I mean, suspiciously well. It feels like an obvious enough solution there must be a problem I&#39;m missing. Other than write guards, of course, but that feels no worse than in any other generational scheme. 2026-06-12T18:54:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxjpfaxfj8cp6tayz8qcmgqql8scapelumrdknd4y8annkne2gmrgzypvz5swxaj3aztyq4nfy3f7g7vrseq7gtxu6c9eee0kvqax0pxn5wxmhzlq Has anyone ever tried a generational mark-compact garbage collector where the &#34;generations&#34; are just watermark pointers within the compacting space. Tenuring objects out of the young gen would just be a matter of updating the &#34;young gen begins here&#34; pointer to point to the current allocate head. (Assume you have enough control over the virtual memory mapper that you can always test an object&#39;s generation with a single pointer compare.) 2026-06-12T18:52:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9xrqmzdd4gdeczrl2fyym4r57r69xu64jp0z95f27uw5t8kauzlqzypvz5swxaj3aztyq4nfy3f7g7vrseq7gtxu6c9eee0kvqax0pxn5whpck43 This is, in my opinion, the most severe problem with the Fediverse. People were warning about this issue as early as 2016 and we still don&#39;t have a solution. I&#39;m shocked more people don&#39;t quit the Fediverse entire when this happens to them<br/><br/><a href="https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/">https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/</a><br/><br/>I&#39;m not saying the operator of botsin.space made the wrong decision here. But it&#39;s broken we have a network architecture where making this decision inherently means the fediverse permanently losing a domain name and a block of history 2024-10-29T21:52:50Z
