Sorry, your code is even unclearer than that in the article. Where did you pull the 18 from, for example? Non-experts of Python won't know that the return format of bin(a) will have a 0b prefix. Note that Python is used here as pseudocode, so it's better to avoid assuming much knowledge of the Python standard library.
The Python code in the article suffers from two problems:
1) It's unclear what kind of value each variable holds. The variables should either be renamed to something self-descriptive, or a comment should explain the role of each.
2) The code is slightly obscure because it tries to be smart about not recomputing an index expression. Now to explain the algorithm, we don't need optimized code (and an optimizing compiler, which we'd use if efficiency is of any concern, would spot this anyway, so there isn't any reason to even slightly complicate the code even in production).
The code from the ACM Sian article by Chan is much clearer; here's transcribed and commented pseudocode:
def z_order(p, q, d):
""Returns true if p < q according to Z-order in d dimensions.
p and q are supposed to be arrays of d coordinates.""
i = 0 # index of most significant dimension
for j in range(1, d):
# Use ^ (exclusive or) to eliminate equal bits.
# msb_is_less will see ones where the coordinates differ.
if msb_is_less (p[i]^q[i], p[j]^q[j]):
i = j
return p[i] < q[i]
def msb_is_less(l, r):
""Returns true if the Most Significant Bit of l is less than that of r.""
return l <= r or l < l^r # Described as ""neat trick"" by Chan
Note that the algorithm in the article has ""l < r"" instead of ""l <= r""; this changes the result of msb_is_less but I suspect it does not change the result of z_order.

== Initial V in Pre-Germanic? ==
Is this correct? Germanic V often alternates with F, as in loaf/loaves, but that doesn't seem to apply here; in some North and West Germanic languages another V derives from W, but that's much later, a medieval sound-shift. | toxic | en |

Hey Riana, I hope everything is good with you and that you're enjoying the weekend. I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine, and myself, so he doesn't need any NN stye supervision or major help or anything. He's doing well with editing and already has a DYK for an article he created (Judy Morris) and so I believe he's definitely here for the right reasons and not for socialising, but he's, understandably, keen to link in with some of the editors in his general age group (I'm not sure of his exact age but I take it he's around 16/17). I hope you don't mind but I have recommended you as an excellent Australian administrator. So if he ever drops by your talk page to say G'day or to ask for a hand with something, that's what it's about. Hope that's okay with you. Take care mate, Sarah | toxic | en |

":and like said earlier, SoaD has a lot in common with Nu metal:
Generally speaking, the emphasis in the music is on either communicating feelings of angst and hostility, or motivating a crowd to move with the beat. - Yes, SoaD does not have teen angst, but it definitely does have emphasis on motivating the crowd to move with the beat. I must say, both in the music and lyrics. On ""BYOB,"" the chorus is extremely pop-like (from an alternative rock POV) and says ""Everybody's going to the party have a real good time, Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine"" which is an incitation to dance and ""move with the beat"". On ""Lost in Hollywood"", one part says ""All you bitches put your hands in the air"" which is another incitation to ""moving with the beat"" and is sounds like something a rapper would say (that's my opinion).
Nu metal guitarists generally make liberal use of palm muting. - SoaD uses a lot of palm muting. First examples that pop up to my mind are ""BYOB"", ""Radio/Video"", and ""Old School Hollywood"".
Another common technique with nu metal guitarists is the use of de-tuned strings whose lower pitch creates a thicker, more resonant sound. - A technique that SoaD uses. ""BYOB"" is in Dropped C (I believe), but anyone with the slightest guitar knowledge would notice that SoaD are tuned down.
This is typical of nu metal bands in that guitar solos are rare in nu metal songs in general, and when they do appear they are often short. - SoaD have very few guitar solos, and if they do they are extremely short or do not emphasize on technicality (which, in general, is what most metal bands do in a guitar solo).
Nu metal bands often feature aggressive vocals that range from melodic singing akin to pop and rock, guttural screaming and shouting from various forms of metal, hardcore punk, and rapping. - SoaD uses (most of the time) melodic singing and shouting, and in some occasions uses some rap-like vocals (most notably in their ""Chop Suey"" intro and verses). Although it is not, properly speaking, rap, the link must be considered. I would still like to remind you that rapping does not necessarily make you a nu metal band, and that being a nu metal band does not necessarily means you rap. There are nu metal bands who don't rap, and they are still nu metal.
Normally, nu metal songs have a song structure of instrumental introduction, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, sometimes another verse but almost always ending with a chorus. - This is characteristic of SoaD. Most of their songs (I'm not saying all of them) have a very simple ""verse-chorus-verse"" structure (as well as the slight variants).
It is generally louder in the instrumental parts and the choruses than in the verses. - Listen to ""Attack"" on their last album.
Another thing I'd like to mention is that Serj Tankian worked with Limp Bizkit (a well known nu metal band), Saul Williams (a hip-hop artist), M.I.A. (a rapper), and The Notorious B.I.G. (another rapper & hip-hop artist). The link to hip-hop and rapping with System of a Down's lead singer is therefore established. I don't have the material that Tankian produced with those artists, but seeing how those artists are predominantly hip-hop and nu metal (in Link Bizkit's case), it is probable that the material is similar to hip-hop and nu metal in style. the 'introduction, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge' is used by every genre of music: rock, country, punk, so that doesnt make them nu metal either
SoaD is nu metal. Cheers Emmaneul (Talk)
I feel that the only reason they were labeled as Nu Metal is because all of the hard/metal music that was popping up around that time was following Korn and adding the Hip Hop element. Because they happened to play music that was more hard or agressive than a rock band, they were considered Nu Metal.
As for the things that said, I can easily say how they are wrong. When he gives the reference about BYOB, and how that line ""everybody's going to the party have a real good time, dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine."" That line is metaphorical. BYOB stands for bring your own bombs, going to the party is metaphorical for going to war, blowing up the sunshine in the desert is like dropping bombs in Iraq. So those lines dont have anything to do woth the crowd moving to the beat. The detuned guitar doesnt make nu metal either. metallica did their st anger album in drop c. and almost every hard rock/metal band today uses drop d or lower. the 'introduction, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge' is used by every genre of music: rock, country, | toxic | en |

Re good faith: point taken. Mea culpa. So, can I suggest that, after the discussion about how difficult to define the terms have become, the article includes the observation that the terms under dispute are of major political advantage depending on who is using them about whom and who believes them about whom, and perhaps we could follow that with a list not only of historical figures that ""everyone agrees"" on, but a separate list of current, live, disputed, persons?

I'm glad to see this attracted attention. I agree that the Teo-Maya interaction is worth its own article, though not one as sensationalized as the putative 'Battle of Tikal' page. As a Teo specialist who has looked at much of the Maya literature on the topic, I agree that any talk of a actual military engagement between a force sent from Teo to fight a comparable force at Tikal is speculative at best. That is not to say that it didn't happen, but there is no evidence for it external to the texts from the above-mentioned sites. In the 1990s, of course, these texts were widely interpreted as describing a conflict between Tikal and Uaxactun; this is still reflected on the current version of the Uaxactun page. | toxic | en |

Not even Mises clearly uses that definition to the contents of praxeology (sometimes referring to it as analytical, or whatever), since he mostly dismissed the question as irrevelant. So, what i mean is, i don't think it's proper to state praxeology as synthetic a priori. For a better view on the basis of the logic of action see this: http://mises.org/journals/scholar/long.pdf
I will erase that part now, if that's ok.
By the way, about the criticisms i read here regarding if praxeology is science or not. It is, of course. Even using criterials from Popper, a well-known neo-positivist (or almost that, anyway), praxeology passes the test. | toxic | en |
Getting past the Twinkle problem (I don't use Twinkle myself, so I can't help there), and going to the merits of the article, I would note that WP:LISTED, particularly the second paragraph of the section, tends to suggest that nominating the article for deletion may not be the best plan for dealing with it.

Here is part of the 1957 paper, ""The FORTRAN Automatic Coding System"" by Backus, et al., this snippet on the FREQUENCY statment and its use in a compile-time Monte Carlo simulation of the run-time to optimise the code generated. Quoting ...
The fundamental unit of program is the basic block; a basic block is a stretch of program which has a single entry point and a single exit point. The purpose of section 4 is to prepare for section 5 a table of predecessors (PRED table) which enumerates the basic blocks and lists for every basic block each of the basic blocks which can be its immediate predecessor in flow, together with the absolute frequency of each such basic block link. This table is obtained by an actual ""execution"" of the program in Monte-Carlo fashion, in which the outcome of conditional transfers arising out of IF-type statements and computed GO TO'S is determined by a random number generator suitably weighted according to whatever FREQUENCY statements have been provided.

I am not a lawyer and I am not interested in becoming one just so I can post on Wikipedia, so I am not going to spend any more time building up a case. It is my understanding that Wikipedia administrators have an active interest in enforcing the rules and not depend on self-appointed legal deputies to do their work for them.
There's positive evidence that I am not the same person as these two, so I see no reason why I should pretend to have the burden of proof in this matter. Based on this, I feel sufficient cause for the removal of all claims of sock-puppetry. If they try to edit war with me, I will revert as often as needed, since this is a matter of libel and vandalism. | toxic | en |

Montanabw is making sweeping, unsourced statements - statements that appear as facts that everyone knows, and thus need no sourcing. Mbw's profile page indicates he/she is a horse person living in Montana. I think Mbw's is approaching the subject with a proprietary bias and simply does not want a researched, documented ""Animal Abuse in Rodeo"" controversy presented. Mbw is minimizing my contributions while maximizing his/hers. Mbw is very slightly altering my contributions to reflect a ""this is an animal nut"" statement sort of thing. In one contribution I named a veterinarian with work inrodeo and included her credentials. Mbw reduced the contribution to ""a spokesman for an animal rights group."" So how come you are supporting someone who is actually damaging the article, and coming down hard on someone who is trying to improve and cover all the bases in the discussion? " | toxic | en |

Just to let you know - efforts like this one have been deleted in the past, and this particular version is likely to follow that same route. You are welcome to coordinate activities between yourself and interested editors in your userspace, for the most part - but hierarchical bureaucracy (chief of unit, etc.) and authoritative titles is likely to put off most Wikipedians and lead even more quickly to a WP:MFD for the page you have created. There are noticeboards in existence already for purposes similar to yours; for reliable sources there is WP:RS/N, for biographies of living people there is WP:BLP/N, and there are boards for fringe theories etc. Actual hoaxes are deletable under the criteria for speedy deletion, as well.

Well, I certainly wasn't denying that this kind of thing can happen. i was just noting that nobody seems to say anything one way or the other about her close relatives, and that the whole thing seems to be cherry-picking. It's also rather anglocentric - it's not as though Charlotte came out of a wild area where we know nothing of her other family members, and yet there seems to be no interest in whether she looked like a typical member of the family, or not. At any rate, I have no particular problem with some mention of this. I do think that it's pretty disproportionate at this point. k 23:00, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) | toxic | en |

Hmmm... installed SA 2.40, but I get the same error when trying

the amavis code is calling for this. I'll hit up the

Turkey City Lexicon
URL: http://boingboing.net/#85506002
Date: Not supplied
After the talk at UT Austin, I spent Saturday at the Turkey City science
fiction writers' workshop at Bruce Sterling's place. Turkey City is a venerable
science fiction workshop that has spawned many good writers and a lexicon of
science fiction critical terms that is the de facto standard for understanding
what works and what doesn't in a work of science fiction:
Squid on the Mantelpiece
Chekhov said that if there are dueling pistols over the mantelpiece in the
first act, they should be fired in the third. In other words, a plot
element should be deployed in a timely fashion and with proper dramatic
emphasis. However, in SF plotting the MacGuffins are often so overwhelming
that they cause conventional plot structures to collapse. It's hard to
properly dramatize, say, the domestic effects of Dad's bank overdraft when
a giant writhing kraken is levelling the city. This mismatch between the
conventional dramatic proprieties and SF's extreme, grotesque, or visionary
thematics is known as the "squid on the mantelpiece."
Card Tricks in the Dark
Elaborately contrived plot which arrives at (a) the punchline of a private
joke no reader will get or (b) the display of some bit of learned trivia
relevant only to the author. This stunt may be intensely ingenious, and
very gratifying to the author, but it serves no visible fictional purpose.

The link in the most recent comment by JohnInDC is one to a site with links to sites describing the U.S. Capitol. Whoever designed that link may not have known that the plan was Ellicott's, rather than L'Enfant's. That also seems to be the case at Arlington Cemetery, where a historical marker in front of L'Enfant's grave illustrates Ellicott's Plan, rather than L'Enfant's original plan. As L'Enfant objected to Ellicott's revisions in his letters, he would probably not be very happy about this misidentification. Fortunately, his grave is covered by a slab containing a copy of a portion of his own plan. However, the public usually only sees the copy of Ellicott's plan (or revision).
As to the caption of the pictures on the Wikipedia pages, the people who have commented above should all visit the website describing the Library of Congress' holdings of L'Enfant's and Ellicott's plans in the Library's catalog at http://lccn.loc.gov/95860578. The summary of the holdings states: “Summary: Includes plans by Pierre L'Enfant (facsimile maps published in 1887 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey) and Andrew Ellicott (1792) and … “.
In its most definitive site, the Library of Congress therefore identifies the plan in the Wikipedia pages as Ellicott’s plan. I will leave it to others to revise the caption on the plan in the Wikepedia pages, as I do not want to revise it again myself. | toxic | en |

Hi there. Given that you've withdrawn the AfD nomination, and that there's a pretty clear consensus to keep the article, how long does the discussion need to remain open?
