How actually genius is this guy? Can you explain the complexity of all of this?

I'm a webpleb and don't know much about OSs beyond basics, so I can't tell.

>>54816649
A brainlet compared to Linus

Go study CS from a non-meme university. He is nothing special, seriously.

I watched him explain how to draw sprites and a bit of how to use his graphics rendering shit in the flight simulator he wrote.

He seems like he knows a LOOOOT of shit.

Couldn't even code in a fucking functioning network stack, the lazy faggot.

Yeah he made a kernel that actually works outside a VM.
It also has something called "Networking"

Linus didn't have networking when he made it for his machine

>Since when number of users shows your ability?
Right when people reviewed the code and are able to trust the project to work.
The difficulty of maintaining and securing increases with the size of the project

He didn't order people to download his kernel back then either

Again, you're judging his abilities by his character, not by his code.

That was quite good back when he took it. But National Merit comes from PSAT not SAT, which is much more of an IQ test than the SAT, and its scored very differently. That SAT score corresponds roughly to 140-145 IQ, which is high enough that most Mensa members are somewhat retarded by comparison. Shame about his autism, but its not uncommon at both low and high IQ levels.

Hey /g/, I just made a program to print "Hello, World" to the console. After consulting like a million stackoverflow questions (and making a few too), I've managed to finish it.

At just under 85 lines, it's the only program of this sort that I know of. It depends on roughly 30 libraries and takes 10-15 seconds to run, but hey, at least it does what it's supposed to! I guess that means it's good code!

Honest question.

Did terry actually create an impressive OS? All I see is a random Bible quoter, which can be done in 2 days.

Despite being doomed to stay a hobbyist project, the concepts behind TempleOS are worth thinking about where mainstream computing has gone and how complicated it is to get in control in modern OSes. Programming is a chore in systems that pander to the least common denominator.

Actually, for national merit you need to get the necessary score on the PSAT AND then score in the 99th percentile on the SAT.

Let's be real though: HolyC is kinda impressive.

Could be. I'm 2 yrs older than Terry so we would have gone through the same process, I got 0.20 percentile on my PSAT but had the flu when I took the SAT and only got 1380, but got several national merit scholarships anyway. Maybe 1380 was still 1% though.
