Landon Curt Noll ffb738af07 create new status.json model
Changed the model of `status.json` model.

Updated `status.json` IOCCC_status_version from  "0.2 2023-05-22"
to "1.0 2024-03-09".

Updated FAQ 2.6, improving how IOCCC entries announced.

Moved `bin/ioccc-status.sh` to `tmp/ioccc-status.sh`
now that we have a new status.json model for
which this tool no longer fits (sorry tm Canada 🇨🇦).

Added `status.md` markdown to explain the `status.json` model.

Added `status.html` to both display the contents of `status.json`
and render the contents of `status.md` as HTML.

Added `bin/status2html.sh` to convert `status.json`
into HTML for the `status.html` file.

Added `bin/gen-status.sh` to form `status.json`
and `status.html` files.

Added `make gen_status` to top level Makefile.

Performed `make www` to complete all of the above.

<h2 id="judges-remarks">Judges’ remarks:</h2>
<p>This entry confuses some C-preprocessors and some C-beautifiers. We
found one cpp that processed this source differently when it was read on
<code>stdin</code> instead of via <code>cc -E</code>.</p>
<h2 id="authors-remarks">Author’s remarks:</h2>
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
<p>The following short program implements the “Yet Another” algorithm
for generating prime numbers. It will generate all primes up to
33554432, displaying them to the standard output as it churns along. As
33554432 is rather large on most machines, this code may take quite some
time to run to completion, so as an added feature, it will cease
execution upon reception of a signal (any will do equally well), as well
as in the event of a system shutdown or reboot.</p>
<h3 id="bugs">Bugs</h3>
<p>The alternative version (<a href="weisberg.alt.c">weisberg.alt.c</a>)
has never actually run to completion. After running for close to a week
it had reached somewhere around 250e6, when it became necessary to test
the reboot feature (which worked remarkably well). As there are quite a
lot of primes to be found before reaching <code>INT_MAX</code>, the
output produced can be quite overwhelming so it’s recommended to pipe
the output through your favorite pager (<code>more</code> or
<code>less</code>), and not output to a paper output device (unless you
have <em>LOTS</em> of paper).</p>
<h3 id="technical">Technical</h3>
<p>The original “Yet Another Prime Program” algorithm used here was
developed as a Computer Architecture course micro-programming exercise,
and was designed to take full advantage of the UR300 micro-architecture
to achieve blindingly fast speed. It was ported to C specifically for
the IOCCC. In the conversion/obfuscation step some of (much of) the
blazing speed was lost, but as a bonus, the understandability of the
code was reduced to zero.</p>
