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 (and would soon be outdated themselves).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.

I don't know of an industry company who builds truely libre hardware. Only half-libre if you are willing to call it so.

Which region are you willing to work in?

I don't think you need a particular order.

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

One text I loved very much is "The rebels (or robbers) of Liang Shan moore (or Po)". I guess it is very taoistic, but I'm not sure about that.

Unfortunately I can't find a reference on English wikipedia and on the net. I am sure there is both because there's even a TV series about it.

Analects - Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

The Analects (Lun Yu) is a famous book from Confucius (Kungtse). I love it but I think it isn't the final answer to everything. I understand why taoists laugh about him but I appreciate his rigid morals.

Richard Wilhelm was a German sinologist who translated several texts to German. For example I ging, Tao te king, Secret of the Golden Flower, Analects. In my opinion he gave great care for understanding the Chinese culture, not just viewing it through Western prejudices.

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

What's your favorite Magic edition?

Do you play Magic (or just collect)?

Or do you collect Magic cards beyond playing?

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.

I liked to play Runescape (www.runescape.com)
submitted 3 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all roleplayers!

I liked to play some MMORPGs (at least for a while), for example Runescape. But I stopped playing it for two reasons:

(a) A player can and must develop every skill.

(b) It doesn't run on Linux.

What MMORPG did/do you enjoy? Perhaps Runescape, too? Or maybe WoW?

Greetings Peter

I want to recommend to you the novel "Rivers of London" (In USA "Midnight Riot").

It's "Urban Fantasy", namely about a magic cop in the contemporary England. The main protagonist is Peter Grant, a black cop. He is the apprentice of Nightingale, the only legal magician in England.
