   hacking run n.   [analogy with `bombing run' or `speed run'] A
   hack session extended long outside normal working times, especially
   one longer than 12 hours.   May cause you to `change phase the hard
   way' (see {phase}).
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Hacking X for Y n.   [ITS] Ritual phrasing of part of the
   information which ITS made publicly available about each user.   This
   information (the INQUIR record) was a sort of form in which the user
   could fill out various fields.   On display, two of these fields were
   always combined into a project description of the form "Hacking X
   for Y" (e.g., `"Hacking perceptrons for Minsky"').   This form of
   description became traditional and has since been carried over to
   other systems with more general facilities for self-advertisement
   (such as Unix {plan file}s).
