It would be slower to read the value if you had to also do bitwise operations to get the value.

But you can also define your own bitfield types to store booleans packed together if you really need to. I would much rather that than have the compiler do it automatically for me.

There’s a reason my CS department had to ban food from the computer lab.

Know a guy who tried to use AI to vibe code a simple web server. He wasn’t a programmer and kept insisting to me that programmers were done for.

After weeks of trying to get the thing to work, he had nothing. He showed me the code, and it was the worst I’ve ever seen. Dozens of empty files where the AI had apparently added and then deleted the same code. Also some utter garbage code. Tons of functions copied and pasted instead of being defined once.

I then showed him a web app I had made in that same amount of time. It worked perfectly. Never heard anything more about AI from him.

“no, having a meeting about it won’t help, it will just waste my time that I could be using to figure out the problem.”

This describes literally every python contract job I’ve ever had.

I’ve never heard of any badger song.

It’s a joke omg

This comment is completely irrational. The fahrenheit temperature is in a screenshot of a text message that was sent in the US. The only temperature in the message you replied to that isn’t in the screenshot is in Celsius. How is that “American exceptionalism”?

Looks like the kidnapper also stole the null terminator for this string!

What the hell are you talking about
