That’s not what all the books are about.

Never. Why would you drop your phone?

If Harry wasn’t a self entitled prick there would be no books.

The fuck are you talking about, kiddo? Read the fucking docs!

No.

Internally it will still read a whole word. Because the CPU cannot read less than a word. And if you read the ARM article you linked, it literally says so.

Thus any compiler worth their salt will align all byte variables to words for faster memory access. Unless you specifically disable such behaviour. So yeah, RTFM :)

Oh no, Linux users are jealous that Windows is the best distro out there!

Anyways…

Sorry, but you’re very confused here.

Lol what? Are you serious? My doctor in Latvia was receiving my X ray from a different hospital over the internet back in 2003, wtf is wrong with America?

I’m a person who doesn’t like to carry stuff. I often leave my home with nothing but keys: music is on my watch, all my payments are on my watch. I don’t need an MP3 player or a phone. The less I carry, the better.

No, it’s not like that. But guess what? The cashier can tell you exactly that! They can boot you out at any point in time without providing any reason.

I don’t remember much about how it works in the UK tbh, I stuck at the same company for over a decade lol.

Important legal documents are signed with a secure digital signature issued by the government. You basically have a physical OTP generator or you’re using a government portal to generate a one off.

That must be some American thing. You don’t quit until you sign a contract in Europe.

No, the offer doesn’t bind parties to sign a contract, it only cements contract details in advance. Both parties can walk away at any point without any explanation.

It’s like a price sticker in the supermarket - it tells you how much something costs and the retailer must respect that. But you are not forced to buy anything upon seeing a sticker.

I haven’t seen wet signatures for over a decade now, man, US lives in a bloody stone age.

It’s not wasteful, it’s faster. You can’t read one byte, you can only read one word. Every decent compiler will turn booleans into words.

They do, that’s the optimisation.

Usually the most effective way is to read and write the same amount of bits as the architecture of the CPU, so for 64 bit CPUs it’s 64 bits at once.

And performance optimisation of a compiler for a 64 bit CPU will realign everything and each boolean will occupy 8 bytes instead.
