Everything got better when I became a green-haired 2D girl. I do fun and unusual things with video games and pinball.
cohost inspired me to do more. Thank you

sudden vibes of "M. Crispin, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time"
finally! something to do with those parity bits we never bothered to actually implement error correction hardware for ( this might be a personal problem but also it keeps happening lmao )
bummed it's just 8 bit payloads with a continuation bit, all the neat little tricks that make utf-8 a prefix-coded self-synchronizing encoding that sorts lexically are missing

what nonet machine could POSSIBLY still be relevant in 2005???
yeah I opened this and pogged for exactly long enough to notice the publication date :(
It's my favorite AFD RFC just because while it may be a gag it's a perfectly reasonable technical proposal that could be implemented on a real 18- or 36-bit machine with little trouble, complete with reasonable sample code.
in reply to @nex3's post:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEB128 exists despite the fact that it is basically impossible to ever end up with an executable that needs debug offsets bigger than 64 bits 👍
Reminds me of RV128, just in case somebody needs more than 64 bits of memory, might as well design the instruction set now.
