and yes i did come up with this entirely on my own
@eniko thank you for sharing. I'm about to embark on some OS research that's probably going to need me to distinctively mark memory locations by setting it to an easily identified pattern. This will work beautifully.
@overeducatedredneck nice ๐Ÿ˜Š

@eniko sadly we can't get "D34DP0RK" in hexadecimal
@barkerjr @MachineLordZero @eniko for 64-bit, badc0ffeebadf00d

@barkerjr @MachineLordZero @eniko btw on a LE system either the true 0x constant is unreadable, or your hexedit dumps won't look very cool.

which in the case of 0x1213abac, is an asset

@eniko I don't have the 1312 reference?
@gkrnours @eniko think of the position of letters in the alphabet
@gkrnours 1312 just means ACAB, the numbers correspond to the letters in the alphabet
@eniko obviously, thanks
@eniko I never realized those fit! Time to change my habits
@eniko Iโ€™ve just pushed this to git and cited your work. Thank you.

@theunixman yesssss

is it public? can i see?

@eniko Iโ€™m afraid Iโ€™m working for a very strict master so all I can do is say it happened haha
@theunixman fair enough ๐Ÿ˜Š
@theunixman @eniko is the original post gone? Since I bookmarked this one and now donโ€™t remember what exactly it was you pushed to git and I wanted to commit to some of my stuff as wellโ€ฆ

Well, not necessarily. But after a few hours last night I had a crazy headache that I ended up getting out of bed to take advil for. ;)  ...

@eniko the judges would also have accepted 0xACABBABE

@d6 @eniko I don't understand. I feel so disconnected!

What happened to 0xC0FFEE3D?

@d6 @eniko although I recognise it may be me.

According to GH search: 0xc0ffee3d 27 results vs 0xc0ffee 12.7K results.

I'm defeated.

@d6 oh that ain't bad either
@eniko This rocks. Hopefully one day the authoritarians will finally be 0xDEFEA7ED.

@eniko @InvertedLina

0x6675636B

I'll give you a moment.

@rootwyrm @eniko @InvertedLina That took me too long, for me to admit. I need more coffee....
@eniko Omg hadn't thought about the fact that I can use ACAB in IPv6 addresses ๐Ÿ˜

@eniko Thank you for this magic number! I just pushed a change to one of my libraries, where I wanted to switch from the OS RNG to a static seed in the benchmarks, and needed a magic number.

0xACAB1312 is a great magic number.

Cookie monster!

@eniko I occasionally need a static uuid for tests at work. I wonder if I could get away with sneaking this in somewhere
@eniko Iโ€™m in but how do I express this in Emoji? ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿฎ is easy
