That's what I always do. My new PC should be delivered any minute, actually (16 GB RAM; at one intensive work session my current 8 GB where almost a bit scantly - is that the right English word?).

I think xdg-open defers to gnome-open/kde-open/... depending on what DE is currently running. Not sure about that. Anyway, xdg-open should be installed anywhere where any kind of DE is installed.

Shouldn't the compiler be able to see this? After all, Haskell is statically typed. Ok, maybe the compiler (optimizer) needs to look across function boundaries, but it should be possible, shouldn't it?

What I meant is how long is it supported by compilers. I know its by GCC, but I think it's not by MSCV. Is it possible to compile ffmpeg with MSVC? But ok, one could use it and just #define it away for crappy compilers.

Well, expressions like these look to me very clearly like a pattern that can be implemented using SIMD instructions: map (uncurry (+)) (zip [1,2,3] [4,5,6]) I guess because of these standard functions and the fact that everything i

Yes, but how long does this exist? My guess would be that it isn't really used (yet) in ffmpeg.

In general: One cannot expect a 0.x version to be stable/won't be followed by a incompatible version. A 1.x version is a different story.

The shell is closely tied to running commands and the exit code of commands make up the true/false values. "return 0" in the main function of a C program means "no error" which is interpreted as true by the shell. D
