Well that’s what happens when you cowardly murder people in the middle of the night and turf them out of their ancestral homeland

No. Or a gun.

Well if you believe it was unprovoked then I can understand why this point of view would be so confusing.

Biden has already started drawing lines though. He has been actively been distinguishing between defensive and offensive use cases and basically saying that US aid isn’t for the latter

When the horror of what Israel has done dawns on them they might want to hand him over themselves.

Of course it’s all bytes. It’s all bytes. That doesn’t change the fact that you need to have some awareness of encoding before those bytes are fully sensible
402.
by rusk 2y ago
There isn’t a UTF-8LE/BE because it is implicitly BE for wide characters. Any byte in a WC sequence cannot meaningfully be interpreted (exc character class, page etc) without its companions, so not just bytes. There is an element of pr
403.
by rusk 2y ago
Endianness etc is a feature of the encoding. Most JSON implementations I’ve used require the raw bytes to first be decoded as such.
404.
by rusk 2y ago
The basic unix tools do account for variable width though. Variable chars are baked into most OS. When you use these commands the decode is implicit.
405.
by rusk 2y ago
UTF-8 is variable width my friend
406.
by rusk 2y ago
Yes. The encoded content is “just bytes” - once decoded it’s logically something else (var char data structured as json) that transcends bytes at the data level.
407.
by rusk 2y ago
I know, but it’s not “just bytes” as per parent comment. You cannot infer the length of the content without decoding it. “By definition” it is variable width character data. I think it’s fair to be pedantic vs a fairly dramatic oversimplifi

My understanding was this would terminate the record unless enclosed by “encapsulators”, whereupon indeed it would be interpreted as literal text. Though defined as CRLF in the RFC, presumably for interoperability, you are typically free to

parsimonius interfaces must have been taken

The problem with CSV is it doesn’t specify encoding at the data layer. Somewhat counterintuitively since it has the word “comma” in its name. No it’s more correctly thought of as a protocol for representing tabular structures as “delimited

by rusk 2y ago
Is json just bytes tho? Doesn’t it allow for variable width encodings?
413.
by rusk 2y ago
I think most people hold RFC-4180 to be the CSV standard, even if it’s not officially a standard. It is sufficiently parametrised to suit all variants while at the same time providing a language and structure that is portable across all. Do

That’s why we have GNU pretty much. There was a big law suit over twenty years ago about this. SCO were suing anyone that made significant contributions to OSS Unix (eg IBM) and I seem to remember it just kind of petering out. But yeah, San

It’s abandonware. If they think they might have a market for it in the future they will like Nintendo assert their copyright if not IANAL you can proceed. But yeah they can legally assert their copyright if they want to so probably best of

I’m wondering how this worked out so well for Apple 15 years later (A/UX notwithstanding of course) - perhaps unix was simply not mature enough at that stage

Yeah except people don’t use computers like that any more. Sorry if that makes you feel “wrankled“

Well you’re really narrowing down the usescases to suit an argument we really don’t even need to have this is boring
