Linux 7.0 non è una rivoluzione rumorosa.

Au début des années 90, RDI a eu une idée simple :
“Et si on mettait une SPARCstation Sun… dans un portable ?”
Résultat : le BriteLite SPARC Laptop Workstation avec CPU SPARC et Solaris.

Having just read some #PDP11 assembler code, and similar in #m68k, #sparc, and #i386, my big take-away was that literally everything in computing would have been better in a world where #Zilog won.

Thanks to #SPARC (@sparc) for this new "Guide for Authors Complying with U.S. Federal Agency Public Access and Publisher Policies."
https://sparcopen.org/our-work/guide-for-authors-complying-with-policies/

Bottom line: Compliance with the US federal #OpenAccess policies is free of charge. Publishers who charge fed-funded authors a fee to make their work OA are charging to publish in their journals, not charging to comply with fed policy. You can publish elsewhere and avoid those fees.

A question for chip gurus to explain (ie argue 😁) …

Purely in architectural terms (ie ignore current success / adoption etc) - which is/was the best architecture: #x86 vs #ARM vs #RISCV vs #MIPS vs #SPARC vs #IA64 vs Alpha - and why? What pros/cons of each make the choice?

While the #Trump admin has not revoked or weakened the #OSTP #NelsonMemo, and the #NIH even accelerated its effective date, the #Republican led House Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science is trying to defund its implementation. #SPARC just released an open letter asking the committee to change course.

"I am writing to respectfully urge you to strike Section 550 from the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which would prohibit funding to implement the Office of Science and Technology Policy's August 25, 2022, memorandum ensuring free, immediate access to federally funded research…Rather than blocking #OpenAccess requirements, we should focus on addressing legitimate concerns about cost structures - including publication expenses - to ensure that access to publicly funded research is available while protecting taxpayers from unreasonable costs."

#SPARC has released its own new info on the new #NIH #OpenAccess policy.
https://sparcopen.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Update-to-NIH-PA-Policy-Deadline.pdf

Excerpt:

<blockquote>
● The Policy requires immediate public access to articles -- #embargoes are no longer allowed.
● NIH reiterates authors do not have to pay a fee to comply with the Policy.
● The Policy applies to manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025. This means the Policy will apply to existing grants if an article is accepted on or after that date.
● The Policy requires that final peer-reviewed manuscripts be submitted to #PubMedCentral (#PMC) upon acceptance to be made publicly available immediately upon publication.
● The Policy requires that grantees explicitly grant the NIH the right to make the manuscript available in PMC without an embargo.
● The Policy does not explicitly grant full reuse rights of the manuscript to the public.

The synchronous serial interface of my VAX failed and needed repair - Not a fun task given the amateurish setup in my basement. After extracting the machine and fixing a couple of cracked solder joints on the DSW42-AA, it is now back on TELEBAHN. After re-assembly, the setup looks neater than before, but I still dread the next time something fails. #retrocomputing #x25 #vax #sparc
