@mathew thanks for this, I was *just* looking into go's overflow detection behaviour

refreshing the UPS website to see when the print proofs of the debugging zine https://wizardzines.com/zines/debuggin g-guide/ will get here (soon?!?). They still need to cross the border into Canada though.

@fatlimey hmm normally when i'd think about taking the sqrt of an integer, I'd imagine converting it to a float and then taking the square root of that, which wouldn't halve the bits at all (just give an approximate result to the real square root of that integer)

@projectgus @jpm yeah I don't think it's actually possible to implement a generic 1-bit integer Like, what would you do with the other 7 bits of the byte?

@bazzargh @gdinwiddie one big takeaway for me from this thread is that java doesn't have unsigned integers!

@jpm I thought C didn't have a bool type, but people usually use 8-bit integers (set to 0 or 1) to represent booleans

@bnewbold yeah that makes sense. someone else mentioned that some language don’t have unsigned ints

@borland do you have an example of why it might be useful to shift a signed integer?

@patrizia i thought the answer was just “no, the order of bits in a byte can’t change”

@gdinwiddie why would you shift an signed integer? i always assumed shift was only used on unsigned integers

@bnewbold are there good reasons to do bit manipulation on signed integers? (what are they?)
