Ultimately HTTP 2.0 is like IPv6, no-one actually cares.
Having said that, people do get upset about 0xDEADBEEF and 0xCAFEBABE, those people need to get lives. Or come up with some other words using only 6 letters.
I can see how 0xCAFEBABE might cause issues in the modern tech community, but 0xDEADBEEF? Do they just hate hexspeak in general?
Vegans.
I'll wager someone out there, perhaps unwittingly, has 0xDEADBABE in their binary, God help them if the twitterati finds out.
>> 0xDEADBABE ("Dead Babe") is used by IBM Jikes RVM as a sanity check of the stack of the primary thread
Heh, maybe. I'd be interested to know if there have ever been any documented cases of vegans actually being offended by 0xDEADBEEF (in anything other than a joking way). Seems like something that is only 'hypothetically offensive'.
Unfortunately, the type of people that actually get offended by this stuff tend to go around looking for this stuff. And once it finds it, it starts twitter campaign against you and your project.
If you are have no public talking experience/training, you are going to loose and be labeled ugly names.
I kind of aspire to be that much of a "Jimmy Rustler" one day. I make it a mission to treat people with actual respect, but to be recognized and campaigned against for something like coding a not politically correct, but totally benign protocol into existence, would be an accomplishment I could only dream of at this point. I'd be flattered if someone cared that much.
I like this stuff. It reminds me that humans with a sense of humor build the things we use everyday, and not some emotionless robot.
