Comment on On Endianness (2021)

This is a decent attempt. I like that they actually at least try to find pros/cons.

But it does seem odd that they give "convention" to big endian despite the fact that basically all modern processors are little endian and there's absolutely no advantage to following "network byte order" if you don't have to.
