 # ASCII
 
-ASCII (American standard code for information interchange) is a relatively simple standard for digital encoding of [text](text.md) that's one of the most basic and probably the most common format used for this purpose. For its simplicity and inability to represent characters of less common alphabets it is nowadays quite often replaced with more complex encodings such as [UTF-8](utf8.md) who are however almost always backwards compatible with ASCII (interpreting UTF-8 as ASCII will give somewhat workable results), and ASCII itself is also normally supported everywhere. ASCII is the [suckless](suckless.md)/[LRS](lrs.md)/[KISS](kiss.md) character encoding, recommended and [good enough](good_enough.md) for most programs.

ASCII is the [suckless](suckless.md)/[LRS](lrs.md)/[KISS](kiss.md) character encoding, recommended and [good enough](good_enough.md) for most programs.
 
 The ASCII standard assigns a 7 [bit](bit.md) code to each basic text character which gives it a room for 128 characters -- these include lowercase and uppercase [English](english.md) alphabet, decimal digits, other symbols such as a question mark, comma or brackets, plus a few special control characters that represent instructions such as carriage return which are however often obsolete nowadays. Due to most computers working with 8 bit bytes, most platforms store ASCII text with 1 byte per character; the extra bit creates a room for **extending** ASCII by another 128 characters (or creating a variable width encoding such as [UTF-8](utf8.md)). These extensions include unofficial ones such as VISCII (ASCII with additional Vietnamese characters) and more official ones, most notably [ISO 8859](iso_8859.md): a group of standards by [ISO](iso.md) for various languages, e.g. ISO 88592-1 for western European languages, ISO 8859-5 for Cyrillic languages etc.
 
-The ordering of characters has been kind of cleverly designed to make working with the encoding easier, for example digits start with 011 and the rest of the bits correspond to the digit itself (0000 is 0, 0001 is 1 etc.).
+The ordering of characters has been kind of cleverly designed to make working with the encoding easier, for example digits start with 011 and the rest of the bits correspond to the digit itself (0000 is 0, 0001 is 1 etc.). Corresponding upper and lower case letters only differ in the 6th bit, so you can easily convert between upper and lower case by negating it as `letter ^ 0x20`. { I think there is a few missed opportunities though, e.g. in not putting digits right before letters. That way it would be very easy to print hexadecimal (and all bases up to a lot) simply as `putchar('0' + x)`. ~drummyfish }

-Backpropagation, or backprop, is an [algorithm](algorithm.md), based on the chain rule of derivation, used in training [neural networks](neural_network.md); it computes the partial derivative (or [gradient](gradient.md)) of the function of the network's error so that we can perform a [gradient descent](gradient_descent.md), i.e. update the weights towards lowering the network's error. It computes the analytical derivative (theoretically you could estimate a derivative numerically, but that's not so accurate and can be too computationally expensive).

-Backpropagation is based on the **chain rule**, a rule of derivation that equates the derivative of a function composition (functions inside other functions) to a product of derivatives. This is important because by converting the derivatives to a product we will be able to **reuse** the individual factors and so compute very efficiently and quickly.
+Could we do this without backpropagation? Yes -- we can use [numerical](numerical.md) algorithms to estimate derivatives, the simplest one would be to just try to change each weight, one by one, by some small number, let's say *dw*, and see how much such change changes the output error. I.e. we would sample the error function in all directions which could give us an idea of the slope in each direction. However this would be pretty slow, we would have to reevaluate the whole neural network as many times as there are weights. Backpropagation can do this much more efficiently.

 ## Undefined/Unspecified Behavior
 
-Undefined, unspecified and implementation-defined behaviors are kinds of unpredictable and sometimes non-intuitive behavior of certain operations that may differ between compilers, platforms or runs because they are not defined by the language specification; this is mostly done on purpose as to allow some implementation freedom which allows implementing the language in a way that is most efficient on given platform. This behavior may be completely random (unpredictable) or implementation-specified (consistent within each implementation but potentially different between implementations). In any case, one has to be very careful about letting such behavior influence computations. Note that tools such as [cppcheck](cppcheck.md) can help find undefined behavior in code. Description of some of these behaviors follow.

@@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ These are mainly for [C](c.md), but may be usable in other languages as well.
 - **What's fast on one platform may be slow on another**. This depends on the instruction set as well as on compiler, operating system, available hardware, [driver](driver.md) implementation and other details. In the end you always need to test on the specific platform to be sure about how fast it will run. A good approach is to optimize for the weakest platform you want to support -- if it runs fasts on a weak platform, a "better" platform will most likely still run it fast.
 - **Mental calculation tricks**, e.g. multiplying by one less or more than a power of two is equal to multiplying by power of two and subtracting/adding once, for example *x * 7 = x * 8 - x*; the latter may be faster as a multiplication by power of two (bit shift) and addition/subtraction may be faster than single multiplication, especially on some primitive platform without hardware multiplication. However this needs to be tested on the specific platform. Smart compilers perform these optimizations automatically, but not every compiler is high level and smart.
 - **Else should be the less likely branch**, try to make if conditions so that the if branch is the one with higher probability of being executed -- this can help branch prediction.
+- **You can save space by "squeezing" variables** -- this is a space-time tradeoff, it's a no brainer but nubs may be unaware of it -- for example you may store 2 4bit values in a single `char` variable (8bit data type), one in the lower 4bits, one in the higher 4bits (use bit shifts etc.). So instead of 16 memory-aligned booleans you may create one `int` and use its individual bits for each boolean value. This is useful in environments with extremely limited RAM such as 8bit Arduinos.
 - **You can optimize critical parts of code in [assembly](assembly.md)**, i.e. manually write the assembly code that takes most of the running time of the program, with as few and as inexpensive instructions as possible (but beware, popular compilers are very smart and it's often hard to beat them). But note that such code loses [portability](portability.md)! So ALWAYS have a C (or whatever language you are using) [fallback](fallback.md) code for other platforms, use [ifdefs](ifdef.md) to switch to the fallback version on platforms running on different assembly languages.
 - **[Parallelism](parallelism.md) ([multithreading](multithreading.md), [compute shaders](compute_shader.md), ...) can astronomically accelerate many programs**, it is one of the most effective techniques of speeding up programs -- we can simply perform several computations at once and save a lot of time -- but there are a few notes. Firstly not all problems can be parallelized, some problem are sequential in nature, even though most problems can probably be parallelized to some degree. Secondly it is hard to do, opens the door for many new types of bugs, requires hardware support (software simulated parallelism can't work here of course) and introduces [dependencies](dependency.md); in other words it is huge [bloat](bloat.md), we don't recommend parallelization unless a very, very good reason is given. Optional use of [SIMD](simd.md) instructions can be a reasonable midway to going full parallel computation.
 - **Specialized hardware (e.g. a [GPU](gpu.md)) astronomically accelerates programs**, but as with the previous point, portablity and simplicity greatly suffers, your program becomes bloated and gains dependencies, always consider using specialized hardware and offer software fallbacks.

-**Where to browse Usenet for free?** Search for Usenet archives, I've found some sites dedicated to this, also [Internet archive](internet_archive.md) has some newsgroups archived. [Google](google.md) has Usenet archives on a website called "Google groups" (now sadly requires login). There is a nice archive at https://www.usenetarchives.com.

 - **[Citizendium](citizendium.md)**: can offer a different angle of view from Wikipedia.
 - **non-SJW forks of Wikipedia**: to get past SWJ censorship/propaganda on Wikipedia try e.g. [infogalactic](infogalactic.md) or [metapedia](metapedia.md).
 - **Britannica online**: proprietary, but articles are nicely written, facts are in the public domain so we can steal them.
+- **Archives: [Internet Archive](internet_archive.md), [Archive Team Wiki](https://wiki.archiveteam.org/), [archive.li](https://archive.li/), ...**: Most information once available on the Internet is most likely no longer accessible nowadays (taken down, privatized, censored, no longer indexed, ...). Look in the archives!
 - **[wikiwikiweb](wikiwikiweb.md)**
-- **[Wiby](wiby.md)**: this will find nice sites of tech nerds that Google won't show among first results
+- **[Wiby](wiby.md), marginalia and other non-commercial search engines**: this will find nice small non-commercial sites of tech and other nerds that Google suffocates under bloatsites (or simply censors)
 - **[Project Gutenberg](gutenberg.md)**: mostly older books but there are already some computer related books like [RMS's](rms.md) biography or [Jargon File](jargon_file.md)
 - **University theses** (and scientific paper of course): many university theses are publicly accessible and usually nicely sum up topics, bachelor level theses may be better understandable than PhD/master theses.
 - **Slides**: slides from various presentations are actually great resources as they condense the topic into its main points, they filter out the piles of noise.
 - **Wikisource** and **Wikibooks**
 - **[Metapedia](metapedia.md)**, **[Infogalactic](infogalactic.md)** etc.

-- **[Internet Archive](internet_archive.md)**: A lot of things can be found on the old web that today drown in the bloat of shitsites, also Internet Archive has archives of various forums etc.
+- **[books](book.md)**: Books are still of higher quality than online sources so you can [pirate](piracy.md) some and steal some facts from them. Check out libgen, torrents etc.
 - **[YouTube](youtube.md)**: Yes, sadly this is nowadays one of the biggest sources of information which is unfortunately hidden in videos full of ads and retarded zoomers, the information is unindexed. If you are brave enough, you can dig this information out and write it here as a proper text. 
 - Try searching with different search engines than just Google (wiby, marginalia, Yandex, Bing, Yahoo, Internet Archive, ...).
 - **Non-web**: When web fails, you can search the [darknet](darknet.md), [gopher](gopher.md), [gemini](gemini.md), [usenet](usenet.md), [tor](tor.md) etc.
