- codetrotter 2y agoBut your emacs is still 5.89824 * 10^37 bytes in size like parent commenter, right?
- ninkendo 2y agoClearly it grew a lot in size since 1929. It doesn’t waste nearly that much space on my timex sinclair. (To explain and thus ruin the joke, https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html)
- ninkendo 2y agoAlternative reply: while :; do echo ?; done Is only 24 bytes.
