#specification

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Years ago I started writing a #specification for a family of binary file formats with three goals:

- Extremely simple for mmapped access
- Frozen in time (no versioning)
- No complex algorithms to read/write the data

I still think there's value to those formats, since the tasks they try to ratify come up time and again, and there seems to be no simple equivalent

I never finished it because I feel I still need more feedback. If you're interested, please have a read:

@mrchrisadams Yeah, #S3-Style #ObjectStorage is nifty in many places.

  • It's kinda good that whilst #amazon is a bad company, they basically had to "#OpenSource" S3 as a #specification so anyone would even bother to implement it at all, and basically every #hoster nowadays offers that with bit & second-precise billing if wanted, as it's more convenient to #FTP and other #quota / #fixed storage...
