I remember how I read about functional programming languages for the first time in the August 1985 Byte issue, which I bought as a teenager because it featured a technical rundown of the new Amiga computer. For me in the early 80'e, Byte was a cornucopia of interesting stuff, much like Hacker News today.
(For example there was a whole issue in 1981 on Smalltalk-80, with an introduction by Adele Goldberg, where the Xerox Palo Alto people from the Smalltalk-80 team explain the implementation, the VM etc.)
Every Covid self test I've ever used had two red lines for postive and one red line for negative. Why are there tests out there that need color vision?
For example, Sonos has patented "Method and apparatus for adjusting volume levels in a multi-zone system" and the patent shows an app where you can set volume levels for connected devices:
Wrong. -1 >> 1 produces an implementation-defined value in C.
-1/2 used to also be implementation-defined; C99 started to require truncation toward zero.
That actually makes division unsuitable for simulating bit shifting; you generally want a right shift of a negative quantity to have predictable behavior: either extend the sign, or bring in a zero. Truncating division toward zero doesn't do either; it propagates the sign, until zero is hit.
If you can, avoid signed types if you're working with bit fields.
