A boolean value only needs 1 bit (on or off) for true or false. However the smallest bit of addressable memory is a byte (8 bits) hence 7 are technically wasted.

For low memory devices you could instead store 8 different Boolean values in one single byte by using bit masking instead

I think in many cases it results in separate discussion over slack, probably between managers but it still often ends up in a follow up meeting.

Nope, all in a teams meeting discussing something, topic diverges or becomes too complicated and is slowing the meeting. Manager says “let’s take this offline” or “we’ll discuss offline”. Keeps the meeting focused but I hate the phrase. It’s not offline because it’ll just be another teams meeting!

I guess it depends on the company, so far mine it’s just making more meetings but keeping the current one focused. I’m fine with that, just hate the expression because it only makes sense if the follow up meeting was in person but we’re all remote

I really wish they’d use drill down instead

Especially if the MVP ends up with a lot of scope creep for features that are not MVP

Let’s take that offline perhaps better as let’s discuss that separately/later.

Double clicking should just be something like “to go into more detail” or something. I get why it happens, easy and quick to say, i just find it so irritating.

Leadership at the company I work for started saying “let’s double click that” to mean let’s go into more detail on that topic. Hate it.

Also “let’s take this offline” which just means let’s have a different meeting about it, it’ll still be online because we’re all remote.

I see your point and do agree greenfield projects can be great for learning new languages but only if the project is simple enough. Browsers are huge and complex, language choice is very important as well as who will be working on it.

I think one of the arguments as well was that building the DOM in rust would have extra challenges as it’s fundamentally very object oriented so having a language suited to OOP would make it easier.

I think there was an interview where that question was asked and after various languages being evaluated it came down to being the language everyone working on it was most familiar with.

I’m looking forward to using it in the future.

Then what do you get to get rid of your spider problem?

That makes me feel sick, thanks.

For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.

My cats just avoided walking on the mat including leaping out of the litter tray throwing cat litter all over the floor so we had to get rid of the mat.

The Windows 24H2 update broke my Bluetooth audio, the sound is completely messed up and makes the system lag a bit. Uninstalled the update, Bluetooth works. The update automatically installed itself again after a few weeks and broke it again but I can no longer uninstall it for some reason.
