#yyyy — Public Fediverse posts

@anderelampe liebs, wie jedes dieser Formate für sich furchtbar ist. Gestern hat keine Info zu Wochentag oder Datum, 25. Februar hat kein Jahr und über MM/DD/YYYY muss man gar nicht reden, so schlecht ist das. #TeamISO #YYYY-MM-DD

Oh, it’s Pi Day if you do dates wrong. #yyyy-mm-dd-or-gtfo #iso8601

Shattering the eyeglass: Using Kaitai Structs to dissect the eyeglass’ contents

by @beet_keeper

In my post from 2012: Genesis of a File Format, I created a new file format – the Eyeglass file format. The format provides a mechanism to persist information about a patient’s eye health following a checkup at an opticians. Today in 2023 we can use the format to understand how to make use of Kaitai Structs for understanding file formats.

Given the disclaimer that I am not actually an optician and that the format is purely illustrative, let’s look at the eyeglass again below.
