make says: multiple infinities are no more than one.

This got to be some kind of make-zen:

If you give `-j' with no numeric argument, meaning to run
as many jobs as possible in parallel, this is passed down, since
multiple infinities are no more than one.

from info page section 5.6.3 of GNU Make version 3.81.

Namdaemun, gone.


A little belated news, but Namdaemun (literally, the great southern gate) of Seoul has burned down as you can see in the picture.

It has withstood so many invasions of various powers, yet, it was crumpled down by one crazy person...
