@RichFelker@matthew_d_green Standards are sometimes-necessary evils. But the process is invariably awful. -
@tqbf@matthew_d_green As imperfect as Unicode is, I'm damn glad we still don't have random mixed 8-bit codepages. -
@tqbf@matthew_d_green As imperfect as W3C is, I'm damn glad we don't still have "Best viewed with MSIE 6.0!" -
@tqbf@matthew_d_green As imperfect as POSIX is, I'm glad we're finally starting to put#ifdef __FOO_OS__ to rest. -
@RichFelker@tqbf@matthew_d_green IEEE-754 is a mess, but better *in every way* than the previous status quo. -
