Preach.

Ran the stack manually for decades, but spam makes it harder.

Run mailinabox now, it takes care of everything pretty well.

I actually love the theory of the Mach nanokernel, I just also think Apple went their own way with it, defeating the purpose entirely.

You’re right, but rax is amd64.

I think there were a few early amd64 systems with genuine ps2, and I think you can still get one, but it wasn’t common, and honestly it’s probably usb->ps/2.

To be a pedantic asshole: mov eax, ecx? Unless you’re commenting on the insanity of interrupt driven i/O in the modern age of high performance, deep-pipelined superscalar OOO cores.

Meh, after all the post-iw shit that tried to pretend anything still had meaning (except loki, that was cool), dp3 was nice and chill.

Qnx is certified and has (hard) rtos baked in.

But montavista and others give most of that by now for less and are more maintainable anyway.

Linux back then was just minix with more packages like x.

The kernel was absolute bedlam back then.

Msft funded them for a while to do this:

Amen, freebsd crew represent!

And to anybody throwing shade:

BSD is literally the #1 mobile os, and has been for years, even if the kernel has extra chromosomes.

They’ve been trying to “Central Engineering” things.

I worked as a massive chip company, they thought they could fix things by moving a lot of engineering out of the groups and into a single place where different groups and products could borrow and plug and play tech from.

Which was a great idea, except the groups didn’t really understand what they wanted, and central engineering just wanted to make what they thought people wanted, which often fit nobody but looked really cool.

Bioware looks like they’ve been trying to pull all the game engine stuff central, which would be fine but the frostbite engine didn’t work for half of what they wanted, and more importantly the “divisions” ended up just being pushed to make “something” to show off their best new tech, even if there was 0 story or creativity behind it (I’m looking at you Anthem).

Not Linux, but 9front or that thing they wrap the gnu Mach kernel in.

Aged like raw sewage.

Doubt sweden is faw behind.

Fucking kebabsås .

Roll Tattooine.

It does texture mapping but that’s all. I think it does very limited, basically gouraud shading.

You have to clip your triangles, basically clip everything.

Ps1 is great because it’s a mips core, a funky 3d engine and the main weirdness is the spu.

The n64 is all weird (albeit with a similar but 64bit mips core).

Everybody knew what they were voting for!

Thanks, Abed.
