definitely going to take out the "it's not the 90s, use 64 bits” line out of this one. I was already unsure about it (because it's obviously not true, you should use whatever size is appropriate for your use case) and from the responses I don't think it's adding much
Mark Sylor@b0rk Sorry to see it go, alas you’re right to remove it.
True story, in 1986 or so we decided to switch to using 64 bits for all counters, even on PDP11s. So it’s not the 70s, use 64 bits.
