| ARTICLES RELATED TO Rob Pike | | | |  Rob Pike: Encyclopedia II - X Window System - ImplementationsThe X.Org reference implementation serves as the canonical implementation of X. Due to the liberal licensing, a number of variations, both free and proprietary, have appeared. Commercial UNIX vendors have tended to take the reference implementation and adapt it for their hardware, usually customising it heavily and adding proprietary extensions.
Up to 2004, XFree86 provided the most common X variant on free Unix-like systems. XFree86 started as a port of X for 386-compatible PCs and, by the end of the 1990s, had become the greatest so ...

| | | | | Rob Pike: Encyclopedia II - X Window System - Future directions With the X.Org Foundation and freedesktop.org, the main line of X development has started to progress rapidly once more. The developers intend to release present and future versions as usable finished products, not merely as bases for vendors to build a product upon.
X.Org has separated the architecture of the reference implementation into independent modules, each maintainable in separate projects. X11R6.9 provides the monolithic source code for legacy users, but X11R7.0 contains a modular build system for the same set of features [2 ...

| | | | | Rob Pike: Encyclopedia II - UTF-8 - Modified UTF-8 in Java The Java programming language, which uses UTF-16 for its internal text representation, supports a non-standard modification of UTF-8 for string serialization. This encoding is called modified UTF-8. There are two differences between modified and standard UTF-8. The first difference is that the null character (U+0000) is encoded with two bytes instead of one, specifically as 11000000 10000000. This ensures that there are no embedded nulls in the encoded string, presumably to address the concern that if the encoded string is processed in a language such as C where a null byte signifies the end of a string, an embed ...
