mircea_popescu: phf the story of alpha is perhaps one of the best illustrations of the fundamentally anti-intellectual stance and calling of the female state. 1980s true 64 bit architecture, well supported (openvms started there, ffs, go revolutionize shit in 2015 with the remnants of 1980s tech).

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if fixed widths, you would actually "use" offsets in the sense of making files.
mircea_popescu: you could use them to connect transactions to blocks, addresses to blocks, whatever index you're trying to keep
