A folow up on a guessing game with C++ operators. Let's redo a few rounds. The benchmark is the same, the questions are the same. The compiler is the same. The only thing that changes is the platform. This is now CHIP with ARMv7.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
