Headquarters is in Issaquah now, and (per wikipedia) the original store was in Seattle, but got rebuilt and moved slightly north, so the original-original building/store no longer exists.<br/><br/>Now I have to figure out if I&#39;m feeling silly enough for ~4hr of driving for gelato on Thursday (I&#39;m in Washington, just on the wrong side of Puget Sound :-). 2026-07-27T19:06:11+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsp0cu4l2qk5jf4hrmer00etu56a9npma4pvjqdzw36pt4zy2jen7qzyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64ccz8n6f4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz3cu3fx7j8hk2e7r5h92agjts28h4ajt4j7tdfznfu8ygvmwfneq9ejea4'>nevent1q…jea4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The PDP-11 is (mostly) little endian, and pre-dates all of Intel&#39;s processors. Intel&#39;s endianness comes from the Datapoint 2200, which was bit serial, and the carry circuitry is simpler if you do things little-endian.<br/><br/>Honestly, I think the real answer is that big endian is easier to diagram if you come from a culture with a left-to-right writing system and a habit of putting zero on the left on graph axis.<br/><br/>(I like little endian systems) 2025-07-23T04:39:46+02:00
