The linked video seems mostly about UI usage, and one rarely sees nice live action UI demos for machines that (mostly) no longer exist. They should do a sequel that shows these other very powerful system features you mention.
One practical downside is that the live editing / code & continue / source code-free operation (mentioned in the Interlisp-D segment of the video) could lead to needing "just the right image" with all the installed definitions you wanted. Sometimes "source code" might not even exist which could lead to coordination issues.
- thequux 6y agoSadly the deep dive got cut due to time limitations (both in terms of time during the talk and finding out that all of my alphas were in various states of non-working as I started preparing that segment) Had I had time, I would have patched the NFS code to run in "permissionless" mode, where it asks what creds are necessary to access a file, then just sends those creds. Hopefully somebody will be inspired to explore and blog about it though :-D
