I wonder who asked for this? While 640k might not be enough for everyone, 256 terabytes of directly addressable memory seems, suffient to requirements.

- amluto 10y agoBut 256 terabytes of disk might not be enough and, if you want to address your disk like it's RAM, you need more address space.
- twotwotwo 10y agoYeah, I had thought in terms of fancy new kinds of NVRAM, but mmap'ing lots of existing storage (or a mix) is a legit use case sooner.
