Is he actually as brilliant as people make him out to be? I was watching his "MIT niggers" video as well as a lot of others and while you can't tell a lot about it from what he's doing it sounds to me like he might have come up with some cool stuff. Is it any good, or are things too ingrained the way they are for it to ever be used, or is he just a whackjob through and through?

The thing about modern computers is that they are overcomplicated to make the most intuitive fucking UI and applications. Back then, shit was straight forward.

So yes, Terry is god 190 IQ.

he never posted thumbnails from a phone so take that as you will.

Terry was a genius because he knew simplicity. He built his own compiler and operating system from the ground up. He took inspiration from C and added useful extensions. He took inspiration from Unix and added useful extensions.
Unfortunately, the newer versions of his OS are kind of torn apart. Back when it was called LoseThos, it was a lot more usable and didn't have the biblical stuff or the strange graphics. I guess as his schizophrenia progressed, he started doing more irrational things to his OS.

It's funny because, while I do phonepost sometimes, this is not one of those times. Also I figured everyone on Jow Forums has a picture of Terry so why would I upload a larger image? I have his videos saved on my computer (a few of them, at least) but not many pictures.

Temple OS is easy to laugh at but the fact that he created a language, and used it to write an OS all by himself is quite impressive. Especially while struggling with one of the most crippling mental illnesses a person can have How many other basement dwellers manage to even pull off one of those things? He at least tries to be productive, and despite it's many shortcomings, Temple OS actually has some really interesting and innovative features, buried beneath the insanity.

> In many ways TempleOS seems similar to systems such as the Xerox Alto, Oberon, and Plan 9; an all-inclusive system that blurs the lines between programs and documents.

> In this video Terry gives a brief tour of some of the more interesting features of TempleOS. At 5:50, he shows how to build a small graphical application from scratch. Now let's just think about how you'd do this in Windows for a second. Consider for a minute how much code would be needed to register a windowclass, create a window, do some GDI commands, run a message pump, etc. You'd need to set up a Visual Studio project perhaps, and either use the resource editor to embed a bitmap, or try and load it from disk somehow. Now compare it to the tiny snippet of code that Terry writes to accomplish the same task. It certainly makes you wonder where we went so wrong.

That's because Windows is built by pajeet wageslave brainlets.

He may be gone but Terry is king. Give TempleOS a try and learn something. Once I got the hang of it I started wanting to use it everyday.

The underlying architecture of windows applications is ancient, goes back far before the pajeetification of M$.

He's a LARPer

He made some classical music, better than mozart worse than bach

There is a reason why he was the programmer God decided to talk to. He was the only vessel who could tolerate God's message. But even then, it only worked for a short time.

Oh look, a 14 year old Jow Forums nigger learned a new word and is trying it out.

Fuck back to you NPC brainlet. This is our board now

t. nigger cattle

The thing is he’ll say some pretty level headed and stuff albeit a bit conceited about his OS architecture and then he’ll say something like ‘CIA nigger’ and ‘god said 16-bit color’ etc. His face should be pinned to this board desu.

This, you can't blame the pajeets for the completely broken, rotting foundation. They're trying to carry on what was left behind and it's all garbage.

>github under lock and key
holy shit he knew

You know, he's one schizo who may have actually had the CIA stalking him. At least early on. At one point he was trying to get hired on by defense contractors. He had an interest in working on spy satellites. It's not entirely unlikely that given his credentials, he may have been of interest to some spook agency or another.

Why, because he wrote a crippled toy os, a piece of garbage nobody uses? Not one original idea, not one productive piece of code - freedos and linux are already open source.
Broke retards here with pentium IIs praise him because a 16 color 800x600 GUI is all they can run.

That's like the scribes casts in China. To protect their lives and look irremplaceable, they made the scriptures more and more complicated, to the point only their cast could understand it.
There is the same philosophy behind redhat's shitstainD.
Terry is (was?) a public domain guy. So there might have been a steep learning curve (because he was a genius) but once you mastered his OS, you were good to do anything easily.
He was the real computer hero, not these foss fags.

you're saying all this like if it was bad.
check your privileges

His crappy OS doesn't have sound, LAN, or video drivers. He didn't put any because he knew he wasn't nearly good enough for that.
We don't all use the same computer and terry didn't address that at all. People start contributing more and more and next thing you know, in 2030 you'll be where freedos was in 2010.

He was extremely talented, but his mental illness manifesting in his later adult life (as schizophrenia commonly does) robbed him of being greater. He was getting into metal 3d printers and satellite control systems in the 90s. Despite it's appearance or usefulness to many people, templeOS is a very well crafted OS and it is remarkable someone in his conditions could make it when most healthy programmers could never come close.

>most healthy programmers could never come close
To what? Making a crippled joke that supports 0 software ever made?

He knew about the CoC also.

Dude, give the guy some slack, he was basically 20 times more clever than you (whoever you are, be modest, stupid faggot).

i remember that chat
that chat was a better chat than irc
and he would come on it more often too

Of all the words, you chose clever? You know what's clever, forking the world's most popular kernel and working your way from there.

He invented a programming language and wrote an entire OS from nothing, he's RMS/Linus tier

Way back in first year college, I wrote a command line markdown editor that only works on windows 7 x64. That piece of trash had a greater and more useful purpose than Terry's copycat crap.

That's literally the point you gorilla monkey retard. He wanted a simple OS under 100k LoC.

Oh noooooooooooooo. How dare somebody try to make something innovative instead of making the 5,000th fucking UNIX clone god damn it stop copying unix on every fucking thing.

It is very confusing to move from oen software platform to another. I know most people are moving to linux, but there are also a lot of old linux users, which Torvalds is worried about, moving to BSD platforms. He loses their contributations to his software. Torvalds worries to himself about being the lone contributor to his software that millions of people use daily. I've tried writing a kernel module myself. I've not gotten much further from a "Hello World" example of it. I know how it can be used, and I know that if I spend about one day on it knowing that I could control my seleep
that is difficult. If I could stay up for enough over a week to work a problem then I could have some idea to a solution plus irrelevant ideas to help with the given problem.

I really don't care about boundaries too much because I am in the position to say that I've found it necessary for the United Stes of America to expand beyond the current 50 States, and to expand into a Union that holds all nation-states, what are called foreign States, but to allow them to be represented in Our Congress, to cast electoral Votes in Our Election, which means they are Our States, which includes All States, which isn't wrong for the world. And The World, It Says to itself, that war must be necessary to preserve their identity. I know that is a wrong surmise. A short way to say it, is that the lands of the world will receive a great Blessing, and it is there that the world grows, because the United States of America, fought to provide Justice and a common Defence and a general Welfare, a thing of ideals that fell upon the Africans with a hard heart ache.
And The Africans can weep.
They weep freely to know that the world will grow into a wonderful garden for their children. It is their children that Africa cries.
All of the world weeps for the unborn and lost children of all.

Forget about it.

Who doesn't miss Terry A. Davis? I am glad I have seen programs that Terrence Andrew Davis programmed, but I've seen him do other things. Terry would get drunk a lot of times to make videos. I saw this time that Terry got drunk and was dancing and singing and having a good time, but when I was saying that I am glad that Terry was having a good time, I had instuled him. It was about 2 weeks after hearing people trying to say he is dead, which I know is not proven, that I began to think to myself about why he made videos for people to watch. I said he was pissing on himself.
>
Terry did not do that.
>
I really enjoyed watching Terry talk about his interests in computers, how his method works when designing software, and what life is like in his part of the world. I first read about Terry around 2012 or so. I am not sure how earlier it was than that, because I've known Terry for before 2010, and at least in 2009. He was crazy. He was a crazy programmer. They wrote about him all over the Internet quick.

He was still unknown regardless of his need to post on Jow Forums or to go anywhere else to share his operating system.
Dude. I am talking too much.

I just realized I was in a Terry thread. I will have to quote myself, but it was still a great shock to hear Terry died. It is shocking to hear Paul Allen died. I did not know he had cancer.

It really sits on my shoulders like a lead weight, to hear what Terry said into my ears, and understand them with what I said, and trying to calculate whether he had heard of what I said from his video. That was his 3rd to last video where he was singing, and it seemed like he was singing AC/DC. Dude, I was enjoying his dancing. I was hearing his music. I said rock on.

i'm glad he's gone tbfh, what a dumb and boring memelord

T Davis was retarded, he copied the c compiler syntax, changed it slightly, instead of just making it fully regular like lisp. could have made a lisp without trailing brackets if he wanted like python. So in the end he has the shitty c syntax but its not true C compatible.

that's debatable. I saw terry argue with some other autists who made their own OS, but Terry also wrote every single one of his drivers.

You can just use C#/XAML or C# alone (for speed) these days and it's not winforms levels of retarded.

Terry should’ve been hired at google or the CIA and had a handler like the other autists. I work for GCHQ doing grubby kike work and they give me some little ginger girl who takes me to work and back and helps me with dinner and cleaning and washing myself because I can’t do it myself. Might not be a thing stateside though. But there’s a few of us here who have a paid “girlfriend” but unfortunately they don’t pay them to have sex with you.

Do you have a cock? Either way will you plz be my girlfriend, I’m 6’3 with muscles and money and a good jawline but I have aspergers.

What would be amazing is a holyc compiler (or at least a translator for now). No way SJWs would touch any project programmed in it.

Not really. ***LOADS*** of people have designed OS's, single-handedly or in small teams, more capable and certainly much more efficient than Temple, in a tiny fraction the time. Basically every OS written in the 80s.
