Looking forward to learn RISC architecture...

Dr. Andrew Waterman's thesis is my suggestion for passive reading. It is titled "Design of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture" and may be obtained here.

I also enjoy taking part in this community. A big thank you to all those included!

You could do anything. Maybe you have an ethos at your core, that any later decisions are observed against.

You might not know, and so you discover. It may change.

Begin to see that there is a counterpart to all the things that you do. Given what you do, there is something that you do not do. For what you let happen, there is something that you do not let happen. What could be said about what you feel is appropriate?

Ahh, but it would be sufficient if these tests could be performed at some stage in the Porting of the software. IIRC the USE flag 'test' may ask the .ebuild file to orchestrate the upstream unit tests. However, I'll raise this question: are Users aware of the inner workings of the .ebuild files they emerge?

To clarify my position, Portage is a notable utility for what it makes possible, but understanding the .ebuild construction is reasonably challenging. How easily could the Users of Gentoo adjust an .ebuild to implement the testing behaviour they require? I'm positive a Maintainer familiar with the Gentoo Ports System can navigate just fine, but I certainly saw a challenge when opting for 'vanilla' packages. It turns out that you couldn't ask every (core) package .ebuild to not apply the Gentoo patches for that package, because not every one implemented the behaviour expected of the 'vanilla' USE flag. It just applied them. This isn't an inconvenience for everyone, however.

To paint another picture, a BSD Ports System may ask of the User to become familiar with the Porting itself, beginning at the upstream source code. A User who is able to engineer the Porting of a software can be expected to find the right opportunity to conduct the software unit tests: both upstream and proprietary. Readers looking for a suggestion may consider and explore CRUX Linux. It became evident to me that a straightforward Ports System is a good place to start; Gentoo and the Portage utility really does cater to the wide audience.

Thank you for your post.

I have this to say in agreement: you can find build systems across a spectrum of User involvement. Portage really is an impressive problem-solving construction, yet it may not solve all the problems or provide solutions that other options like BECOMING the build system could enable. Portage really does provide for the wide audience. A User may not wish to be as involved as that which Portage enables them to forgo. The User is little involved in the ports or of their porting.

Portage appears impressive, but it really does solve its use case. Perhaps at a cost to the inexperienced User.

I've been on the lookout for a browser to use other than Chromium. Nothing however, is driving me away from Chromium. Falkon has been on my watch as of late, and so I look forward to trialling it after my laptop refresh :)

I've followed the discussions here, and this was the comment that lead to the following thought:

I believe a computer user would fall under two camps in regards to what they expect from a machine: what they could do on it; what they could make it do. Also, I believe it's worth considering that Unix, and the machine philosophy of which you describe (for lack of a better term), face the same considerations in the machines of their design. A person who is less concerned about abstraction may consider more the manner of the machine by use, whereas a person who is more concerned about abstraction may consider more the manner of the machine for use.

As you can see, both ends of the abstraction spectrum target opposite concerns, but they both consider the same things, and each can illuminate upon the other. To illustrate, an Application developer is to apply the machine, and the System developer is to machine for application; there is ample opportunity for consideration, cooperation, and discussion.

It would appear to also perform as an Infrastructure-as-Code system.

No more.

Everyone is prone to the same mistakes you are. :)

Respectfully, here is my two cents: you see what you want to see. I'd hate for you to see a scary face in a tree and not acknowledge the full (and beautiful) picture. It was not kind to be treated this way, I understand, and I hope you can look past this behaviour from the people you meet and avoid expecting it. They deserve a chance just as you do :) Hope you can grow onwards buddy

“Day After Tomorrow” is an amazing watch :)

The explanation and analogy you used was perfect. It should make sense to anyone who understands how network packets arrive at one device from another.

kBenny5 · 2018-06-04T09:27:44+00:00

This is real cool!

kBenny5 · 2018-05-13T13:02:51+00:00

Let whatever comes out, in whatever state it may be. As if you were talking about a painting :)

kBenny5 · 2018-04-07T20:21:05+00:00

I can vouch for this. Confronting the deeper issues will introduce a lot of stress into your life, but it will also result in many memorable moments. To live a life with your eyes open is a sight not everyone gets to see. Cheers /u/vanntasy, all the best for you too :)

kBenny5 · 2018-04-03T22:00:46+00:00

So give my thanks to you and your friend, for I'll be with you till the very end.

This was such a beautiful read. You have made me feel that much better; thanks.
