I wonder how well currently used Lisp implementations would deal with multi-terabyte heap

beach: If I got a chance to play at it, I'd probably look at improving off-heap data libraries (akin to that old object-storage system that used mmap()ed memory and stored data using custom metaclass)

p_l
also was thinking of maybe attempting to improve SBCL's GC (as I use it the most often)

Xach: source - I had access to part of such hw, they were already eating significant amount of power

not so soon, we're reaching physical issues in manufacturing, though stacking is getting improved

p_l: yes, things are happily running now, telling me that aserve -> paserve has broken a bunch of things.

p_l: Followup question: Do you think it is possible to make radical changes to the memory management system without having to redesign large parts of the rest of the system?
14:37:33
beach
And you think you can make significant improvements to the memory management system without requiring such changes?

ebrasca: one could, for example, have an around method on the setter function for a slot of objects of a particular class.
16:59:49
Xach
ebrasca: there is nothing built-in to trigger some action when an arbitrary object is modified.

ebrasca: according to the hacker lore you become a hacker when fellow hackers start to perceive you as one

regarding tracking the state, the silliest of silly naive approach would be spawning a thread which busy-waits on said variable

I personally adore the tv definition: shut-in genius who enters banks from the spreadsheet console (and javascript code is spinning in the other monitor as if it were cat invocation on a really slow terminal)

But I was referring to something else. This document isn't in english, but you can see how effectively they have HACKED a piece of hardware in this report: http://www.team-cauchy.de/hackmac/

You can become a movie hacker by yelling "I'm in!" every time you successfully connect using ssh.

Hey Bike. I just was looking in my logs for something, and I noticed a claim you made about 2 months ago that I don't think to be correct.

You had mentioned that deployment on LW strips out the interpreter and compiler. I have a test here that shows both are included. Infact, there is even a :keep-eval and :redefine-compiler-p option when delivering to optionally not.
