> The stack does not grow because HolyC does not utilize virtual memory.

How does this work?


memory is identity mapped in templeos. so page faults are meaningless.

that statement is false though, because paging is mandatory in long mode. all memory accesses are virtual memory accesses.


If all memory is identity mapped, how does one program cooperate with another absent OS intervention? Can memory corruption happen when one process accidentally writes in the address space of another? What about overflows?


yes

the whole os is one address space


There’s a lot of weird stuff between Vegas and CA! The weirdest one is an abandoned Nuclear bunker which I believe was built by AT&T 30ish years ago off Razor Road. Eddie World is up there too, something tells me not to trust a giant ice cream cone in the middle of nowhere :)


You can also find the ruins of an abandoned water park!

A giant ice cream cone in the desert, no less!


It's one thing to advertise something as a modernized version and another to advertise it as the original work of the authors. Isn't it worth preserving how things were in the past? If not how will we understand where we came from? How will we know how to learn from mistakes if they're just erased?


That's an interesting point. I would agree that the attribution should clearly state "Revised in 2023 by Puffin" or something along these lines.

As for:

> Isn't it worth preserving how things were in the past?

Oh, yes, absolutely, and this is why archivists and librarians have such an important profession; and also why copyright law sucks so much. Do be angry at copyright law, don't be angry at the decision to modernize the texts.


"Why do we lie to children in the places and times we do" is its own fascinating topic, but are we expecting anyone encountering Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the first time to be reading it through a lens of "how things were in the past" lens?


I'm not sure. Bright children might indeed notice some things and ask questions about them. My childrens' first encounter with Matilda was via me reading it to them, at the ready for any questions they might have had, and also (great nerd that I am) probably trying to provoke questions and answer ones that were never asked.

This is a difficult topic. It's complicated.
