@luna@pony.social wait,, what would @shaknais @luna I don't think so. That specifies a set of characters that must exist, that they must fit in a byte, and that characters 0-9 must be consecutive and in order. It doesn't mandate that their values match ASCII. I believe EBCDIC would meet the requirements, and it is not ASCII compatible. Not just characters 0-9, but every character in the original ASCII set must exist, and in order, and be represented by a single increment, beginning with 0. EBCDIC compatibility was dropped in C17, as the standards body couldn't find any still in use. (also on my blog: https://moonbase.lgbt/blog/c-mixed-type-arithmetic/ — I’m posting things there more often these days <3) @anselmschueler ...so I know that was a joke but that's actually really hard to achieve without replacing the Deref trait, because of its return type Ok I will stop over thinking this now 😁 @scarcraft it's Comic Code by Toshi Omagari: https://fonts.ilovetypography.com/fonts/tabular-type-foundry/comic-code @fay59 oh this is just the font I use for my shell anyways, I didn't choose it for the shitpost @luna totally unrelated, sorry, but I’ve gotta ask — what font’re you using? :anja_adormiras: @luna brb trying to explain to the villagers why they need to bring flaming torches and pitchforks (brilliant work, so underhanded it does exactly what you expect it to) @luna Staring at this very confused until I realised I was thinking in hex and not decimal @luna yegads, I'm on my phone and now I'm trying to simulate a C compiler in my head, make it stooooop 😵💫 |
@luna you know, sometimes I'm really in awe at how adept people can become at cursed C.
