Working toward change, but not making normative statements or highlighting problems in rationale. Obviously a real copyright reformist goes around tutting at those “semantics” while parroting the status quo.
Yeah I fuckin’ love dealing with transcendental constants and fractions just to describe a right angle. A quarter-circle being one-half just makes so much sense! It’s awesome seeing all these mantissa-only numbers, because you can totally tell apart sane results and srand() without doing floating-point math in your head!
Sticking with image compression, see Quite Okay Images. It treats each pixel as three numbers and expects mostly small changes. Recent pixels get hashed and can be referenced in a few bits. This is enough to compete with PNG filesizes, an order of magnitude faster, while handling each pixel exactly once.
