@laboescapes Grazie ma, non frequentando regolarmente il Politecnico, quello che non ho capito è se il Campus Leonardo si trova nell'edificio storico del Politecnico in P.za Leonardo da Vinci, oppure se si tratta dell'edificio più recente appena fuori dalla fermata MM2 Piola.

@unixmib Temo di non avere capito bene dove si svolgerà: nell'area del Politecnico in P.zza Leonardo da Vinci o nell'edificio (Campus Leonardo?) più vicino alla fermata MM2 Piola? Sarebbe utile una mappa.

@catherineryanhyde There's some good detail in the tail.

@amberisvibin Coherent also supported the 286 (and possibly also the 8088), so a 386SX should work just fine. More information about Coherent and the full manual here:

@amberisvibin In the early 1990s the Unix clone Coherent ran nicely on my 20(?) MHz 386DX with 2MiB RAM.

@aka_pugs Or how it started, how it's going.

@Hyperlynx The single best thing publishers can do to fight Amazon is to drop DRM.

@c64whiz You're so close to AGI.

Medley Interlisp is like the universe of a fantasy novel: weird but logical and self consistent.

#interlisp #lisp

@thelastpsion I can vaguely relate.

@etam Good ones.

This paper reported on the 1980 Lisp conference, the second ever after the one in 1964. It's a time capsule of the state of Lisp and its dialects at the time, including Interlisp, in which G.L. Steele provided the abstracts of the papers presented at the event and added his own commentary.

@nina_kali_nina I forgot script is a text tool, so at most it was an inspiration.

@nina_kali_nina Was the Unix tool script a predecessor of $HOME MOVIE, or possibly a successor?

@arclight I'm just a hobby programmer but I'm looking forward to reading the book.

And now for something completely meta: Interlisp-10 inside Medley Interlisp.

The terminal emulator of the window at center is connected to SDF's PDP-10 system running Interlisp-10 under TOPS-20 (TWENEX). The shell with the terminal emulator and Medley Interlisp are running on Linux.
