   Terry made a big deal about implementing interrupt handlers... which are how system calls are implemented

     @sysrq@lab.nyanide.com @p@freespeechextremist.com @Zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com @MK2boogaloo@lab.nyanide.com system calls imply a kernel, otherwise it's just an interrupt

     Through the wonderful power of reductionism, we can "prove" that Unix won because it had a kernel

     @iska @Zerglingman @sysrq @MK2boogaloo There's always a kernel; system calls just imply a separation between userspace and kernelspace.
     
     There are a lot of things that need coordinating if you're going to run your whole thing in ring 0.

     @Zerglingman @iska @MK2boogaloo @sysrq Conventional OS design, yes, but even in unconventional designs, you make a 510-byte boot sector OS and it's just that those 510 bytes are the "kernel".
