[15:22] <jrwren> TIL: xxd does binary with -b... verify bit patterns are what you think they are: `echo 0xaa | xxd -r | xxd -b`
[15:22] <jrwren> whew, 170 is a magic number.
[15:42] <cmaloney> fun fun
[21:06] <jrwren> dear python... i hate you. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Objects/fileobject.c#L1105
[21:06] <jrwren> so efficient! https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Objects/fileobject.c#L2886
[21:53] <cmaloney> Is that still true in Python3?
[22:37] <jrwren> probably something similar.
[22:37] <jrwren> actually, that efficient comment was stupid by me. It is fine.
[22:38] <jrwren> but the newline behavior with read() is still a little weird IMO
