File Format Posters
- oever 9y agoAwesome! Where can I buy the book?
- jwcrux 9y agoI'm a big fan of these posters! I even made something similar to show the format of the Tor consensus [0] [0] http://jordan-wright.com/blog/images/blog/how_tor_works/consensus.png http://jordan-wright.com/blog/images/blog/how_tor_works/cons...
- Tempest1981 9y agoNice! What tool, and technique, did you use to create this?
- billdybas 9y agoWow! These are pretty cool.
- barsonme 9y agoedit: I just noticed the author has a link to order prints from him/her, that's definitely the more polite option: http://www.redbubble.com/people/ange4771 http://www.redbubble.com/people/ange4771 It also seems to be less expensive than options like Office Depot, too. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get these printed as full-sized posters?
- dpedu 9y agoI'm sure there's other options but I've used Office Depot to do this in the past. Submit online and they mail it to you.
- barsonme 9y agoI did not know Office Depot did prints, thanks!
- minikites 9y agoMost print/copy shops have wide format printers.
- semiquaver 9y agoFrom the readme in the parent directory: http://prints.corkami.com/ http://prints.corkami.com/
- barsonme 9y agoFunny enough, I edited my comment at just about the same time you posted this comment :-)
- problems 9y agoThey have a very fancy version of the PE one on there too. It may be necessary for me to own it.
- digikata 9y agoReminds me of the MPEG-2 transport stream poster: http://in.tek.com/poster/mpeg-poster-dvb http://in.tek.com/poster/mpeg-poster-dvb If he runs out of file formats, he could move on to protocols...
- jamescostian 9y ago> he What makes you use that pronoun? I looked at their github and it looks like their name is "Ange", which is a female name AFAIK
- orf 9y agoIt's a German guy, and the name is for boys and girls. Here's a video by him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vg7LPcFUxg8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vg7LP... Angle
- jamescostian 9y agoAh, you're right
- digikata 9y agoWhew, thank Bayes!
- delroth 9y agoFrench :) The accent is quite recognizable.
- CyberDildonics 9y agoThis is offtopic recreational outrage
- DougN7 9y ago"Recreational outrage" is my new favorite phrase :)
- 9y ago
- woliveirajr 9y ago> https://github.com/corkami/pics/blob/master/binary/CryptoModes.png https://github.com/corkami/pics/blob/master/binary/CryptoMod... This one is great. Nothing as using crypto wrong so that it becomes useless.
- anjc 9y agoVery cool
- jug 9y agoWhat! I always thought .SWF was for "ShockWave Flash", not Small Web Format. Ha, a bit late to learn though.
- glitch 9y agoIn all reality, it was originally named after Shockwave Flash, but the extension meaning was retcon'd to Small Web Format to avoid confusion with Shockwave.
- chillingeffect 9y agoback before 2000, it really was important to know file formats. we didn't use libraries. we looked up the formats in books and implemented fresh code every time. I prided myself on having memorized most of the .wav header, enough that i didn't need a reference. Then, I learned .fig. Then, I worked on understanding .jpg. Nowadays, with widespread APIs, the file formats' significance is almost irrelevant! In theory, only a single person in the world needs to know any file format. Everyone else can use a library they've written. my how the world changes :)
- alexott 9y agoThere are different tasks, not everywhere the libraries could be applicable - because of different constraints, like, memory consumption, performance, etc. For example, For many years I developed and maintained several libraries for high performance media type detection - libraries aren't applicable there. Similarly is for Dara extraction - sometimes you need to have tradeoffs between performance and other parameters, while libraries are optimized for average case.
- nradov 9y agoIf only that were true. Yet as far as I can determine there is no available Java library which allows for full reading and writing of the JPEG/EXIF file format. There are a number of Java libraries which allow for reading and encoding JPEG image data but none of them offer complete support for the metadata. The JPEG/EXIF format itself is a mess, just a completely horrible design. It's one of those old-school file formats like MS Word .doc which isn't so much of a "format" as modern programmers commonly understand the term but more like a straight dump of memory chunks into a file. That's not so bad if you're programming in C but surprisingly difficult in higher-level safe languages like Java.
- 40acres 9y agoGreat stuff but the font is comical.
- jff 9y agoWell, it looks to be heavily influenced by XKCD (both the font and the overall concept) so yes, literally comical :)
- npgatech 9y agoDoes anyone know what font is used in the main code in the following image? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corkami/pics/master/binary/CLASS.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corkami/pics/master/binary...
- NuSkooler 9y agoThis is excellent, thanks a lot for sharing!
- dluan 9y agoIt would be awesome to have a file poster of itself. For when one day we run out of electricity and hand-translate bits.
- westmeal 9y agoThank you so much. I need to write a program that creates png files from arbitrary data so this will certainly come in handy!
- ardivekar 9y ago> gif.png This made me chuckle.
- rinon 9y agoWe have two of these prints up in our office. I highly recommend them, even if just as decoration.
