mdel, ltime, mtime. Why do people insist on oft unreadable short column names?
- oblio 6y agoBecause they're cdevs.
- orf 6y agoI think you mean cdvs, the e is clearly overkill, takes up more bytes on disk, increases compile times and eats up valuable screen real estate! The last one is especially bad, because it will make the code that uses it harder to read.
- onychomys 6y agoSurely we should instead use cdv, in case there's only one of them in a row. And boom, 25% space savings from that little change!
- orf 6y agoThis is a 25% decrease in storage and a 25% increase in raw typing throughput. Truly increadible.
- oblio 6y ago> I think you mean cdvs, the e is clearly overkill, takes up more bytes on disk, increases compile times and eats up valuable screen real estate! Also one more extra letter to type for people who can type 100+ words per minute and over an entire day probably only need to type 2 words per minute on average (the rest of the time spent thinking, debugging, reading documentation, being in meetings, etc) :-)

- exikyut 6y agoDear diary, I was today years old when I learned I was a character device. I'm not surprised; I do emit a lot of bytes all day.
