Show HN: Running TempleOS in user space without virtualization

TempleOS is an experimental OS designed to be simple and self-hosted with a JIT compiler. I was mesmerized by it but didn't like the hassle of using virtual machines to boot it up and move files around from the virtual drive.

My project lets you run TempleOS as an app of some sort instead of using a virtual machine to run it - this brings a lot of benefits like speed, seamless filesystem integration (virtual machine development with stock TempleOS is really a pain.), command-line mode wher

Show HN: Stream of Consciousness – watch an artificial persona making art

Hi HN,

I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA

I'll be here all day (with a few breaks). As usual, there are many possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with or interested in. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons since I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same. Thank you!

Show HN: 5 Years Ago I made the Recovery Kit, I just made the RK2

The Recovery Kit 2 is another cyberdeck that for me is part computer, part backup device, and part functional movie prop. It's been fun to build, and the HN community has been great with ideas- especially around hosting and getting me off Squarespace. I hope you all enjoy!

Not for much longer though, as the company is set to release its first special, a short romance movie, on TCLtv+ this summer. There's just one slight hitch: TCL is using gener

Show HN: A JavaScript library for data visualization in both SVG and Canvas

Here's a project I've been working on for a little while now. Ripl is a JS library that provides a unified API for rendering shapes on both canvas and SVG interchangeably. Over the years I've used D3 extensively to create data visualisations so I figured I'd have a go at making my own version with a slightly more modern API and stricter TypeScript support.

I am aware there are already libraries that can draw to multiple contexts interchangeably, but I've added a few little niceties to Ripl
