I'm an autodidact and I have programmed in C for one year now, but never studied this topic. Apart from operating systems or embedded systems, when do we need to manipulate bits in 21st century ? If you could give some examples...

I love the C standard guys. The language is dying because the standard library is bullshit (it's made of useless, limited, old hack and OH EXPLOITABLE, with a double dose of overflow), Unicode support is mediocre (they barely even mention it in C99 and leave it up to the compiler and your imagination), and they're working on complex numbers and such shit. Fags. Get a real stdlib that will make C useful, it doesn't even have standard threads for fuck's sake. Then you can worry about stupid complex numbers.
