No C programmer can call himself (or herself) a real programmer without having seen (and been amazed by) Duff's Device. It was invented as a more efficient alternative to regular loop unrolling used in copying bytes from memory to a register (each byte went to the same address in memory), by handling the case when there are "leftover" bytes after a full unroll.

Additionally, it can now compute the dates of posts or comments based on local sunset time. That way, comments made in the evening will be assigned the the proper Hebrew date!
