Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️just found some code that says "'endian': True"
someone needs to ban programmers from booleans
Rairii@foone what endianness is this?
"yes"
"yes"
Riley S. Faelan@foone: "endian: rare"
Ian@foone Big, if true 😆
relsqui@thunderbird32 @foone actually lol'd
Reed Mideke@foone In non-endian architectures, the bytes are just dumped in a big pile
Pete Alex Harris🦡🕸️🌲/∞🪐∫@reedmideke @foone non-endian is where you just add up the bytes. Who needs numbers bigger than 510 really.

dani little ponie 
@foone the one true endian style
shork
Ms. Penny Oaken
9th level spell slut@foone yes, this is endian
Olivia W'@foone Which is worse: using a boolean with unclear meanings for true/false, or using a pointer to a boolean so you can treat null pointer as a distinct third value?
Catelyn
Stephen Hoffman@foone Too few programming languages support ternary, which means another bit to represent PDP-11 middle-endian encoding.
Or is that represented with the the seldom-encountered ‘endian’: maybe?
Joey Rees-Hill@foone I suppose endian: False indicates endian-free code
🇺🇦 haxadecimal 🚫👑
Andrew@foone well, are the bytes endless?
Shiz@foone least obfuscated way to indicate a pure 8-bit CPU
Lothus Marque@foone I was always partial to a three-way option myself. True, False, and File Not Found.
You just NEVER know when you'll need to tell somebody that you don't know if something was true or false because the file wasn't found. ESPECIALLY if you're on Windows where not everything is a file. 😇

sometimes ian@foone the one true byte order
Hello, yes, this is Gregly@foone I’m more of an infinian myself
I say if the Halting Problem doesn’t let us determine if some bit of code will halt then NONE OF IT SHOULD, EVER
Take that, computer science
Ben Bradley@foone There's gotta be a limerick or something that rhymes endian and boolean.
elle mundy@foone `endian: false` would be beginnian
robinhouston@foone Either that or Ian needs to watch out
Jym Dyer 🚲🌎@foone - Or maybe IDEs should enforce variable name conventions on booleans, like sticking an “is” in front or really old school “p” for “predicate” at the end.
Stu
ator robot@foone alright.
'endian': 1
Tim Kellogg@foone should probably rename that…
`luscious_endian: True`
n * 🦀@foone
'boolean': True
'boolean': True
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛
𒀭𒂗𒆠 ENKI ][e@foone need to write in a language whose operator overloading is so powerful that you can write "endian=>" or "endian=<" and have it work
Simon Frankau@foone I can only hope this language stores "True" as a 1 in a storage type larger than 1 byte.
scarlett@foone woulda been better if "true" was a string ;3
