(I'm asking because it's super annoying that some pseudo-smart people come up with an oh-so-clever approach of "look ma, I have detected AI slop" over and over again, when all they actually do is piss people off who write by hand.)
The (minor, but still) optimization that is enabled by assuming _Bool can contain only 1 or 0 is that negating a boolean value can be with x^1, without requiring a conditional.
That being said, for just testing the value, using the zero/nonzero test that every (?) cpu has is enough; I'm not sure what is achieved here with this more complex test.
C has no particularly strong type system, and it works on typical platforms with all types up to the introduction of _Bool. And maybe float/double, but I think it gives a NaN.
The next generation is steeped in the elder's propaganda since birth, through YouTube and TikTok. There's only the small in–between generation who grew up learning computers that hadn't been enshittified yet.
The first application of the term "computer" was humans doing math with an abacus and slide ruler.
Turing machines and bits are not the only viable model. That little in-between generation only knows a tiny bit about "computing" using machines IBM and Apple, Intel, etc, propagandized them into buying. All computing must fit our model machine!
Different semantics but same idea as my point about DevOps.
Re-read and think about what was written - the 2s aren'tcoming from the line managers, you're barking up the wrong tree in the stack ranking process. I just explained that stack ranking gets scaled and adjusted by the brass, and I just in this example rated everyone a 4 and 5.
Again, as an older manager today, I can see myself in my 20s in the resistance and stubbornness to 'how corporations work' espoused in comments like yours. I sympathize, but I warn you against being naive and ideological, because unfortunately human groups be human groups, and organizations for better or for worse behave in predictable patterns. You might as well know as much as possible so you can deal with it better.
You shouldn't lose an ASN or PI block, they are registered to you at RIPE, only managed by the LIR and can be transferred to another LIR in exceptional or routine circumstances. I think you'll have to pay another fee though.
A PA block is just part of a LIR's block that they give you permission to use, so I doubt you could keep that if they went out of business, but maybe RIPE has a procedure for it.
The realistic point is to have your own abuse email contact, to evade the banhappy policies that most server hosts have even when you did nothing wrong. Usually they suspend your account if you don't reply within 24 hours, even if the complaint is obvious nonsense.
