(Power-of-2 would be == 1). Because after all it clears the lowest set bit and then tests whether the result is 0. 0 maps to itself.<br/><br/>This immediately generalizes to other small pop counts. 2025-05-09T01:49:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrr0jarmujy7ewa6rn7wlqxar550ez7n3mmpzh5j79f3t9ea8d8dszyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsydmm2hl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsznsg6ffcdjmpp7t08req4pq86h959696ukt39lz5dpw765lppc6gd9lngn'>nevent1q…lngn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;\n&#34; vs &#34;\<br/>n&#34; 2025-03-18T18:46:58Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs826tds7gz8pd8uykjg8jgs2elgmt8pdxgyv6pfr9f3xfgmhc2veszyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsy5asgue In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszxyjwjvwm4zsumsh7rmcg64gmk75hrymgfdcg4ehnjx6mmw9lk0c84csj0'>nevent1q…csj0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>🤷 it be like that sometimes 2025-03-13T16:21:31Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp20555pjm7cqzyy4xnu90gq5t7pjy3sytza4z7zhma5ps5g02g7czyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsyh9h5lh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvz0r4p0gkkuvpmdxeznurkjcnvgykgnphfvr32c2qdg9g8sa65hsyhn4ka'>nevent1q…n4ka</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The less said about Final Fantasy, the better, but I will say that nobody seems to trust FF, they&#39;re all &#34;these 4 are the good ones&#34; 2025-03-13T02:09:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvz0r4p0gkkuvpmdxeznurkjcnvgykgnphfvr32c2qdg9g8sa65hszyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsyjspdwe The &#34;Final Fight&#34; franchise by now has 6 installments and I ask you, why would you still trust any franchise that has betrayed its fundamental premise that often 2025-03-13T02:05:26Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqa098ycyfslw8uzawv7rvud2yscc7eqyvu406p344f5ra2lzfcmszyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsymr25qg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd7hu8mr83efg0ng667nave88p6m6wsdkedaft7rkvyrmy379p75czfqln2'>nevent1q…qln2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This year, I celebrated Black Square Day with the traditional &#34;read a novel chapter on the bus&#34;. 2025-02-26T06:18:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9d7hay8sxgqhxhcs46gnavaxzsae0y375ayuxcfmp4c44tq9a7nqzyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsyfeh475 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqz7ywu7avg69eygzf5elhcg6ppl6qqukv8s43hf536757pn5fy9gee4v6r'>nevent1q…4v6r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Definitely not Spacechem, I never made it past the first 7 levels or so 2025-01-27T18:46:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq6mqpfgd5q72vr0duy32nn9qeqch8vduvjtha6lzyknqkl4l2ueczyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsy6vkt2q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyt7rdzaduzkfmg9nqf2mj52vunvqundhqyzr2yfkt6835s7nxs4g60cf90'>nevent1q…cf90</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I usually make it until the day of to even learn when the date is, and I usually don&#39;t know which teams are playing, so thank you for ruining my streak 2025-01-27T18:17:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf6rhy62pd3l4m0s2g5zvz84nrnmlfe64jva83spgwmfk422lmwcszyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsytejsus look I&#39;m not a complete Grinch but I really can&#39;t commit to &#34;jingle all the way&#34;<br/><br/>my personal limit is around 2/3rds jingle, I just can&#39;t do any more than that 2024-12-11T05:13:46Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0l989c4up4phl8l8wvyn0ludfsdmsy6ypytjkw83y65gh3g34xtqzyzkjkysc7zkygp7w35wfh8u8mrjqjsmtn4ggcqecdhd8lel34vpsywgsmqg Every time someone self-describes as &#34;content creator&#34; I die a little inside.<br/><br/>Look, &#34;content&#34; is the language of people who run a CDN, a TV station, a publication, a record label, whatever.
