Pretty good #design for old #msdos #programs that was left over from #cpm https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthi..
Got to love #tinycore #linux - it can run entirely from #ram - including #programs ! https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/02/11/tin..
Pretty #insane #effort to write your own #os in #assembly and #support so many #platforms and #programs https://hackaday.com/2022/06/11/homebrew.. #snowdrop reminds me a lot of #mikeos !
Interesting #discussion about #help #options for #programs https://blog.craftyguy.net/cmdline-help/ There is not real #consensus about how to #trigger the #help , probably the best option is to point the #user towards the #help when they do enter a bad #command , on the #stderr #pipe as not to mess up the #stdout #pipe , like #git does.
Nice #esp 32 #espressif #vm to allow #dynamic #loading of #programs https://hackaday.com/2022/02/27/esp32-vi.. This is exactly what I intended with the #linuxpda #project ! I think the better option here is likely still #webasm if we can ensure it remains small enough.
Interesting #project to #build a #kernel and #programs that #survive #reboot https://github.com/dzavalishin/phantomus.. One of the great questions raised is how to handle #bugged #software ... Apparently #software #reset is in the #os by design. I thought about this some time ago, and in theory all state can be derived from #observations and #periodically #querying certain systems. We already do such things with #cache for example.
