  • the ecosystem seems to have died about 2 years

    Yeah, as I said elsewhere, less alive than before

    it requires signing up to join the system

    I think the point of the standard was that you don’t have to sign up with someone specific.

    But in more general terms, of course one has to sign up with some bank or website or wallet that will receive the money or send the money.

    Well, you tried to appeal to a common logic, and I appealed to even more common logic. If you arrange 3 apples on a table in an array, and ask anyone to take the 0th apple, they will be confused.

    0-based is just a convention, not a law of the universe. Only using integer-type numbers to address array elements is too merely a convention of some programming languages. And note that no one suggests using non-integer numbers here, only numbers of non-integer type.

    Try interacting with anything that uses u64 and you’ll be a lot less happy!

    I’m sorry you had to experience this, but in all my years of development I hadn’t.

    …not actually quite as bad… While it’s UB for C, and it can return garbage. … the value it returns is 0x8000

    0x8000 is garbage. Insane.
