its_bvisness
Nov 01, 2025
It is distressing how many people in my replies say this is just “an abstraction” or a “simplified explanation”.
Nov 03, 2025
@its_bvisness Some days I am embarrassed that I don't have a CS degree.

@its_bvisness Would this be the reason that Curl has this horrible idea that uploading data (-d --data argument with @) is a fundamentally different feature than the --data-binary argument?
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness I'm just a self taught game dev, so I've never seen this text vs binary thing before.
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness Personally, based on my talks with friends, my problem was that, because I already understood what the difference is, I subconsciously skipped the part that was stupid and just assumed it was right lol
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness Yeah that's not simplified it's just wrong
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness If I may, can I ask if there is a resource or article where I could read the correct representation?
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness How would you specifically (not other people replying) explain it?
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness People have no idea what "abstraction" means either, apparently
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness The age of mobile computing destroyed the abstractions that were natural for PC natives
Nov 02, 2025
@its_bvisness if they think this is a passable abstraction, then they are obviously bad at abstraction and therefore bad at development in the very least.

@its_bvisness You’re overlooking the OS

@its_bvisness Hoping this is a highschool students presentation.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness Too many midwits have gotten into coding.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness Or people think lying for the sake of simplification is ok, which is wrong, at all levels of education.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness I mean
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness What is the actual correct explanation here

@its_bvisness Doesn’t matter.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness It’s fundamentally a mistaking the representation of a thing with the interpretation/usage of a thing.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness all files are either txt or zip, actually
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness as an hs student who hasn't learned much about this kinda stuff, I assume the stupid part is that text files are really just binary files?
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness > Binary designed be read by same type of computer and with same programming language as the computer that created the file
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness Sounds like a lot of mechanical sympathy at the expense of biological sympathy
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness lol.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness This is horrible.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness Many people do actually have religious/magical beliefs about computer science
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness So, how data works? High or low voltage, node, wire, flip-flops, isn't that all (at a fundamental lvl)? One could go even lower but that enters domain of physics.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness >blatantly incorrect and misleading statement
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness You’re 10000% right, but trying to be charitable….
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness OP is a dumb dumb.
Nov 01, 2025
@its_bvisness I interpret this slide to be explaining, in a big-picture way, how DataOutputStream guarantees big-endian i/o for multibyte types regardless of the underlying hardware's endianness.
