The 8-bit Intel 8051 family provides a dedicated bit-addressable memory space (addresses 20h-2Fh in internal RAM), giving 128 directly addressable bits. Used them for years. I’d imagine many microcontrollers have bit-width variables.
bit myFlag = 0;
Or even return from a function:
bit isValidInput(unsigned char input) { // Returns true (1) if input is valid, false (0) otherwise return (input >= '0' && input <= '9'); }
Worst part of this is 4-space indents. Damn script kiddies.
Please try kagi.
Not saying it’s you, but some people that think paying for Search is silly have forgotten how wonderful clean searches with actual answers are.
I totally came to say this. Google has become designed to tarpit you into staying on the site longer. They no longer have the goal of giving you what you want quickly, they want you to see more ads.
Google makes $307/yr. per user. They are strongly motivated to tarpit us. If we want a clean search experience we need to be open to the idea of paying.
As an embedded systems dev that searches a lot of obscure stuff, I use Kagi and love it. Go try its free searches and see for yourself.
If you value your time and mental stability, please do yourself a favor and go see what clean, high quality search results look like on Kagi.
I use kagi as well and love it. Worth every dime.
People that say they can’t see themselves paying for Search underestimate the value of clean high quality search results.
I’m a business owner and developer of firmware for esoteric products. I need high quality, powerful searches that don’t waste my time. Kagi is great for that. I created lenses on Kagi that I can use to focus my searches, a great time saver for me.
I’m using kagi as well and have been very pleased with it.

I meant faster than Python, not faster than Rust. Rust is fast.
Nevermind that the C++ program is two orders of magnitude faster when completed.
I would love to learn and use Rust but I’m a embedded systems guy. Everything of consequence is C and C++.
Having cut my teeth on MS-DOS 3.0 in a 4.77MHz PC with a monochrome monitor, two floppy drives and no hard disk, it was drilled into me early to save, save, save. It’s just muscle memory for me now.
Writing a whole paper without saving is unimaginable to me.
AKschually, thumbs aren’t fingers.
Trigger warning:
I have an HP inkjet printer attached to my Windows 11 machine playing YouTube Premium in Chrome without an ad blocker.
Edit: it’s a joke, people.
I thought the same when I saw it. That’s not a DB-9. Harumph!
Yeah, I remember when this happened. Few people noticed or cared about the picture if her house until she tried to have it removed. Then it was suddenly on every blog site and news agency.
LOL, it has a case. How is that ghetto?
I think the point is that such a vanishingly small percentage of people know how to do what you suggest (or care at all about privacy yammering) that it’s irrelevant to society’s overall privacy.
I did a multilingual display with an 8031 in 1995 on a 2x16 text LCD. I had 128 bytes of RAM and an EPROM. Did English, Spanish and German.
You kids have it so easy nowadays. 🤣
