I'd be curious what role "global approvers" at Google/Google's scale typically have/how many are there/what's the process?

Senior year AP scores aren't available for seniors until way after the application process. I think I ended up having 7/11 of my tests during senior year.

Imo the main advantage APs brings is GPA weighting/more impressive looking transcripts.

I think scores often aren't even considered by admissions -- purely used for college credit.

These are the most predictable HN comments

Lol don't worry, HN spends a lot more time complaining about web.dev than praising it.

Yep my bad! I think flipping the order should work still though.

The two links in the article:

And the LLVM source indicate to me it only picks up on x&(x-1) pattern, which would miss the popcount optimization on code like mine.

Here's a dumb question. If someone asked me to do it I'd probably write code like:

while(x != 0) { c += x&1; x >>= 1; }

Is this something that should be added to LLVM?

Edit: flip the order

Wow, it is actually shocking how disgusting the CEO's comments are.

It wasn't clear to me, but I might have just missed it. Is there a backup strategy beyond just duplicate data?

Have they lost data during rebuild?I know he briefly talked about that risk with different HD sizes.

Yes, I built a really bad version of it a while ago: https://braeden.dev/waterfall/

Click waterfall, and then click play when you have the audio on your computer playing outloud.

If you play the audio outloud, your mic should be able to pick up a barely recognizable version of the picture (try the heart first to calibrate the "row delay").

Take a look at the example pictures on github ^, poor, but functional fully web version.

You can just press ctrl+D and bypass the warning without any sound. It's not a big deal at all.

Agreed, about 25% of the content on HN seems to be Google hate.
