That seems a bit small seeing how doubles can represent 53 bit integers accurately.

Lua is written in C89, perhaps a good example of that.

Yes, FrexxEd is great. I've done quite a bit of work on the source code to extend it a little, and have overhauled the scripts also.

There were definitely security cameras in the early 90s and 2000s, just not in as many places as now.

An FPGA isn't much more interesting than an emulator for preservation.

In the case of Xoshiro256 you can just make multiple instances of the generator with Xoshiro's jump function. No locking required and no overlapping sequences.

Re:That XOR Trick (2020)

You're wrong. Remember that XOR works on individual bits. If what you're saying was true, then swapping bits that are both set to 1 would also fail, which means this algorithm wouldn't work at all.
Edit: Ignore this post, I misread the original post as saying swapping the same values would fail.

That first one is madness! That's not even goto-phobia, that's just not knowing what arrays and loops are.
The third one is true goto-phobia of course. Crazy how people can't see the mess they make by avoiding goto for the sake of avoiding goto.
