To everyone I follow and who follows me, thanks for your kindness, wisdom, humor, support, empathy, insight, knowledge, and time.

in 2008 James Molloy wrote a free tutorial that taught people how to build a UNIX like operating system from scratch in C and assembly

it is called "Roll Your Own Toy UNIX Clone OS" and walks through building a real kernel step by step

bootloader, GDT, IDT, interrupts, paging, heap management, filesystems, multitasking and user mode are all covered

this is not just theory every chapter includes code you can compile run and experiment with in QEMU

Since I started using Tmux properly, it has become my best friend. 

It’s amazing! If you use a terminal or CLI in any capacity, Tmux will boost your productivity in seconds.

Modern applications rarely live in isolation - they're used on laptops, staging servers, and production environments.

Each environment has its own quirks - so this is where Docker and containers come in to save the day.

In this guide, @manishmshiva teaches you how to Dockerize your application and deploy it.

I am an indie dev working on an anatomy pose reference app for artists.

- Create custom poses
- Customize the lighting
- Switch between various anatomy models

Would you use this for drawing? It is call HAELE 3D - Pose Studio Max.

Legacy Effects was able to make an impressive clay replica to build a life-size prosthetic dummy of the original T-800 for The Terminator (1984).

Feels like I'm looking at Arnold himself.

That's how parts get inspected! 🪡

The pace is ridiculous.

Imagine people still doing this instead of machines.

Renishaw system is one of the biggest shifts in coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs).

Instead of moving the entire machine to capture each point, REVO uses a 5-axis scanning head that collects data through rapid angular motion.

Combined with automated probe and stylus changes, the system can handle complex geometries and full surface scans that traditionally required slow, point-by-point probing.

[Dave W Plummer @davepl1968]

Microsoft wanted the users, for whom they first needed the developers. So they won the developers and, in turn, the users. It was a genius strategy.

But now that popular sentiment has shifted about the product, the people they really need are the power users, influencers, and vocal decision makers.

It's time to start pleasing the people who are most displeased with @Windows, because it's their voices that dominate the conversation.

They should bring back Steve to chant "Power Users! Power Users! Power Users!"

Recent steps like restoring the Start bar flexibility give me some hope they're listening, though! That's a pure power-user feature that 99% of people will never use, but that the 1% are vocal about it.

[trish @TrisH0x2A]

in 1987 a professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam couldn't teach Unix because AT&T owned the source code

so he wrote his own Unix-like OS from scratch and printed the entire source code in his textbook

a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds used it to write Linux

it is called MINIX

the textbook is "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by Andrew Tanenbaum

Anthropic engineer:

"You can build 5 assistants in one afternoon. Each one handles a task you've been doing manually every single day."

In 45 minutes he builds 5 focused agents from scratch on camera.

Most people are still doing code review, testing, and documentation by hand every single day
