sscce.org has not been responding the last few days. Has it died
permanently?

You encapsulate not just to save typing, but more importantly, to make it easy and safe to change the code later, since you then need change the logic in only one place. Without it, you might fail to change the logic in all the places it occurs.

I see the same thing. Fortunately, <http://pscode.org/> and
<http://pscode.org/sscce.html> remain available.

Compare ` whois pscode.org` and `whois sscce.org`.

Probably a temporary outage. I dropped an email to Dave Minter
once I noticed your report. Will pass on any news I get.

Good to see you, Andrew.

Both "compilable" and "correct" have to be understood in context of "example",
a point the sscce.org/ site makes well. If the example is of a compiler
error, then "correct" or "compilable" means it shows that error.

Maybe "SSCCE" should mean "simple, self-contained confirmable example".

G'day Lew! Must admit I have not been tuning into the
usenet newsgroups as assiduously as I had previously
done. Have been more active on the Snoracle forums*
and (a little) on stack overflow.

* And during the transition from Sun to Oracle, many
of the regulars are screaming about the death of those
forums. (shrugs) I'll wait and see how it turns out.

That is a good idea. I'll give it some thought.

As to the outage of sscce.org. Dave Minter confirmed it should
only be temporary. We are looking at strategies to get it back
online.

I think the original idea was the newbie was supposed to fix his
compile errors before pestering for help. I think originally any
compile errors were pretty easy to fix. With generics, that is no
longer necessarily true.

It is back now, on the same server I am using for pscode.org.
