When we decrease the exponent by 1, we must also multiply the coefficient by 10.
...adding requires binary multiplication in a fucking loop! Regular binary floating point normalisation can be done with a comparator and a barrel shifter. Ditto for BCD (the "real" decimal floating point format), where the shift is in 4-bit digit increments.
With this format integer addition is slower than regular integer addition, and floating-point addition is a lot slower than regular floating-point addition. WTF?

Can someone explain to me why /prog/, /jp/, and maybe some other communities too seem to respect cudder so much? I'm not trying to insult him I'm just curious of exactly what noteworthy things he has actually done.

>>15 Yeah can we have a brief biography of Cudder? Is he a programmer or something?
>>15 I don't remember ever seeing Cudder on /jp/. But it's not like I remember many things.

>>18 I thought I'd seen reference to him in VN translation threads, I was under the impression that he was well known for being able to extract text from games. I'm not really sure because I'm not a pleb eop who needs his VNs translated.

Cudder, have you released the x86 decompiler already? I remember you bragging about that vaporware of yours like 10 years ago!

>>15 I've never seen anybody respect Cudder here. He/she/it is a laughable punching bag.
>>22 Given how things are going, probably never will be, since it's just more ammunition they can use to find bugs and make systems more locked-down against users. Better to leave the vulns that let jailbreaks and so forth work. Insecurity is freedom.
