Re: [9fans] Acme real estate on 15 macbook pro?
I use Acme with three columns (fullscreen) and the default fonts on my
Macbook Pro 15 retina with the maximum scaled resolution (looks
like 1920x1200). IMHO it's perfect.
Regards.

I use a 13” rMBP at the highest resolution setting. I run acme with 3
columns (though the leftmost column is a shrunk column that’s really only
useful for directory browsing).
The only annoyance is that I regularly connect to an external display, which
requires me to restart acme. Instead of messing with -f, -F flags, I make
dumps (which store font settings). I restart acme with
acme -l lodpi.dump
acme -l hidpi.dump
depending on where I am.
I do something similar myself:
% whatis D
fn D { acme -l $home/lib/acme/$* }
As far as screen real-estate goes I have a similar function which sets
up a base set of windows in rio:
% whatis W
fn W { . $home/lib/rio/$* }
lib/rio contains files created via wloc. These are really small
things, but speeds login considerably on my laptop, especially since I
use a couple of different monitors with different resolutions.
(I've also dealt with the sizing issue by getting used to smaller
fonts and buying bigger monitors. vera/unicode.12.font and
veramo/unicode.12.font work very well for me)
Cheers,

I need to be able to test things over a high-latency network, but since I may be modifying the kernel, running stuff on e.g. mordor is not the best option. I have enough systems here to do the tests, I just need to artificially add latency between them. Use a router that can do QoS, much simpler. You can also put a BSD in the middle and use Dummynet to generate the latency: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/ Regards q

But then, how exactly the '?' operator is useful for grep? I was Suppose we want to filter file names ending in '.jpg' and '.jpeg'. We would use this regexp: ; ls | grep '\.jpe?g$' The 'e' is optional (zero or one 'e'). Q
Re: [9fans] 8c, 8l, and empty files
Garbage-in, Garbage-out What does it happen when you try to link an object file that does not have main() defined? And when you try to link a malformed object file? In these cases, there is not any garbage-out for the garbage-in. There is an error, as expected. two things: the linker doesn't only produce binaries, it has options for producing other output in which a null object file may be applicable; In most cases it is used to create a binary. furthermore, it takes more than a single file, so you can see how a #ifdef-ed C file compiles to nothing (even if it's bad practice) but then is linked with other parts of the program just fine. In the example, I was linking a *unique* empty object file. To create a 0 byte exec file, that is, a binary without a header, is a nonsense. Regards, Q.

Does it have any sense to create a 0 byte executable file? Success or failure? Can you execute it? Q
