          That weird ass explanation with switches and "one of the most important numbers" still sounds absolutely clueless.

          Still, it works well for "normies"...

            Numbers guy here, I can confirm 256 is an evenly specific number, and not an oddly specific number.

              As a software engineer: actually there is no need for a number of people as a power of 2 unless you need exactly 1 byte to store such information which sounds ridiculous for the size of Whatsapp

                Unless it's lua, then screw anyone programming with it.

                Have to use lua for my current project and the 1-based indexing is really screwing with me.

                  I hate this. I love this.

                  If I ever make a game I might put stuff like this in it.

                  Having made a few games back in the day, this isn't something you add on purpose, this is something that you screwed up, are going to "fix later", then realize it's too much hassle to rewrite 45% of your code and you just raise the minimum spec requirements a bit to compensate.

                    It’d make sense at protocol level. Otherwise, yeah, even bit-size database columns end up being stored as a word unless the engine compacts it.
