00:55 asciilifeform verisimilitude: the analogy is spurious -- checks win not-bombing. what does turning the bytes around win ?
01:04 verisimilitude It wins consistency.
~ 45 minutes ~
01:49 * asciilifeform suspects that if 'little' had won, verisimilitude would still want to turn'em around
01:49 asciilifeform err, 'big'
01:50 asciilifeform i.e. wants not 'consistency' but tamerlan's 'see enemies driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women...' -- which is a legit desire but imho oughta be made explicit.
01:51 verisimilitude Don't use the truth against me.
01:51 asciilifeform lol
01:51 verisimilitude Joking aside, I prefer big endian because it matches how the integers are written.
01:51 asciilifeform i.e. in hexdump? indeed does
01:52 verisimilitude We write the most significant digit first, yes.
01:52 * asciilifeform wonders whether the arabs have 'reversed' hexdumps
01:53 verisimilitude People should be more comfortable reading in multiple ways, really.
01:53 verisimilitude I can read either, but I like little endian less.
01:54 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-06-04#1104729 << what happened to the old 'hyperrockets will sink all carriers in 5min after war breaks out' notion ?

03:05 asciilifeform dafuq's the point of building'em (other than 'boondoggle')
03:05 verisimilitude Look at the ``ghost cities''.
03:05 asciilifeform consistent.
01:54 * asciilifeform lives where 'fake construction' endemic, mega-crew closes all but 1 lane of road, grinding traffic to snail's pace, and pretends to lay new asphalt. for years on end. someone pockets the diff, converts to yachts.
01:58 verisimilitude Where I live, they actually lay the new asphalt.
01:58 verisimilitude I've actually seen it.
01:58 * asciilifeform remembers when occasionally actually saw new asphalt
~ 38 minutes ~
02:37 mats asciilifeform: china has more hyperrockets
02:38 mats and taiwan doesn't have any
~ 16 minutes ~
02:55 verisimilitude China claims to have these rockets.
03:09 asciilifeform mats: at some pt both sides will have similar rocket, neh
03:11 * asciilifeform suspects carrier is a 'ceremonial' item at any rate
03:17 verisimilitude Ideally, one side has all of the rockets.
03:18 verisimilitude That is, one side has all of its rockets unfired, and all of the other side's rockets used.
~ 2 hours 13 minutes ~
05:31 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-06-04#1104687 The only reasonable solution is to postpone a numerical format for as long as possible. I already knew this, but still. I can see ways this could be so much simpler, but it requires infrastructure I'd need to write, and it would be plain unpleasant in Ada.
05:31 dulapbot Logged on 2022-06-04 01:34:02 verisimilitude: Just disregard me; this sucks in general anyway. Damn near every time I need to get data into a program from a format, it's the most complicated and fragile part of the program.

11:07 crtdaydreams I appreciate the thought though.
~ 8 hours 35 minutes ~
19:43 verisimilitude This is neat.
~ 2 hours 26 minutes ~
22:09 asciilifeform verisimilitude: sadly in interesting redactions (e.g. official nsa censored releases) they redact with scissors & scanner. ( because linked approach rather obv.)
22:10 asciilifeform verisimilitude: at one time asciilifeform considered 'could infer contents from compression artifacts?' but not had time to investigate.
