		FooBarBizBazz on Oct 18, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: C++ proposal: There are exactly 8 bits in a byte Thank you, I found this hint very interesting. Is there a source you wouldn't mind pointing me to for those "head, tail" methods? I am assuming it relates to the kinds of "variable precision floating point with bounds" methods used in CGAL and the like; Googling turns up this survey paper: https://inria.hal.science/inria-00344355/PDF/p.pdf Any additional references welcome!
