jonas> zzo38: if you want to divide by 4, and you use the C division operator, which these days has truncating division semantics, then you need like three or four instructions with no multiplication; but if you know the sign bit is clear, then you can use just one instruction, a shift (or a bitwise and for modulo), which does floor division.
21:41:19 <wob_jonas> you could technically also be in trouble if you don't have both signed shift and unsigned shift instructions, but I don't think that occurs on any modern cpu (modern meaning one that has fast multiplication)
21:43:29 <zzo38> Years divisible by 400 are leap years. If it is divisible by 100 then it is not a leap year, unless it is also divisible by 400.
21:46:07 -!- Melvar` has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
21:46:55 <zzo38> variable: Why do you think it is not a leap year? I think it is a leap year.
21:51:04 <variable> zzo38: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year
21:51:13 <variable> For example, in the Gregorian calendar, each leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365, by extending February to 29 days rather than the common 28. These extra days occur in years which are multiples of four (with the exception of years divisible by 100 but not by 400).
21:52:50 -!- `^_^v has joined.
21:59:26 <zzo38> Yes, so 2000, which is divisible by 400, is a leap year.
