The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Generally, the Internet is big endian, as in any binary protocols that exist on the internet expect "Network Byte Order" which is big endian. I'm happy to be proven wrong on that score, but it applies to everything I can think of, be it 32 or 64 bit IP addresses, 16 bit port numbers, NTP, etc.

I generally sort asciibetically if I'm sorting with a machine. I don't care about text in this instance.

Like I said, I was only referring to machine word byte order.
