    It isn't as simple as that. Especially when it comes to code, of course simplicity is great, but if you are really pushing for performance, code can get very complex chasing that performance increase. so just saying "simple is better" may not necessarily be true. Performance is better Linus has addressed this several times. And that way of thinking is really shown for example what they managed to do with Git and it's performance and usability over all other options, especially back when it was just coming up.

    @Erik Arktander I think what he means is to choose the simplest option that fits the context (if certain details cannot be dropped, choose the simplest option that retains those details). I'm pretty sure it's people who stroke off to their own ability to unnecessarily over-complicate things that he refers to as being idiots.

  • @snowzZzZz

    Of course the greater the detail the greater the complexity as you start getting into the technical aspect of how things work, but there is still an emphasis on simplicity in most cases in relation to its complexity. For a given solution, there are usually multiple ways of solving the problem, of which there is a simplest method, and a most convoluted method. What Terry sees as an idiot is likely someone who chooses the convoluted method for no reason other than its complexity. If that added complexity offers some sort of advantage however, then in some cases it might be the preferred option (going against the simplest option rule). In terms of understanding the universe for example, it's complex for someone like me, but for some people it may seem a lot simpler (more obvious). If our ability to process information wasn't a limit, then the Universe would likely seem quite simple, where unnecessary over-complexity applied to things inside of the universe would then become apparent. If everyone had unlimited thinking power, there would be no leverage over each other, so there would be no motive or desire for people to show off. People would simply choose the simplest option that meets the requirements (fits the context). There would be no logical reason to choose an objectively inferior solution for the sake of complexity of showing off complexity was no longer a factor. What's funny is I wrote all of this because I'm struggling to find a simpler way of explaining my interpretation. Sad.

    "An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity ... An idiot, the more complicated something is, the more he will admire it. If you make something so clusterfucked he can't understand it, he's gonna think you're a god..." "That's how they write academic journals. They try to make it so complicated people think they're a genius." Wise words, actually.

    What exactly were TempleOS’s innovations? It’s just an extremely simple OS with so many glaring omissions (no protection rings, no virtual memory, no proper task scheduling, etc) that it’s totally useless to anyone who isn’t a hobbyist. That’s primitive, not innovative. I get that the guy was talented, and it’s cool that he built a functional OS entirely on his own, but this just isn’t an especially useful piece of software.

  • @xdeathcon

    @ATLmember the deal with TempleOS is that it did something completely different from what other operating systems were doing as well as being created by just one guy. Obviously, it has issues, and it's not like Terry was in the sort of mind state to make it intentionally useful for other people. However, it's a reminder that one very dedicated person can truly just do their own thing if they really want to. It didn't revolutionize anything or really do anything besides exist as part of a tragic story, but it was something truly different than anything else you'd see out there. I think in some cases, that's enough.

    B.M. you sound very authoritarian, just like the people he surely despised.

I guess he did not harm others and among many questionable things he also had many interesting and rather inconvenient things to say. Your "help" was the last thing that would have helped him. Most people you have to take as they are or avoid them. Only if there are criminals or bullies or alike you should stop them harming others.

    My girlfriend wanted to become a kindergarten teacher which now is a Bachelor degree in Norway. So she needed to go to a university college for three years and the books she got was absolutely ridiculous. They had about 200 to 300 pages, but could easily be half that length if the authors (who were all previous doctorates at the same school) didn't put in all these completely unnecessary and redundant wording and phrases which made it way more complicated and difficult to read and understand. She gave up and just became an assistant instead because she wanted to work with children, not take a doctorate in child psychology. I'm not saying a higher degree should be easy, but damn, they make it so self-righteous and pompous.

I don't necessarily agree with everything but pushing existing hardware and scaling down makes for a truly better, faster experience.

    I think the issue in today's day and age is simply that most programmers need to solve problems fast and not elegantly. I like to think of it as my job as industrial mechanic. I was taught how to Polish metal, cut out gaskets, manufacture entire parts that were no longer available. Then you get thrown into the production environment where the only thing that matters is time. Everything is a hackjob, you barely ever have time to improve anything, fuck making a part that truly fits this machine needs to run just weld some shit onto it. From what I hear in my circle of it student friends its basically the same in most applications and websites nowadays. You need to push features and fixes fast, not good. You snooze you loose. The average user does not care how a program looks under the hood or how efficient it is as long as he can watch cat videos on KZread and zerk off on the hub. So with more and more programs including more libraries and bloat than they technically need the demand for better hardware rises. In the past porogrammers had to be efficient with performance and space because the average PC had little of either. Nowadays you are just SOL if you try to get even browsing done on a 4 year old laptop.

    Tech fruition is a real phenomenon. You can often predict it. For example, we started with two color displays, went to 8, 16, 256....etc, and realized 'Tru Color' (one byte per channel) by around 1990, with (basically) more colors than human's can distinguish between. As soon as we hit that obvious fruition point (enough colors for practically every usecase), we stopped adding more colors, and immediately refocussed on reducing the cost per color. JPG and PNG came out about five years later, but we never added any more colors, to this day, one byte per channel, because that actually is enough for anyone. The same thing is true of audio: Blips and beeps evolved into CDs (again, with rapid development over a few decades), but that was good enough, so we stopped increasing the audio quality, and started lowering the price per sample, with MP3 and AAC coming out a few years later. Specs and performance *should* only improve while there are usecases that the current tech is not advanced enough to address. From that point onwards, every advance should be a cost-reduction. Businesses often push in some other direction, so a technology's fruition can be denied and delayed for a while in some cases.

    Man, Terry's moments of clarity are so fucking straight to the point. Some of his ideas involved here aren't just luck or some rant. He understands the requirements, concepts and foresight that it takes to make cutting edge software. It's almost like TempleOS is a research PhD thesis in mental illness. Obviously his code reflects his isolated state, he wrote a fucking OS that exists only on simple hardware or VMs. I think his experiences at Ticketmaster and such really fucked his mind up. However his foresight into KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) for large monolithic programs is actually correct. As our demands get larger we need more small optimized machines than we do big ones. Terry's engineering downfall was forgetting how cheap it is to deploy a million VMs in the near future. But he was most likely too sick to really understand at that point, despite the racist spouts that you simply couldn't control; I truely appreciate your software and methodology. RIP T.A.D. 2018 PS: I never mention security or networking in this comment, which I know this is lacking. However, this is what I'd like to call an idea in a vacuum. It's astonishing, especially in context to other home grown projects, but doesn't live up to our current infrastructure.

    "I can crash my OS. Guess what - if you lean too low on a motorcycle you crash. Don't do that" Nice analogy. But it's intuitive to a human that leaning will cause a vehicle to crash. Less intuitive when your system crashes due to a tiny typing error or allocation mistake. But I guess his point it’s not the end of the world if a PERSONAL computer crashes. It’s not a mainframe or a bank. A crash doesn’t affect an entire company, just one person. So making a PC crash proof doesn’t have to be top priority if that requires making everything overly complex.

    He's right on so many points. Mainframe OSes make terrible personal computers. They were designed to keep multiple user accounts from interfering with each other, but individual accounts are completely disposable. All applications have full access to the "Home" folder. Security on individual accounts is 100% application centric, so if your web browser gets compromised, ALL your data is at risk, both locally and even on the cloud. It's madness! Signed drivers, encrypted kernels, and Secure Boot are really poor attempts to make people feel safe and secure. It's all bogus snake oil designed to secure business interests. Nobody cares about the security of YOUR data. If they did, every OS would have real backup software bundled by default. Even most Linux distros don't do that (but they ARE pushing for snapshots and cloud integration. Yeah... big whoop). TempleOS is kind of a weird toy overall, but there's a lot that can be learned from alternative projects like this. Linux (UNIX) and Windows (VAX) are not going to serve us well for the next few decades. The mainframe philosophy is just flat-out wrong for PCs.

    File permissions have applications beyond multi-user systems. It also prevents processes with user level access from modifying things that the user wouldn't normally need to access, like core operating system files. The obvious use case here being a compromised user (eg, a virus/trojan/whatever malware gets executed, someone with unauthorized access, whatever) would be mostly unable to cause system wide damage, at least without jumping through further hurdles. IMO throwing away file permissions with the justification of "life sucks, get a helmet" is a pretty myopic take of the situation.

Stallman loved his time share systems with no user persmissions. I believe he also liked Lisp Machines. Sadly, none of those things exist anymore. In that sense he was somewhat similar to RMS: both of them used GNU for practical reasons, and their preferred computers and paradigms are long dead.

I had a guy tell me he was a web dev. I asked him what did he dev in and he said to me that he downloads Wordpress templates and installs them. Doesn't know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, doesn't do any kind of template design. On desktop, although you can do great things with 3rd party addons most programmers programming in Python are just calling libraries without any understanding of how things work.
