So you are saying that we should refer to the null as the over byte?
What’s your 20? Semi-colon.
I don’t think a semicolon is semantically correct in this case. It suggest you want to add something. That’s why it is used in programming. You are making statements.
Maybe we should use a
.after return statements to signal the end of our statement stream.You say “over” to signal that you are done talking and it’s the other’s turn. Much like how a semi-colon is used to indicate the end of a line in many programming languages.
Reminds me of that old TV trope of saying “over and out”. This is not how you end a radio transmission. “Over” means that you are finished talking and are now awaiting a reply, “out” means that you finished talking and are going to stop listening for a reply. Saying both together is contradictory, you only say “out” when you’re done.
Ah, so “out” is like an EOF!
… feels kinda like someone saying “period full stop”
it’s like they’re doing a mic drop >_>
Same with roger wilco. Roger means i understand the message. Wilco means i understand the message and will comply.
When I learned this in JROTC, it ruined me and I get so upset when I hear it in media now. Been like 30+ years and I’m still angry when I hear it.
Or like saying “And uhhh… Yeah.” at the end of a voice memo.
“Copy” is essentially 200-OK
Or ACK
10-4.
“Come on over!”
“Come on WHAT? Over.”
Stop making a fool out of me.
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
126Saying “over” is the old radio protocol. The new radio protocol is starting by saying the number of characters in the message.
So is “uhhhhhhhh” on a pilot announcement STX?
That’s the keepalive message for when there’s a delay in the data query to prevent the passengers from closing their connections.

Did you know that HTML has something similar.

Reminds me of some TV show where a rookie cop tended to forget that and the cop on the other end just stubbornly waited for an answer, every time.
Of course you can always just stop listening after n bytes, no need for a null byte then.
You always add a timeout. It’s a basic safety.
