Hullo 9fans.
Can somebody please explain to my slow mind the purpose of this game in
/sys/src/cmd/exportfs/exportfs.c (and the corresponding half in
cmd/import.c) and where my thoughts on it derail ?

srand(truerand());

Very nice, found it in Europe for ~50 EUR:

And for a few EUR more you can get the 'Pro' version with four
Gigabit Ethernet ports and 256Mb of RAM:

For 37EUR you can get a more minimalist board:

This bit I know, truerand() reads /dev/random (see cons(1)) and
can only generate "a few hundred bits per second".

Hello,
I've been thinking about 'well documented programs' and come across
the 'noweb' program.
Do you have any experience with literal programming and, particularly, noweb?
(I noticed at least rsc seems to have played with it back in the year
2000. He programmed some scripts to use the system in

I believe that Cweb/Ctangle were `engineering tradeoffs' -- i.e.
concessions to the large number of people who didn't care about the
theory or the practice of programming and just wanted to use TeX
(mostly AMSTeX) on whatever new system their math/physics department
happened to buy that yea
