What exactly are capabilities, in this context? It's not something I've been acquainted with. Wikipedia gave me a short article that appears to be about schemes for tagged memory, which I vaguely remember hearing about for a hot minute in one of my intro survey CS classes, and then never again.

- douche 11y agoThanks. That section of the original article kind of assumes you know what is being referred to, and I wasn't eager to go through the 80 page pdf that was linked. Trying to google Capabilities+Computer+Science turns up a lot of noise.
