  • MMIX is created by Prof. Knuth purely for expressing his algorithms. Back then C++ and Java were the latest, hottest sh... (and would soon be outdated themselves). Prof. Knuth didn't like C++ and general programming language fashion. So he invented MMIX. It was never meant to be implemented in real HW.

    I don't know whst's wrong with the other CPU architectures you listed. I especially wonder why Sparc wasn't used more.

  • Does anyone know of a list of OSHW jobs?

  • Is underground gaming the right term?
  • I definitely think that capitalism harms and should be ended. And right-wing is even much worse than capitalism.

    Far left means communism and anarchism, right?

  • Welcome to /c/democratic_socialism. @lemmy.ml PeterLinuxer @lemmy.ml
    How can a moderate socialism be organized?

    Assumed a moderate socialism is possible, how could it be organized? As a market soxialism (as the Wikipedia article describes)? Union-driven?

    Is underground gaming the right term?
  • "Alternative gaming" comes to my mind. But "Underground" fits well.

    I'm a bit worried about the far left.

    What software do you use?

    Hi all!

    What software do you use? And is it as simple as you would like, or do you have to make compromises?

    I do a lot of compromises. I use: Linux kernel, Xubuntu distro, jwm, Mousepad (editor), Thunar, xfce4-term, Chromium. I am slowly learning how to use Mutt, Arch Linux, Netsurf and perhaps Hurd or Haiku.

    Greetings Peter

    Another fantasy novel: A Wizard of Earthsea

    Let me introduce a really cool fantasy novel:

    "A Wizard of Earthsea" is about magic, its power and its sources.

    The main character is Ged, who is told about, starting from his childhood until he rises to power.

    It is narrated vividly. The description of the magical school and the diverse sources of magic is entertaining.

    Greetings Peter
