What if I have over 1000 tabs open?

Probably because it’s only four bytes of data, and counting/extracting bits takes more cpu time than one AND operation.
Most CPU’s are optimised to work with whole integers (32/64 bit) rather than individual bits.

If memory was a serious concern you could compress it down to one byte as a ‘number of 1s’ counter at the cost of additional cpu operations, but because 3 extra bytes is such a small amount of data, this memory/time trade off isn’t worth it in most systems.

It’d be useful if you wanted to compress some data logs or something with many subnet masks though.

Fuck off with your xenophobia-biased opinions.

If you actually spent any amount of time communicating with people in Russia, you’d realise the overwhelming majority are not genocidal imperialists.

The overwhelming majority of Russians I’ve spoken to do not support the ongoing war, and would prefer if Ukraine was left alone.

I’d be interested in seeing where you’re pulling these extrapolated statistics from, including the demographics of the people who were surveyed.

If 7/10 Texans oppose abortion, does that mean 70% of the country believe the same thing?

Is that really something that came from the black community though? It was around before North America was colonised.

Rust is great, but anybody developing something should have the ability to choose whatever programming language they prefer. If you want it made with rust, make it yourself.

Is it also child abuse to give your kid a name? My evil parents brainwashed me into believing I was a James.
