Now this is the programming I like, low-level assembly optimisation of long operations, none of this web development rubbish

- sophiebits 7y agoYou can certainly enjoy assembly programming, but that doesn’t make web development rubbish.

- diminoten 7y agoI'm the opposite! Yin and yang, we need one another. :D
- panic 7y agoThis is relevant to webdev, though -- binary data in JSON is often encoded as a Base64 string.
- wingi 7y agoWhy use 6-bit data, if JSON can transport 8-bit (-1 for quoting the ") ?
- cryptonector 7y agoByte values that are ASCII control characters need to be escaped, and byte values that are not valid UTF-8 can't be represented in JSON strings.
- Vrixam 7y agoWould this always be valid UTF8?
- conradfr 7y agoAs an anecdote I have a Phoenix LiveView project where I've discovered that loading, converting and sending an (uncacheable) image as base64 via the websocket connection feels quicker and smoother (I didn't benchmark it) than only updating the src path and letting the browser load it (with http1, I would have to compare with http2).
- pantulis 7y agoWell nothing's stopping you from making a living doing this kind of programming. I think the tech landscape is vibrant enough to have fun with it in many different ways!
