I gave a talk this week and it went really well and the main thing I want to share with you from it is that I referred to an int as “just 64 booleans in a trench coat” and I’m proud of that one.

@inthehands Recon that depends on where you are, pal. In my day they only had 32 booleans in there; hell, down some more primitive parts they’d just put in 16 or even 8, though we’ve done come a bit farther now.

We heard some tales of locales where they’d have more but us, we had to accomplish that sort of thing in shifts.

Back in my day, we only had sport coats for stacking booleans
