What comes to mind is TempleOS, I'm confident there's a lot of really interesting code decisions and algorithms in there.
Of course the other factor is your own comprehension powers; I can't comprehend math or complex algorithms, so I don't actually know if there are any that I could apply to my usual software development problems.
(I doubt it, it's high level front end stuff, all the complex bits are lower down)
- tombert 2y agoI asked a question years ago about trying to make a “real” operating system out of TempleOS [1], because I agree there’s probably some more to it than just a meme. I don’t know enough about operating systems to really know if there’s anything clever in there, but that gets to your point; part of the issue comes down to the ability to understand what you’re reading, as you pointed out. If I had seen the original 4chan post back when it was new, I wouldn’t have thought much of it, because I don’t know anything about superpermutations or combinatorics. If I had seen the post, I would have thought “oh there’s some math I never learned, cool” and moved on, not realizing its significance.
