Also useful if you want to do microprocessor debugging.

OpenOCD is scriptable/configurable using a small variant of TCL called JimTcl.

The taxes are 'abusive' because they are sometimes very carefully "hidden". Ryan Air is wonderful compared to the nightmare called WizzAir.

The issues with WizzAir:

-Administrative fees of 9 Euro on each flight, for each passenger.

-Trolley bag (10 kg) an extra of around 60 Euros.

-Want have the same fare for 48 hours? Pay an extra 12 Euros.

-After that, checked in bag, is around 40 Euros per flight.

-Check in at the airport costs around 40 Euros.

-Online check in costs 5 Euros, and the say they mail you the tickets two days before.

-They don't mail you the tickets and they don't say anywhere you can only print the tickets on the same day of the flight (atrocious if the flight is at 6 am).

-You can get a refund for a cancelled flight, but the refund link cannot be found on their site. You have a post on Trip Advisor that points to that site.

-If you have paid for a small check in bag (10 kg) but bring that bag to the plane that's an extra 58 Euros (I can live with that).

-The boarding queue may stop for around 15 minutes, because a client needs to pay 58+58 Euros and the boarding attendant is unable to calculate such a complicated mathematical operation, needing the intervention of another boarding attendant (busy). That is a big no NO!

-Of course the web site has "bugs" and you may encounter "issues" that may force you to restart your session, specifically when asking for a refund...

-The "bugs" do not depend on the browser, or the OS (tested on Windows, OSX and Linux).

Answering myself. Yes, it was an ignorant question as the name is Cocktail Shaker sort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

Yes. Ignorant question: if you use bubble sort but go through the array in alternating senses, could it not improve locality and speed?

Array v with N elements:

First pass: go from v[0] to v[N-1] comparing v[i] with v[i+i] Second pass: go from v[N-1] to v[0] comparing v[i] with v[i+i]

This is so obvious that it should have a name...

Repairable by who?

With Lenovo vendor locking CPUs on desktops?

I don't think there is any evidence of this. Open Source tools fully support Lattice (low end) FPGAs, and support for Gowin FPGAs is not quite as mature. It seems that many of the initial FPGA patents have expired, and that's why many small FPGA vendors are appearing. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The trouble is not supporting all the different Operating systems/compilers, as make can do that. The issue is when the OpenGL library location varies, even on the same OS/compiler set.
