16:07:35alandipertshould i put citations at the end of sentences before or after the period?
16:08:28beachTough one. I do it before the period, but not only at the end of the sentence.
16:08:45beachAlso, it *should* work like a parenthetical remark.
16:09:12beachLike "In is his article on blabla [1], such and such talks about..."
16:09:29beachRather than "In [1] such and such talks about.."
16:09:38alandipertright, thanks, i think i probably can do more of that
16:09:42beachBut this rule is frequently violated.
16:10:54alandipertother than the templates and styles, is there anything like an ACM style guide?
16:11:13alandiperta technical writing style guide that is... that's worth reading
16:11:33beachNot for the language part. Only for things like page layout, bibliography style, etc.
16:11:50beachYou get that automatically if you use the right LaTeX style.
16:12:45alandipertcool, yeah, i used latex things i downloaded from the acm site
16:35:10froggeybeach: (commenting on something from yesterday) Mezzano has enough hand-written assembly to run, I don't like to add assembly functions without good reason
16:35:48froggeyas an example, making the compiler emit all the code for apply instead of having a single assembly function implement it ends up being a negative. functions end up being bloated by redundant copies of it and it causes a bit of a slowdown
