Lithium: a 16-bit kernel (sort of) written in Clojure (sort of)
- losethos 13y agoMy operating system and my compiler are 64-bit. I wrote them. Graphics without GPU are slow. I do all graphics by hand. I wrote my own graphics routines. Fuck you.

- ancarda 13y agolosethos seems to have lost his patience or something (see bottom of page). I wonder if it's the lack of attention his work gets - his submissions all have 1 point with 0 comments. Is there a specific reason or does nobody care about his work?
- kevingadd 13y agoLook at the posting history on some of his other accounts and it'll make sense.
- ancarda 13y agoHis other accounts? I'm relatively new to HN so some context would be much appreciated.
- ars 13y agoIt used to be called LoseThos, then SparrowOS, and now TempleOS. He has another account https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=SparrowOS https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=SparrowOS and see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4992749 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4992749
- ancarda 13y agoThat's interesting. I feel sorry that someone who seems to be such a talented programmer has to endure exclusion due to his mental condition. He seems to be aware that he's been shadow banned, although I can't remember enabling "show dead", I may have toggled it by mistake.
- mappu 13y agoHe also (used to?) post a lot on slashdot, osdev, osnews, twitter, reddit and (arguably) 4chan, and he's been banned from most of those. You often see his comments (as Terrence A. Davis) on articles that rank highly here. At some point Poe's law kicks in, and i'm no longer sure whether it's a mental condition (which would be highly regrettable) or if it's the hivemind playing out some elongated surreal prank.

- salgernon 13y agoWhile not relevant to the top article, I found this link a valuable discussion of the topic at hand. Not clear why you were down voted.
- juliangamble 13y agoAbdulaziz Ghuloum's An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction is seriously underrated. The notes from the tutorial seem to have disappeared from the internet. You can get a copy here: https://sites.google.com/site/juliangamble/Home/Compilers%20Tutorial%202006-09-16.pdf?attredirects=0 https://sites.google.com/site/juliangamble/Home/Compilers%20... I'm interested to see more of this in Clojure.
- vidarh 13y agoThanks for that... Fascinating to see how similar this approach is to the start of my own series (which is also bottom up) - up to and including using gcc output to figure out what to output.
- juliangamble 13y agoIs any of your series (or code therein) available online?
- vidarh 13y agohttp://www.hokstad.com/compiler http://www.hokstad.com/compiler - it's about two years since I published any of it, but I have 3 new complete parts now written in the last month and a half. Just "buffering" a couple more before I start posting them again.
