Hah! I'm glad you replied so I can say thanks for your kind comment earlier.
Thank you.
And this is indeed something intentional. I continue to explore the community, as well as trying to provide value. I don't duplicate things unless I think there is genuine value, and this is (a) very old, (b) really cool, and (c) genuinely hacking.
Thanks for noticing. More details if you email me, but I've got a large backlog at the moment so won't reply immediately.
How long is it before you can dupe something? A while back, I tried to submit a cool little list of bit hacks, only to find out that the exact same thing had been submitted years ago.
I guess many people probably know about it, but it's a pretty nice list of low level bit hacks:
I guess no one can submit that list of bit hacks ever again, unless the dupe-catcher is changed or someone figures out a way to access it from an alternate URL (the site says we're not free to mirror it, even if we're free to use the hacks).

Not a dupe:
The other thread's url: betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-quakes-fast-inverse-square-root/
This's url: betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-quakes-fast-inverse-square-root
One character as difference: the final slash.
Good catch!

Maybe it'd still be seen as a dupe, but you could try http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html?dupe=1
Your welcome. Will do.
