i went to Sonoma from Tahoe. it felt like an upgrade rather than a downgrade. why Sonoma? it was the version appeared in Recovery mode.

but its size still makes me use scientific notation to write it in kilobyte unit.

i am calling everyone(apple google..) here to switch their mindset to: "how can we reduce code size?", "what can we get rid of?", "how small can my product be?"...

set rules to measure everything in kilobytes and make your employees realize how big the number you are typing.

if every company thinks like that and stop the madness for a year or two, we might be able to solve the main issue: obesity.


ksimple is eight bit. 128 is the unsigned middle or one plus signed max. usually using it for null or error signal. on sixty for bit k implementations it would be two to the sixty three.


see also fabrice bellard's ffasn1 (c from asn.1) compiler: https://bellard.org/ffasn1/


Oh yeah, amazing tooling no doubt, and non-free. Fabrice Bellard knew he could make good bank from this. ASN.1 for 3GPP and finance is a great little niche if you have a chance to exploit it.


we wont fix things by adding but deleting


Yes, but deleting is more difficult and often more expensive than adding. It becomes another burden if you are not bold and determined enough.


The less, the better
