Re: Solved: Tell mechanism issue (perhaps OT)

Hi Jorge, I’m getting pids well above 64k on my laptop (OS X). Oops. I see. Hmm ... -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Re: Solved: Tell mechanism issue (perhaps OT)

Hi Jorge, how much RAM does it have, is it a 64bit machine? I have checked the number Alex mentioned on some of our servers, all running Ubuntu 12.04, servers below 64GB RAM have that number set to 32768 per default, machines with 128GB got 98304. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 12:49 PM, Jorge Acereda

Jorge, forget that question, I just got told that osx only have the 32bit version. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 1:09 PM, Henrik Sarvell hsarv...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jorge, how much RAM does it have, is it a 64bit machine? I have checked the number Alex mentioned on some of our servers, all running

It’s a 64bit 8 GB machine. BSDs work differently: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics-processeshtml Maximum seems to be 9, at least on FreeBSD. On 06 Aug 2014, at 23:09, Henrik Sarvell hsarv...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jorge, how much RAM does it have, is it a

Oh, you mean the 32 bit version of pico lisp? Thats right… On 06 Aug 2014, at 23:23, Jorge Acereda Maciá jacer...@gmail.com wrote: It’s a 64bit 8 GB machine. BSDs work differently: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics-processeshtml Maximum seems to be 9, at

Implementation Education

To be able to use a language with utmost confidence one should be able to understand its implementation so much so as to be able to implement it and maintain it. This I am saying from my experience in maintaining my Porteus Linux system. PicoLisp matches Porteus in many ways, minimalist, easy

Re: Implementation Education

Hi Alabhya, if I were you I would learn enough C to understand the pil32 source and then go through it. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 4:00 PM, Alabhya Singh alab...@yahoo.com wrote: To be able to use a language with utmost confidence one should be able to understand its implementation so much so as

Re: Implementation Education

Thanks Henrik. May be because pil32 and C are simpler than pil64 and assembly respectively.

Re: Implementation Education

Perhaps not simpler but my thinking is that it's probably easier to find resources on C plus getting to know C better might have higher utility than assembly. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 4:44 PM, Alabhya Singh alab...@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks Henrik. May be because pil32 and C are simpler than

Re: Implementation Education

Hi Alabhya, I would also suggest starting with miniPicoLisp.- http://software-lab.de/miniPicoLisp.tgz Check out the docs: http://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation Specifically, the reference: http://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html#vm You may need to read it over several times. I've probably read

Re: Solved: Tell mechanism issue (perhaps OT)

The fix has been running now for roughly 24 hours with PIDs both below and above 16bit with roughly 2-30 requests per second depending on the hour, works flawlessly. One reset from 98304 to 300 has already happened without issues. Using pil64. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Alexander Burger
