Add EBCDIC support to VSCode's Hexedit inspector
VSCode의 Hexedit 확장 기능에 EBCDIC 문자 인코딩 지원이 추가되었습니다. 이 기능은 바이너리 파일을 검사할 때 EBCDIC 인코딩을 함께 볼 수 있도록 데이터 인스펙터에 EBCDIC 라인을 추가하는 업데이트입니다. EBCDIC 지원은 이전에도 요청된 바 있으며, 특정 환경에서 중요한 기능으로 평가됩니다. 이번 업데이트는 EBCDIC 037 변환 테스트도 포함하여 기능의 정확성을 보장합니다.

One can tell when it is a *proper* dad joke when it is punctuated with long dashes and ellipses.

And when it does not break character, by sticking to EBCDIC instead of using … and —.

Here's a computing history factoid:

The U.S.A. didn't delete all of the accents, diacritics, and suchlike from its placenames in the late 20th century because of spelling reform zealotry.

It did so because the BGN's new Geographic Names Information System was stored in data files that were encoded in EBCDIC, which lacked the characters that the existing names used.

They actually planned to fix it up, but the whole three phases roadmap for the GNIS got knocked sideways when Congress curtailed the funding a decade or so in.

Yes, *not* ASCII.

Or is it called #EBCDIC art?

Last week I held a talk at @boosterconf about the weird world of character encoding and the experience of having a name with characters outside the first 127 bytes of ascii. The video is available - https://vimeo.com/924291827
