  1. Small nits (I like the video): 1. Heaps can be implemented by the program if the time to execute heap via system call is unacceptable. Typically this means fixing the size of the heap at compile time. 2. Stacks in modern operating systems like Linux are essentially unlimited in size. This is done by placing the stack above invalid pages in memory and only allocating the stack as it executes page faults.
