Which debugger would that be, or am I not getting the joke?
- cbarrick 2y ago`Phase of the moon` has an entry in the Jargon File, meaning "reliability seems to be dependent on conditions nobody has been able to determine." It is a reference to a real bug from long ago. I would not be surprised if this was included as an Easter egg in a debugger, as a reference to this legend. http://catb.org/jargon/html/P/phase-of-the-moon.html http://catb.org/jargon/html/P/phase-of-the-moon.html
- gavinsyancey 2y agoThe MULTI debugger includes an optional phase-of-the-moon display, in the dead space in the lower right between the horizontal and vertical scrollbars in windows that have both :)
