I agree. to bystanders, odd autocorrect: it's marshalling. marshalling data. although fight and war are indeed also appropriate associations for binary data

I agree.
to bystanders, odd autocorrect:
it's marshalling. marshalling data. although fight and war are indeed also appropriate associations for binary data exchange (struct conversions) between languages.
- watersb 5y agoI often court martial my data. Not mocking the spelling of the previous post; it's a strange term anyway and in this instance either spelling works.
- dmurray 5y agoTIL martial and marshal are unrelated etymologically, though marshalling data is by analogy with marshalling troops, and related to the military office. Marshal = mariscalcus = "horse servant", compare mare and seneschal. Martial = from Mars, god of war. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/marshal https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/marshal
- froh 5y agoTIL: marshalling == ceremonial arrangement and management of a gathering these CS gals of olde really had a hand for naming :-)
