Very interesting summary of facts and quotations with conclusions. I would say there are even more camps than the two mentioned. Personally I think C++98 and Qt5 just worked and were good enough for a…

Is this an AI generated response? It has nothing to do with what I wrote, what I demonstrated or my actual experience as a trained musician. Your text sounds very generic, obviously without checking m…

Wow. Must feel like a completely different world compared to today. May I ask what your work was?

Great story, thanks. I wasn't aware that the Critical Path Method originated from DuPont and Remington Rand. Almost lost art today. When I proposed it in a government project twenty years ago her…

I have mostly experience with the smaller (older) boards of OrangePi, and I think they have great boards, some even with a long availability.

People unaware of Project Oberon should rather have a look at https://projectoberon.net/ where they can find the free book and additional material by Prof. Wirth.…

Thanks. Though I migrated the code from Oberon-07 to Oberon 90 (so I could compile it with my OP2 version) and currently I even migrate it to my forthcoming Micron language. The Project Oberon System …

Thanks. I rather do it as a "proof of concept" to demonstrate that the Oberon System is a (hopefully) great fit with today's microcontroller boards, particularly the Olimex ESP32-P4-PC,…

And shortly after Wirth launched his RISC-5 system, the original FPGA board went out of production.

The ESP32-P4 is actually my target platform. I have a cross-compiler toolchain based on my own OP2 compiler version (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/op2/ ) which makes i…

The availability of the board to run Wirt's system was an issue pretty soon. There were even people who offered their own boards to fill the gap (e.g. https://web.archive.org/web&…

One could obtain and run an old (Open) Genera image with a VLM port from archives or community distributions. What is announced here is that "Symbolics Technologies" is now formally offering…

Just a regional court anyway, barely worth the news.

Wow, this is incredible. What are you doing with it? Looks like a year of work.

Ok, I see. The S3’s "MMU" is just an external-memory mapper, not a virtual-memory MMU. The S31 apparently has both, that mapper plus an architectural CPU-side Sv32 MMU; that offers indeed a …

Sure, but what the S31 calls "MMU" is not an Sv32 MMU; therefore my comment.

Thanks for the links. This doesn't seem to be a true RISC-V MMU (according to the Sv32 specification) integrated into the CPU core itself, but just a peripheral designed for memory mapped SPI fla…

Here is my first attempt: https://youtu.be/u4RSlO9nS50 Bear with me, video is not my medium. I used my photo camera with a tripod and a light I had around. To avoid the need of cuttin…

The Munich Regional Court (Landgericht) is a first-instance civil court. Let's wait for what the higher levels have to say (if Suno cares at all about Germany or Europe).

I was in a similar situation many years ago. I was using Ecco Pro on Windows but then had to move to Linux. When I first looked at CherryTree, it was a shaky Python/GTK app; meanwhile it was re-w…

Censorship and bureaucratic authoritarianism are real issues in Europe, but in a true democracy, citizens should engage in reasoned debate, not insult one another.
