   In a future with high energy price, I often think all current unoptimized content will get unsustainable and either disappear or make users pay for access. Then optimized free-access content will rule.

   Holly... You're right. This will happen. To an over-arching state this is the ultimate modus. INSERT INTO Citizen(dob,ssn) VALUES 2030-10-28, sha(atgcaatgcatcgc..)

    > lawyers, doctors, biologists, physicist, mathematicians CompSci is a very young field compared to those. It wasn't even a college subject before the 70s or so.

    'ccrun' is nice, thanks. 'crun' would work also.

    Clever polyglot file! Does not work in the spirit of my script though, since you would still need to add headers and main(): //$(which gcc) $0 -o a.out; ./a.out $@; rm a.out; exit int i = 10; printf ("%d\n",

    Oh. Especially if one puts my script into ~/bin and calls '$ runc ..' I admit I didn't research the name 'runc'. Should I rename it ? I like this one because it's short and explicit.

    Done, done and done. Thank you ! I need a little time to study your 'strict mode' suggestion. I used 'set -e' before but had problems with it. Would you know how I could detect that input is cat'ed into the script ?

    - You are working on a file, making many versions, without using git. If you're like me you would just copy/paste the file and get 'foo (copy1)', 'foo (copy2)' or worse : 'foo (copy1) (copy1)'. Now wi

    Geany is lean and fast but has some warts. I.e. side-panel is too large, find+replace menu is modal and confusing.

    Not as mind-blowing as SublimeText leaking 3 solid GB of RAM after a few days on my Debian..

    You are right and that is what I meant. Sometimes though installation is a real pain. (For ex. OCaml/OPAM on Debian)

    I painfully agree with you, as a French. So much so that I comment my code in English for brevity. Regarding "aujourd'hui", this monstrosity litterally means : "to the day of today".. Our dear language needs a refor

    Thank you for mentioning this. As someone interested also in RAM-only, that is a strong additional point for BSD.

    I'm with you. Maybe this trend is inevitable because people spend a lot of time here (as I do). It's a forum after all. Focus on tech and intellectual pursuit gets diluted in general conversation. And that's really a loss.

    I would argue not only that early rising is totally unnatural but also that lying in bed half awake - sleep researchers call this state "hypnagogic" - is positively beneficial to health and happiness. A good morning doze of half
