LoseThos

http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=24190

In LoseThos, core 0 is master and the rest are slaves.  Also, LoseThos is for single-user home systems, not multiuser mainframes or servers. 

It is multitasking, but, for example, does not break 100 block disk reads into pieces, so drive is locked and other tasks waiting on drive starve.  I plan to keep it that way -- it's simpler.

I turn interrupts off during some parts of code AND employ a spin lock.  Conceptually, turning-off interrupts instantly gives you mutex... exclusion from other tasks (on that core).  For multicore, you need to go beyond, so I employ separate spin locks for everything.  Technically, a spin lock alone is good enough without turning-off interrutps, but, I donno, just because I think it's more efficient, I turn-off interrupts, too.  In almost all cases, applications are single core and run on core 0, so CLI provides no-waste solutions to mutual exclusion.  My spin locks Yield CPU on failure, which is unacceptible for large-number-of-tasks systems.  Go use Linux if you want that.  If you want simpler, use LoseThos.

My question is:  Does he know?
Suppose he doesn't.  Then, imagine the day he discovers what linux is and what you can do with it...  for free.

Are you trying to make fun of guy, who wrote whole OS and toolchain by himself, using his original ideas (silly Torvalds just reversed SunOS and used GCC + readily available utils), while you, yourself, so incompetent, that cant discern linked list from a "splay tree"?

sacrificing compatibility with every other program in existence
To make something new, you have to kill something old and ugly. It's a revolution. Microsoft knows well about this rule, and tries to destroy older technologies.

LoseThos is what DOS might look like if it was written from scratch today.

I'm a fan of *nix and POSIX-likes myself, but seeing really "out there" stuff like this inspires me.

I wasn't really trying to make fun of him, but he deserves to be made fun of.  I'm really just in awe of the amount of his life that he's wasted, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I could spend seven years carving a rock with my fingernails.  I might end up with something that might make one equally ignorant soul say "neat!"  Or, I could just use modern tools and spend an afternoon carving something and move on to the next project.

Your assumptions about my competence are misplaced, as is your urge to defend this nonsense.  The fact that you think he's done something useful speaks volumes about your own competence.

>>43
To make something new, you have to kill something old and ugly.
No, you don't.  You might find it hard to believe, but programmers in the real world generally just fire up an IDE or a text editor, write some code, compile it, run it, debug it, and call it a day.  And they manage to do this without killing anything.

Microsoft
Really?  This is your one example?  You do know that a program written for an 8086 (late seventies) will run on your Win7 box, right?  Microsoft is actually the prime example of a company that has sacrificed tremendous functionality in favor of backwards compatibility.  Shit.  IHBT.  Well, fuck you.

it hard to believe, but people in the USSR generally just fire up red stars or drink vodka, write some communism social realism writings, publish them through state publishing system, make it censured, and call it a day.  And they manage to do this without killing anything.

If I were embarking on a seven-year-long fingernail-rock-carving project as I described here >>45, I would hope that someone who cared about me would punch me in the fucking temple somewhere around the second day in and say "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT DO YOU WANT TO BORROW MY DREMEL TOOL OR SHOULD I JUST KILL YOU WITH IT RIGHT NOW"

That's output.

Also, I fully support referencing mdickie, tdavis, leah, etc, as legends here on /prog/.  They deserve recognition.  What is truly mind boggling, though, is that there are individuals here (>>42-44) who see these "legends" at work and actually find what they've done impressive.  Wait, I just figured it out. >>42-44 are mdickie, tdavis, and leah.
