Well, the Budesamt für Verfassungsschutz (office for the protection of the constitution -- not generally known for their left-leaning point of view) classified the AfD as proven right-extreme. On that ground outlawing that party has been considered; this hasn't been done yet, partly due to the popularity of the party in some regions -- there's the danger to further alienate the populace there, many of which are already disenchanted with the earlier established parties. Some consider it best to let them govern for a while and thereby demonstrating that they can't solve intractable problems either. Others fear that they will cause irreparable damage even in their first days in office, e.g. cancelling the contract for public broadcasting service.

The BFV was forced to walk back that classification because, again, you can't call someone far right just because they have different opinions than you.

That did Fry's in, didn't it? People coming in viewing, touching hardware in store and then buy it on-line (elsewhere) so that they could save 2.5%. Or worse, buying it in store and returning it two weeks later when they found a better deal or didn't need it anymore.

Here a lot of places has a sort of price guarantee that I guess is supposed to work against this. Basically, if I know Media Markt sells something I want, but the very same thing is available for cheaper in other (big) store, I'll show them their competitors pricing and they'll lower their price to match it.

Assuming by the fact that the physical stores still exists, don't seem to be going anywhere soon, and these companies tend to get rid of stuff that doesn't make them profit anymore, I think it's safe to assume they at least are net positive on having the physical stores.


iiuc, this is differential GPS (DGPS) and not only airports are doing that. At least in Europe there are quite a few such transmitters, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_DGPS-Sendern

Meanwhile it did launch and separated from launch vehicle.

Oh, ELF file manipulation. I thought this would be about getting Linux to run on a Teensy.

If they can't be bothered to write the code, can they be bothered to maintain it?

World's first? What about the VIA C3 (or earlier NEC V20)? I'm sure there are more / earlier ones.

That's not the same thing, it's more like a hidden feature than the ISA of an entirely different CPU.


There was also the semi-mythical PowerPC 615 that was meant to have both PowerPC and x86 instruction sets. W


Most architectures perform best in combination with a compiler of a statically typed language. SPARC at least still had rudimentary support for tagged data types.

You make it sound as if that were a bad thing.


How does Clamiga compare with the most recent CLISP which did support AmigaOS?

CLISP's maintenance status is mentioned, but I can't help wondering in which way that would be relevant.


From reading the linked page, they both compile to bytecode not native instructions.

There are open source Common Lisp systems for the OG Macintosh that compile to native instructions that could probably be ported to AmigaOS.

Cambridge Lisp contained a native code compiler and was available on AmigaOS.


Clamiga has a native jit compiler for m68k.
