While converting some code to 64-bit on Snow Leopard, I discovered that character literals are ints, so I couldn’t use them for 8-byte longs. The alternative is readable hex constants.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows 0xDEADBEEF and 0xCAFEBABE, but I wondered what else was available, so I wrote a short Lisp program to run through the standard Unix English dictionary and extract the usable words. I’ve included substituting 1 for I and 0 for O. There aren’t that many words, so here they are, sorted by length and alphabetically:<\/p>\n
