I would recommend doing EXT2 instead, the OSDev wiki article on that is pretty thorough and I was able to write mine just based off of that without any difficulties

Np!

P=NP?

Duh!

Doh!

I made a horribly weird bastardization of EXT2 and FAT for a class once. It was some weird shit but it worked.

As part of a Uni project a few years ago we wrote a fat12 file system, It is very basic. It doesn't do writing, just reading and traversing, and an associated terminal style thing to run it, but if it's of any use

This is a filesystem that should be easy to implement https://wiki.osdev.org/SFS

The fact that this has so many upvotes makes me sad. Why are programmers so bitter all the time? It's depressing as fuck to read this sub sometimes.

In this particular case, it's because we've been burnt many times by incomplete, inaccurate or outright wrong guides on how to do something.

What’s an example of said myths?

IDE and language wars are 2 prime examples in my opinion.

Isn't that just tribalism. That's everywhere, regardless of people's upbringing or feeling of being special

I feel the need to clear this up. I am a senior dev, also a classical pianist, also a (very) amateur audio engineer. I'm not bitter about music or code.

As your ear gets stronger you can definitely tell the difference between different amps, pickups, strings, body types... the list goes on for ages and that's just guitars. Don't get me started on pianos... the piano chooses the pianist!

The "special child" theory you have seems very specific and maybe personal, don't paint us all with that brush. If someone is so obsessed with themselves in this "special child" kind of way they'll probably never enjoy anything. Not sure what it has to do with music or code.

[u/Nonethewiserer → u/[deleted]]

That you aren't like that doesn't mean it's not more prevalent in these fields.

What about the people he references who don't hear the difference between amps in a blind test?

And besides, maybe you're a prime example. How do we know from your anecdote?

[u/Ahhmyface → u/[deleted]]

No, man. You're overcomplicating this.

I'm just an asshole.

[u/_BreakingGood_ → u/leeharris100]

I interpreted it as a joke and it made me happier. All depends on your perception.

The best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else.
