icu VS quicksort-blog-post

If you want graphemes, something lile libgrapheme might suit you. If just code points, then the utf8.h from ICU can work, but you can also roll your own if needed.

OP, is this money in the context of storing and counting money, or money in the context of internationalization and localization? For the latter, you probably want bindings to icu or the x/text/currency package.

This affects all packages that have icu as a dependency, one of them being Node.js.

I discovered this the hard way when some code malfunctioned shortly after daylight savings time kicked in.

No clue! It seems like a very deep rabbit hole to go down. You can start here: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu Version 72 I believe is when this was changed.

Installing icu4c from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases/tag/release-71-1 and put the path in "--with-icu-lib"

wget https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/archive/release-58-3.tar.gz

You need something like icu. https://github.com/unicode-org/icu

ICU, which ships as part of the core internationalization and localization frameworks of every major operating system, has a facility for transliterating keyboards! This is how you can type in Roman characters and get Devanagari in text, or enter pinyin and get Han characters. You can compose a Hiragana to Latin transliteration — but it’s a stretch to get actual English words this way.

the vast majority of computers still aren't superscalar, much less ooo; for every i7 there are 100 cortex-m0+s, which don't even have caches. gpus aren't superscalar or ooo either, just heavily multithreaded, simt, and simd

it seems like there are cases on modern high-performance hardware where insertion sort is not better than bubble sort (cf. https://blog.reverberate.org/2020/05/29/hoares-rebuttal-bubb...) which is very surprising to me

Now that I'm through the article, I'm kind of sad though they didn't reference Andrei Alexandrescu's and Gerben Stavenga's excellent articles on branchless partitioning and instruction latencies.
