Pretty funny how you claim you've been trolled and then go on to
make a bunch of trolling arguments, which seem to imply you have
no idea how a single-byte encoding works. I'm not going to
bother explaining it to you, anyone who knows encodings can
easily figure it out from what I've said so far.
Clearly, we're not seeing what you're seeing here. So instead
of making
general statements about the superiority of your scheme, you
might want
to show us the actual code. So far, I haven't seen anything
that
convinces me that your scheme is any better. In fact, from
what I can
see, it's a lot worse, and you're just evading pointed
questions about
how to address those problems. Maybe that's a wrong
perception, but not
having any actual code to look at, I'm having a hard time
believing your
claims. Right now I'm leaning towards agreeing with Walter that
you're
just trolling us (and rather successfully at that).
When someone makes arguments that fly over your head, that's not
trolling, that's you not understanding what they're saying. I
have demolished every claim that has been made about single-byte
encoding being worse. If you can't understand my arguments, you
need to go out and learn some more about these issues.
So, please show us the code. Otherwise, I think I should just
stop
responding, as we're obviously not on the same page and this
discussion
isn't getting anywhere.
I've made my position clear: I don't write toy code. It will
take too long for the kind of encoding I have in mind, so it
isn't worth my time, and if you can't understand the higher-level
technical language I'm using in these posts, you won't understand
the code anyway. I have adequately sketched what I'd do, so that
anyone proficient in the art can reason about what the
consequences of such a scheme would be. Perhaps that doesn't
include Walter and you.
I don't know why you'd want to keep responding to someone you
think is trolling you anyway.
