- mixmastamyk 8y agoThe Ballmer barrier.
- baroffoos 8y agoThey also got notepad to not blow everything up when opening a file with normal line endings. It still fucks everything up when creating new files though.
- guardian5x 8y agoI guess, with "normal" line endings, you mean <LF> instead of <CR><LF>.
- aerique 8y agoHe means the defacto standard, yes.
- boomlinde 8y agoNot the defacto standard, but plain POSIX. Carriage return + line feed to enter a new line starting at the left margin makes perfect sense mechanically, though, and a lot of systems with ASCII/ASCII-like encodings use some variation of this sequence (e.g. <cr><lf> or <lf><cr>) for "newlines". Of course, in the interest of compatibility I'd prefer if it was one way or another, but I don't think it's fair to say that POSIX is the defacto standard. Lines in network protocols, for example, typically use <cr><lf> as well.
