Back when Apple transitioned from PowerPC to X86, there was the Rosetta emulator for running PPC code on Intel machines for a while (MacOS 10.6, iirc). I work in a design agency and prior to Adobe porting its software to Intel, we would run Acrobat, for instance, on Rosetta. This occasionally resulted in some strange artifacts in that some 8 bit B&W images would be inverted when viewed on a native Intel version of Acrobat, because Adobe had forgotten about the Endianess of the images in some formats.
@@disekjoumoer i ussd rosetta till the beginning of this year for doing ios builds of some reactnative libraries that wont work on arm. i guess every time apple transitions you have to use rosetta for a while.
@ It was an odd bug and it only happened one way, i.e. from the emulator to native. The other way was fine. I suppose someone forgot a function somewhere
At least Americans finally agree that there number system sucks, and agree that metric system is better, its just question of time, before imperial system is dead and buried. Hopefully this will make the world smarter, again.

the Gulliver fact was new to me. thanks.
Thanks!
You're welcome.

Interesting. I'd never heard of that.

i would think that Big End-ian will end with the biggest significant digit. If anything it should be called Big-Bigginian
Big-end is the human readable format, le-end is the sucky none readable format that pushed by idiots. thanks to this peaple we are now all idiots.
