The harsh reality that keeps computer scientists up at night—using an entire byte (8 bits) to store a single boolean value that only needs 1 bit. It's like buying a mansion just to store a single sock. Memory efficiency purists are shedding tears right now, while the rest of us just keep allocating more RAM because "hardware is cheap." Meanwhile, embedded systems developers are having actual nightmares about this wasteful behavior. The true tragedy isn't just the 7 wasted bits—it's that we've all collectively agreed to ignore this digital environmental crime.
