Everything About Bitflags: How to store up to 32 booleans in one value?

news.ycombinator.com Igor Klepacki 2025-10-02 17:58:33

When I was younger and I was involved in reverse engineering communities and systems programming, there was this concept called bit flags. They were a standard way of storing a pack of true or false values in ... actually a single value - a function parameter, local variable or entry in some configuration. I found nothing fascinating about that back then and just used it on a regular basis, as every other engineer was. Long time after that and after shifting my focus to web development I just r

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR As previously rumored, the OnePlus 15 is expected to launch with a new in-house imaging engine. This move suggests Hasselblad branding may no longer appear on OnePlus flagships. The change would bring the OnePlus 15 camera process more in line with rivals like Samsung and Google.

When Apple releases the iPhone 17 in a few weeks, the timer will start for the new flagship model breaking a record set 15 years ago. The record will take more than a year to break, but based on current rumors, the iPhone 17 will be the first to steal the crown. iPhone 4 had an unusually long run That record belongs to the iPhone 4, which went on sale in June 2010 and remained Apple’s top iPhone until October 2011.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Leaks suggest Qualcomm is preparing two new top-tier SoCs: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (SM8850) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (SM8845). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is said to feature Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and share the same TSMC process as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Curiously, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 isn’t expected anytime soon.

The Nothing Phone 3 is a fun, flawed, but overall worthy semi-flagship

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-10 16:51:59

Nothing Phone 3 The Nothing Phone 3 tries to be an Android flagship while skipping out on just a few key areas like the chipset and top-end materials. But, with new perks like faster wired charging, improved cameras, and official US carrier support, as well as that signature hardware and software design flair, this is the easiest Nothing Phone to recommend to date. What even is a flagship Android phone these days? Sometimes, I think I know. Other times, I have to shrug and wonder. And yet, not

Brands might be cooling on satellite features, and that’s bad news for cheaper Androids

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Chinese brands are scaling back satellite communication and keeping it for top-end models only. A reliable tipster says past high-end sat-com flagships sold poorly and were dropped. This could make global brands less likely to bring the feature to affordable phones.

The Galaxy S26 Pro might kill the best Samsung phone for most people

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority We’ve heard that Apple is planning to shake up its iPhone lineup this year by dropping the Plus model in favor of a thinner iPhone Air — going from the least-hyped iPhone to what’s sure to be an attention grabber. Samsung, too, introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge to show off a slimmer design on the Android side. But the rest of the S25 lineup? Boring with a capital B. There weren’t enough changes to justify it as a worthwhile early upgrade over the Galaxy S24 ser

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means. But it’s clear that Nothing sees it as its most premium phone yet, which is evident not just through its own messaging but also its starting price. The Phone 3 costs $800—more th

Nothing, a startup from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, has announced its first flagship phone since 2023. The company bills its new Nothing Phone 3 as a "true flagship" device, but it doesn't have the absolute best hardware you can get in a mobile device. Neither does it have the highest price, clocking in at a mere $799. That's shaping up to be a good value, but it's also the highest price yet for a Nothing phone.
