#JavaScript is a weird language; it has #bigint, but it doesn't have a function that returns a number of bits in the bigint. Neither it has #log2 function for the bigints. If you need a workaround for the problem, see the article medium.com/@sergeyshandar/impr

Does anyone know how to make a fast log2 function for bigint in JavaScript?

I know that JS VM can do it in almost O(1) because it has information about the size of bigint. My current best algorithm is O(log(n)). The algorithm performs faster than x.toString(2).length and consumes less memory. Do you have any ideas for improvement?

I may skip adding `Uint8Array` and other typed arrays to FunctionalScript because `bigint` is a good enough representation of a sequence of bits. #javascript #ecmascript #bigint #typedarray

Swift sucks at web serving… or does it?

A few weeks ago, Axel Roest published a simple web server comparison, that turned out to not be doing what it was thought to be doing. Figuring that out was a very interesting discussion that warrants a retrospective, to look at which parts were particularly helpful and which not so much.

Tangentially, I want to highlight that Axel's comparison is notable because he is interested in efficiency, not mere brute performance. The two are usually correlated but not always the same. He correctly [...]

I had not remembered that I did actually already create one #BigInt #kata to learn the basics of it.

In #ES11 or #ES2020 or just #JavaScript 2 years ago it was released. Wanna learn it too? Feel free to fix some failing tests and hopefully learn actively how BigInt works.

BigInt: Basics A BigInt can represent numbers larger than number A BigInt is a large number a number: Number.MAX_VALUE * Number.MAX_VALUE, is useless, it results in Infinity a bigint: BigInt(Number.MAX_VALUE) * BigInt(Number.MAX_VALUE) results in an amazingly large AND usable number the result of BigInt(Number.MAX_VALUE) * BigInt(Number.MAX_VALUE) has 617 digits creating one can be done in multiple ways adding an n at the end of a number calling the function BigInt(x), where x is a number calling the function BigInt(x) with a string calling the function BigInt(x) with a binary number difference to a number a BigInt is of type "bigint" comparing via == can coerce a bigint to a number but type safe comparisons fail a bigint can NOT be used with Math.* functions can not be calculated with a number BigInt supports various operators the + and - work just like for numbers also * and / work the modulo operator % works as known the exponentiation operator ** works like on numbers but ++ even throws a SyntaxError the comparison operators work, even with numbers comparing 2n >= 2 works as if they were of the same type the number can also be the left operand 1 < 2n, works as if they were the same type explicit type conversion via String(0n) renders the number without a trailing n for Boolean(0b01n) everything but a 0 zero is true the API BigInt is NOT a constructor, it throws BigInt.asIntN() returns a bigint that can fit in the given number of bits BigInt.asUintN() uses the g...

Is it just me, or is supporting the full range of 8-byte integer IDs in web applications a pain in the butt?
