On: Encyclopedia of Life

[krylon]

Wildly OT, but: The domain name is a bit funny, when I read "eol" my brain jumps to "end of life". ;-)

[Cthulhu_ → krylon]

Morbid, but, encyclopedias like this may be the only reminders we have of life before the great extinction event we're living in at the moment.

[zabzonk → krylon]

for a computer guy, "end of line", surely?

[tshaddox → zabzonk]

As a software developer I definitely run into “end-of-life” a lot more than “end of line.”

[zabzonk → tshaddox]

well, if you have a full-sized keyboard, you will see the (goto) end (of line) key peering up at you all the time. but i must admit, i hardly ever use it.

[krylon → zabzonk]

a) the key just says "end", not "eol" b) the key itself I use rarely, but as an emacs user I do hit Ctrl-e often, which is the equivalent.

[krylon → zabzonk]

I'm not sure I've ever seen it used like that. Either "\n" or LF/CRLF.

But I haven't paid very close attention. ;-)

[npsomaratna → zabzonk]

CRLF

[comboy → npsomaratna]

LF

[zabzonk → comboy]

CR (pre OS X)

[hoosieree → zabzonk]

Or the rare LRCF.
