LGTM. Though do people really code with ligatures turned on?
Edit: Ok so there are some big advocates of ligatures, I’m going to have to give them a second chance. I’ll try for a week, and either way that Fira Code font looks great.
I was skeptical of ligatures at first, too, it took me awhile to warm up to it. But yeah, love me some Fira Code now.
Umm… someone explain this code please?
Bit shift magic.
My guess is that all the individual characters of Hello World are found inside the 0xC894 number. Every 4 bits of
xshows where in this number we can find the characters for Hello World.You can read x right to left. (Skip the rightmost 0 as it’s immediately bit shifted away in first iteration)
3 becomes H 2 becomes e 1 becomes l 5 becomes o
etc.
I guess when we’ve exhausted all bits of x only 0 will be remaining for one final iteration, which translates to !
Too readable. You’ve gotta encode the characters as the solutions of a polynomial over a finite field, implemented with linear feedback on the bit shifts. /s
