Apr 18, 2016 at 3:59 comment added Jamal Mod Can users with less than 3k rep even see the migration options? I was unsure, so my answer reflected that by stating that a custom flag is okay for migration for such users.
Apr 18, 2016 at 3:36 comment added Mathieu Guindon Mod I did consider moving it myself, but I couldn't be completely certain whether "The intent is to average a 4x4 chunk" meant that the code did that, or whether it was what the code ought to be doing. I would have posted a comment to ask OP to clarify, but they don't have a CR account - so I decided to err on the "ok" side of the fence, and let the community decide whether they want to keep it around; at worst, it's a new zombie. At best, it gets great answers, tons of votes, OP joins CR and asks more, and later starts reviewing other code, gets hooked up and tells all his friends about CR!

Apr 18, 2016 at 3:18 comment added scottbb re: topicality: it seemed to me the OP was essentially asking how to implement the function using x86 asm statements (specifically, the x86 AVX-extensions instructions). That seems more like a "how do I implement this" rather than "please review my working implementation" type of question. I guess for my own calibration, that's on-topic here? Also, it seemed to me that the question had a better survival chance on SO. Better to get bounced but finally get answers, rather than languish at negative votes, no?
Apr 18, 2016 at 3:13 comment added scottbb Thank you for replying. I appreciate the reasoning, as well as (and most importantly) the distinction between community-voting and moderator involvement (or lack of need for that).
