"Interlisp is a very large software system and large software systems are not easy to construct. Interlisp-D has on the order of 17,000 lines of Lisp code, 6,000 lines of Bcpl, and 4,000 lines of microcode."

This statement amused me. 1980 really was a different world.
In comparison, SBCL has 555K lines of lisp code.
I downloaded and installed the Medley Interlisp emulator. Everything works properly, but the screen is microscopic due to my 4K 17โ display. I am running Fedora 34 (Gnome), and I have the display set to 2x scaling, but Medley seems to be ignoring it. I know from the README that it deals directly with X, so perhaps I can tell X11 to scale just that window? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Dear Lispers, any idea where to get a copy of "INTERLISP: The Language and Its Usage" by S. Kaisler? Either dead-tree-version < 80โฌ (including shipping to Europe), or scanned/PDF versions?
I am currently enthusiastic about the revival of INTERLISP (interlisp.org) and would like to learn more about INTERLISP, like general programming books, not just reference material. Perhaps you can also suggest any other material worth reading?
Many thanks!
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
