    Notice that Mr. Davis didn't use ANY third party libraries. Making an OS, a compiler and a language is an extreme feat itself, but with no external libraries to take resources from? It's even more remarkable.
    Rest in peace, Mr. Davis.

    According to his brother, Terry made something called a “shaper”. Basically think of a modern day 3D Milling machine, but way ahead of its time. You could send it CAD files and it would figure out the correct paths and ‘mill’ automatically. You can see it at 0:56. He also got in trouble at school for using a program he wrote to do calculus homework for him. Actual genius.

      Listen, I love Terry, but let me tell you CNC mills weren’t exactly a new thing at that time, google says the first CNC milling machine is considered to be the one made way back in 1952. Anyway, to be able to build it on your own back in the day is quite an astonishing achievement. And I’m also assuming Terry developed his own alternative to g-codes, cause he would. That guy was a true engineer, he understood the principle of things and applied it to different areas

      ​@@nikos4677 He was both extremely mentally ill but also mostly lucid, if not aware of his own mental decline, even if he seemed to struggle adequately describing what was happening in his head. At the same time, he was also undeniably intelligent, and would have been keenly aware of the implications of releasing his work as he did. In a stream I heard him say (Roughly quoted), "In academia, the good ideas are published and shared, in industry the good ideas are kept and protected".
      I think it's unfair to call someone outright insane, even perhaps if by all perceivably reasonable standards. Arguably, genius and madness are traits that often go hand in hand, and sometimes without the proper understanding, are hard to differentiate and separate. In this case, insanity became inspiration, but his intelligence likely lead him to his delusion. Regardless, without those factors you would have indefinitely watched an entirely different video, if any at all.

    As a professional programmer with 15 years experience. I know some C (not on a professional level). LOL this guy is not a senior coder, he is a god level developer. His operating system feels like a old pc firmware for modern x86 CPU. Fully capable to use his idea of multithreading to the max. I like his concept of using the local resources - kill the cpu, ignore everything else (even some instruction sets he doesn't like - MMX ...). This is making his games run bad (almost no hardwired optimizations, no gpu) - it is on purpose! :D Many programmers, like me, can make something that looks pretty and impressive to non tech people, but without any idea what is really happening behind - the box near me just transforms the code many times and gives a live to it, adds "MAGIC" and it runs.

    The moment I realized he was the real deal was when he casually brought up a side project he was working on. It was a full 2D physics simulation program complete with rigid bodies, collisions, thrusters, springs, and pin joints. He threw together a demo in 5 minutes showing how you can simulate a rocket with fuel slosh inside, and he stabilized it using his own control system description language that he developed.
    Depending on the timelines, it's possible the dude made a better Simulink before Simulink existed.

    This was a lot more technical and interesting than I thought it would be. I expected some sappy drama focusing on Terry's illness. The way TempleOS is protrayed here actually makes it sound like a great project. I really miss having a "pure" system for tinkering and recreational programming. And I'm trying to find the best way to introduce my children to computing, like I was with the C64. The only other project in that spirit that I know of is Hackety Hack, which is a lot more abstracted away from the hardware.

      I know this may be an old comment, but a TI-84 plus calculator might be the best bet, considering the community for it and the ease of accessing assembly in the ones that allow it, being all the ones before the 84 CE and with OS 5.3 (or older) if on a CE. It also has an 8-bit cpu, a descendant of the one in the classic z80 computers of the 80s.

      My interpretation in Mr. Davis' religious sense, no malware thing because no networking is like no doorway to corruption, so evil does not exist. No need for passwords, no encryption, like no secrets in life, so need to hide them. Single voice 8bit Midi, the only voice to listen to is God's voice. Being 64-bit and offering multi-core threading were real logical design choices. Single address mapping and no paging allowed, I am not so sure about this one relating to religion or life, but probably being having a single house address, no where to hide, no paging, because we take care of everything in the house, not offloading it to other properties or property managements? (But, it does keep it fast doing this way). No GPU acceleration, not sure, maybe like a car or something in life that made things convenient or easier?

    I suffered from severe mental illness since I was 30 (I'm 50) and worked for Cisco for 20 years. I was an excellent engineer but was also hospitalized half a dozen times and finally couldn't work at all. I ended up with parents again, so I know some of what Terry must have gone through, but it's unfortunate he wouldn't take medicine for his schizophrenia. Most metal health meds are garbage, but for him it has a decent history of helping. Rest in Peace Terry (Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd always makes me think of him)

    You have such a beautiful voice! This telling of Terry’s story really touched me. You kept it short and (mostly) understandable for the average non-programmer such as myself. Thank you for adding your tribute and your voice to the many.

      Medication is very crude. It basically blocks receptors which disables a lot of other things that are positive. Usually people will end up more or less numb and sedated, thus ruining any form of creativity and drive.

      ​@@GamingWimpGW360 No, it can't be thus designed yet. Our knowledge of brain processes is indeed very crude. Most of it actually follows our studies on such psychoactive substances. The way antipsychotics work is akin to pouring something into a country's entire water system to touch upon those who do something wrong we don't yet know what. It does get them, but everyone else is just as affected and just because we can tipify the thing that does get them says little about why it works that way. That is really the basis of most of what is considered knowledge about psychosis. And if we can say something about the most affected, we know extremely little about its consequences on the networks themselves, we just postulate some hazy material generalizations.

    I knew about this guy with the "I'm the smartest programmer that ever lived"
    The first image I got from him wasn't really bright
    But now I feel bad about that, this guy's life wasn't easy but he fought his best and I respect him for that.
