I never said anything like compromise. I prefer neutrality (as far as one can get it, but it is way easier in Europe). Why do you all think that anything that is not explicitly left biased is already compromised?
There are f-ups on both sides of the spectrum. This does not say both sides are equal - on the contrary, there is a shitload more f-up on the right side. But general whitewashing the left is also not OK.
Thats why I ask for true neutrality. Any source that reports in a biased way is not news, it is opinion. And given the current situation in the US, a neutral news source would have to call out a lot of shit and lies coming from the political right. But that does not make it leftist.
A “leftist news source” is not a news source, it is an opinion source, and thus not better than a “rightwing news source”. How about finding something neutral that actually has the goal to inform?
Peach. I have eaten a chicken and peach pizza once.
Once upon a time, gopher was actually a supported protocol. Translating from gopher to HTML is an easy job.
My first introduction to the web actually was “like gopher, but with hypertext and a gui.”
I didn’t grow up at the coast, but I learned about the tides the hard way (we found a nice place at the beach at low tide, and had to seriously hurry to get everything to safety). That taught me about tides.
Last year we were visiting a coastal town in the UK, and I had checked the tide table beforehand so I could always tell my wife and our friend about the current state. Sadly, we never had the time to see the beach or the port there - whenever we had time, it was already dark.
Politicians are doing nothing for any normal people. They cater for those who contribute to their campaigns in a way that makes them remeberable - usually not normal people.
Luckily, I was not ingrained by my first programming language like that, or my coworkers would strangle me.
I started with BASIC, which allowed only two letters for variable names…
Just remove Windows. One problem less on the list.
Nothing special. It was a natural progression to move from UNIX, Solaris, SunOS, and VMS to Linux.
Was Sprachen Sie spricht? Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie? (Deutsch/German)
Sauce Remoulade. Or Sauce Mornaie (SP?)
Yes, but those were only two distict flavors, and both had a lot of pull. And those special instructions were only needed in special applications and drivers. With RISC-V we are talking about a dozen different flavors, all by small and mostly insignificant players and the commands that extend the basic command set are commands for quite common operations. Which is a totally different scenarion than the SSE/3DNow issue back then.
Actually, I think RISC-V is even worse than ARM. With ARM, at least you have a quite reliable instruction set on the CPU. With RISC-V, most vendors have their own extensions of the instruction set, which opens a big can of worms: Either you compile all your stuff for your own CPU, or you have a set of executables for each and every vendors flavor of RISC-V commands, or you exclusively use the RISC-V core commands. The first would be only for hardcore geeks, the second would be a nightmare to maintain, and the third would be not really efficient. Either way, it sucks.

Tally Ho A boat builder named Leo Sampson rebuilding a wooden sailing yacht with an incredible love for detail. Started seven years ago with a wreck, and is now finally sailing!
Escape to rural France An English gardener rebuilds a French castle that had burned down 40 years ago.
Cutting Edge Engineering For those who love “Inheritance Machining” - Curtis does machining of large parts professionally and commercially.
While I have to maintain an old Windows 7 box to run some ancient software on it, I do most of my development work on a Linux machine. I use LibreOffice to read and write documents, use Inkscape for drawings in my documntation, but first and foremost, my main IDE is Linux native (although a Windows port does exist).
Python programmer encountering a real programming language for the first time.
Indeed. And yes, they know how to do that.
I’m afraid that the real meaning was “Those if you who consider yourself leftists, what
news sourcesbubbles do you follow?”
