What this is

@sugarfi SILENCE DOOKU!!

@CodeSalvageON Yeah I like OS Dev. (proceeds to hide piles of raspberry pies for programming)

yeah its always interesting! proceeds to hide failed repls @AJDevelopment

@dabombdgdzjr that was funny

ok @AJDevelopment (akward silence intensifies)

@RohilPatel I'm starting to think people are more likely to upvote familiar faces versus impressive repls.

This is the second time I've upvoted him; C sharp never directly tells anyone to upvote his post, but I know the difference between quality and not (no offense to you by any means) @mwilki7

@mwilki7 I can barely tolerate reading repl talk just because someone that makes a cycles celebration gets like 40+ upvotes free for doing almost nothing at all.

I spend so much time making decently sized repls and they never get that many upvotes.

Meanwhile everyone else just steady churns out easy and fast projects everyone's already seen before and get tons of upvotes every time.

Honestly, at the rate of this post, it might hit trending @CSharpIsGud

@CSharpIsGud Agreed! Sometimes you see some cool projects where it's apparent lots of work have gone into them (i.e, this, the Sliders game a little while ago) but a lot of the time it's just simple projects made by someone who already has tons of cycles. And because of that, everyone upvotes.

@CSharpIsGud, I don't think you should care about cycles that much though... Also, would you consider me someone who churns cycles?

@AbhayBhat The ReplDB client looks nice. But like when cycle celebrations paired with some art generated by code or something gets more upvotes than something that took an entire day of constant debugging it is hard not to care about cycles.

@CSharpIsGud, i see, i understand, thanks for the feedback!

thanks and...you are maybe right i worked on that project for 2 hours..
but that doesn't mean that all of my posts just get 40 upvote just like that
some posts that i spend weeks working on got literally no upvotes but others that i made in hours get a hundred it is just luck you should not be very obsessed by upvotes because (by experience) you are going to be very demotivated very fast ;)
@CSharpIsGud

@potatojs its fate's choice who gets the 40 upvotes, but someone will 👀

lol no it's luck :)
and some cycles @CSharpIsGud

@potatojs @CSharpIsGud That is true, it seems like you just have to have the right post at the right time (i.e, when lots of people are checking) to get cycles. Once you get on the hot board, it's a snowball effect — getting the cycles puts you on the hot board, which gives you more cycles, which keeps you on the hot board...

TRUE but i thing i start understanding how to get a lot of upvotes..

• fancy titles
• share it when everyone is not sleeping aka the afternoon
• and be kind in the comments because sometimes people upvote just because you are nice with them and they can unupvote just because you are not kind with them
  @fuzzyastrocat

@potatojs Oh no, is that last bullet point directed at me... whoops sorry

oh no i don't mean anyone with the last one lol @fuzzyastrocat

@potatojs Oh ok sorry lol

:D
@fuzzyastrocat

Heres some more tips lol https://repl.it/talk/learn/How-to-get-a-million-upvotes-python/29511/121164

Wdym @behavingEffort

@mwilki7 seems about right

@CSharpIsGud It would be pretty hard, but it would be really cool! Even if it's just a sort of proto-python, it would still be worth it in my opinion.

@prestondev1 For some reason repl recently started refusing to run qemu and everything I've tried hasn't fixed it.

@CSharpIsGud I fixed it! LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. in main.sh

@DynamicSquid I think bochs has a windows download, vmware might work

@CodyTrainer should be fixed now

@len4 If you mean in the OS itself, unless you feel like writing your own C compiler or even a C interpreter you wont be able to do that. The closest you can get is calling a function when its used with certain hardwired parameters.

@CSharpIsGud ok. Then how will I be able to run another compiled file. For example in kernal the user will do something and because of that action it will run another compiled script(kernal1)

@len4 Compile it as a flat binary and find some way of loading it into memory, or give it their own unique main functions and compile it with the kernel

@len4 Python has no way of addressing memory on its own, and it's interpreted.

@CSharpIsGud I know that. I was just wondering if someone could put C on the O.S. and then put python on top of that because python was made on C. I would do it myself but it has been so long since I worked with assembly.

@len4 You would have to write a whole new interpreter that used 0 standard libraries.

@targetfanttthat Yeah

@CSharpIsGud Correction, it doesn't have to be in C, it can be in a language you're comfortable with as well!
And just let me know when you want to start, I am real interested into this type of stuff and I am pretty much available all week, so just let me know when you're ready and I'll be ready to learn/do some OSDev!

@targetfanttthat I'm ready whenever you're ready, I don't really have anything else to do rn

@CSharpIsGud Oh alrighty then. Lets do it right now then..quick question, what language are we doing it in?

@targetfanttthat What are you best at?

@CSharpIsGud I write C 99% of the time, but I came to you so whatever you prefer!

@targetfanttthat C it is

@CSharpIsGud Alrighty just invite me to the project. And are you familiar with C?

@CreateAWebsite A day, most of it was spent debugging.

Me who cant even type that fast in a day, much less understand what im doing:

@CreateAWebsite Most of the time was spent figuring out why it wasn't working.

The most I've done in a day is probably this at 1,466 lines https://repl.it/talk/share/A-semi-functional-Lua-Interpreter/25522
I should maybe rewrite it to remove bugs and maybe make it usable for something like web dev?

@PlaySoccer Of course it takes a long time to start compared to other repls, its an operating system
