Re: [dev] I don't want to live on this planet anymore
In other words, It's a big difference between the number of lines for a software and the understanding of the fonction and the operations, and I think it's the point. The Suckless meaning, in this perspective, to be easily accessible to the understanding of anybody, like the principle of unix.

You seldom see those nowadays being that announcing the lines of codes is equivalent of announcing how much bloat there is in their code. Honestly, a good program does not have to be large, but complete (or meet requirements) and be useful. One thing is for sure, I bet that in his youth, this professor never participated in the one line program in BASIC competition that were common the days of yore. :) -- Luis Anaya papo anaya aroba hot mail punto com Do not use 100 words if you can say it in 10 - Yamamoto Tsunetomo
Re: [dev] [OT] Any suckless color picker is recommended?
I want to use color code to describe color, but I just can recorgnize the color, don't know anything about colorcode, is there any recommended suckless color picker that can let me choise a color then return a color code? I use xcolorsel. SL

I thought the only music that would count as suckless is John Cage's 4′33″. It's the only piece where there's just no bloat.

Re: [dev] Announcing rc-http 1.0
Hi, Just to say that I want to be on the list. Thanks for rc-httpd (I wait a little bit before complete the installation, maybe until werc will come with it). Sébastien On 2010-05-25, à 17:53:29 +0100, Ethan Grammatikidis wrote : rc-httpd is a web server designed to run anywhere werc will, requiring only rc, awk, sed, and ls from the Plan 9 toolset. At 388 lines of code it's not tiny, but it is rather feature-complete. It will serve CGI scripts (including werc), its own modules (rather more efficient than CGI), static files, and automatically index directories across multiple separately-configured virtual hosts. Configuration requires writing rc script, but I think many people will still find it easier than configuring Apache or many other servers. Find it at http://eekee.is-a-geek.org/rc-httpd/ I hope this message isn't too much like spam. I wanted to get the news of rc-httpd's existence 'out there', but won't be announcing future releases on these lists unless encouraged otherwise. Mail me off-list if you would like news of future updates. -- Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it. -- Alan Perlis
Re: [dev] philosophy
I think, the suckless project is favourable for what is painless for the mind. And that, in the perspective of the machine doesn't have to impose the habits to man. Man have to decide which behaviour is the best in relation with is environment. This ideal can look drastic for somebody, but for me is only a question of taste. Sébastien Lacombe
