I assume the title was targeted at Peteris' normal audience, not web app developers.

From the about: Peteris Krumins’ blog about programming, hacking, software reuse, software ideas, computer security, google and technology.

The purpose of the Hacker News website is to serve past/present/future ycombinator candidates. I'm not even a web app developer, I wrote C code for an $8 processor today.

The title (as submitted by the author of the blog) says "Absolutely Must Know," which is quite hyperbolic.

I would suggest: Basic tricks of bit manipulation.

Consider that this topic is covered in K. N. King's book C Programming: A Modern Approach, in Chapter 20: Low-Level Programming, on page 451
