Common markup for Markdown and reStructuredText

Markdown and reStructuredText

GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as things like automatic generation of tables of contents.

These notes are very rough. They should give a general idea of how each level was solved.

Boxing/unboxing problem with Integer equality
import org.junit.Test;
import junit.framework.Assert;
public class IntTest {
@Test
public void testSame() {
Assert.assertSame(100,100);
// Since assertSame takes two Objects, the two ints will be boxed to Integers.

Bitwise tricks

Inspired by this article. Neat tricks for speeding up integer computations.

Note: cin.sync_with_stdio(false); disables synchronous IO and gives you a performance boost. If used, you should only use cin for reading input (don't use both cin and scanf when sync is disabled, for example) or you will get unexpected results.

Multiply by a power of 2

x = x << 1; // x = x * 2

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The list would not be updated for now. Don't write comments.

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Because of GitHub search limitations, only 1000 first users according to amount of followers are included. If you are not in the list you don't have enough followers. See raw data and source code. Algorithm in pseudocode:

Git, Compression, and Deltas - An explanation

Git Compression of Blobs and Packfiles.

Many users of Git are curious about the lack of delta compression at the object (blob) level when commits are first written. This efficiency is saved until the pack file is written. Loose objects are written in compressed, but non-delta format at the time of each commit.

A simple run though of a commit sequence with only the smallest change to the image (in uncompressed TIFF format to amplify the observable behavior) aids the understanding of this deferred and different approach efficiency.

The command sequence:
