Yeah your a man charged into someone who wrote an editor in c. Tell us something we didn’t know before.

The Old Man and the C

But who is Terry Davis? Some sort of bird fancier?

IshKebab•1h ago
He was a crazy guy (in the mentally ill sense) that wrote TempleOS. The religious craziness in this project is some kind of weird tribute to Terry, who also filled TempleOS will religious nonsense. (He believed all sorts of insane things and was also racist.)

heliumtera•1h ago
And also a genius. All you said was true, but templeOS is a masterpiece.

How so? I know nothing outside of seeing one screenshot, but was there more to it than just a particular implementation of the same table stakes algorithms in every MSCS program?

Or, with a little more empathy: he was suffering from schizophrenia.
tptacek•26m ago
A homeless man suffering from schizophrenia who was mascotized by trolls.

For my part, I'd just flag anything like this that I see on the front page.

Terry is what happens when extremely intelligent people don’t get the help they need.

He was abandoned by his family and society and became the play thing for internet trolls.

His life was a tragedy in every sense.

As someone who also has a young family member who’s potential was also utterly destroyed by schizophrenia, Terry’s story fills me with immense sadness.

Even if it's satire, it's still creepy.
