It's interesting to see the differences - the Interlisp machine is pretty much a "graphical workstation" which is recognizable today, though in monochrome; the CADR is more spartan on the GUI side. I am slowly learning Lisp a

If Kubernetes is the answer ... you very likely asked the wrong questions. Reading about JamSocket and what it does, it seems that it essentially lets you run Docker instances inside the Jamsocket infrastructure. Why not just take Caddy in

This is the second Lisp, in addition to APRIL, which combines Lisp concepts with APL concepts. Wonder if that is going to be a trend in the future?

Although Dyalog APL is slightly different from other APLs, their editor does have exactly that in their REPL; it is a good way to learn the basics.

When I was studying up on APL I found that a huge amount of references were not available, so it is very nice to see now that a search done today returns so many results. Same for Snobol...

Aren't there 1000s of people on Twitter doing this for free, so they can do a screencap and share it?

If we take 60TB / 24 hours we get roughly 5.5Gbits/second of traffic. You can get a 10gbps connection, per month, for under $4K a month to a datacenter. For full usage for one month, not one day. If buying at the scale of a much

This strategy works... until it doesn't. You may well be correct for the next 3-5 years; but after that those customers will leave and they won't come back. Ever. Tech is littered with the twittering ghosts of companies that had s

You mean the case where a 4 foot 9, 330 lb woman had a heart attack on the sidewalk, and not a single molecule of the driver's car ever touched Heather Heyer? While every single one of the people actually hit by the car, survived? I ad

Just a warning: there are differences in the output from UPSes with the cheaper ones' output not working well with higher efficiency power supplies. Better UPSes will output less 'jagged' AC.

I tried a question about Snobol4 and was impressed with what it said (it couldn't provide an exact example due to paucity of examples). When testing more mainstream languages I have found it very helpful.

As a guy who has been running Unix machines since the early 1990s, including pre-1.0 Linux kernels, SVR4.x , Sony NEWS and Sun machines... I have stopped hating systemd. Since I no longer install an OS, if it uses systemd :-) Devuan and Fre

Not really a fair comparison in that the original Macintosh was competing against systems that were in the same ballpark of pricing. There weren't equivalently specced machines that were 1/7th the price.

This is a very interesting rabbit hole to go down! Multics certainly had some interesting features and now you can run it even on a Raspberry Pi 2. If they get TCPIP running on it it will be even more accessible to people...

Have you checked out Proxmox? 16 large servers in a cluster config could possibly be powerful enough for your needs (Proxmox lets you cluster 16 servers in each cluster); if you need more, split up each part of the services into 16-server
