Not sure if this is a general remonstrance about Google not caring about permanent URLs (pURLs) or a very specific reference: In Knitting for beginners, 3rd edition (Imagine Publishing, 2015), the basic knitting techniques have a link to accompanying video demonstrations on Youtube, and they used Google's link shortener. Of course they cover the purl stitch, but the pURL for the purl video will now be broken by Google. For anyone googling this in the future, here's the redirect:
I think there are basically single instruction strlen in an x86 extension now? This is why people say that even assembly isn't the lowest level. Who knows how many uOPs these things are. Not sure of VAX architecture if there even are uOPs, but on a modern CPU, it's crazy how abstracted everything is.
For a lot more detail, and an amazing collection of images, I very highly recommend Brook and Shaughnessy's book "Letraset: The DIY Typography Revolution" [0]
> Does Mac have any sort of built-in VM framework like Hyper-V?
Two, actually. Hypervisor.framework [0] to build virtualization solutions on top of a lightweight hypervisor, without third-party kernel extensions, and Virtualization.framework, to create virtual machines and run Linux-based operating systems.
Thanks for the tip. I will have to take a look. It'd be nice if there were some github repos out there that leveraged this to make experimenting with Linux distros (including Desktop environments) as seamless as it is with VMWare Workstation - where things like high DPI resolution, copy & paste, etc. just work without too much trouble.
Crafting Interpreters [0] just came out in print and was widely discussed here [1], there's a Lang Jam [2] event happening this weekend which also spawned a useful HN discussion [3], so I just think a lot of readers here are interested in simple and fun language development tutorials and inspiration. But it is curious, part 2 of Brian Callahan's series [4] failed to get any traction here, maybe people aren't that into lexing?
Pretty close! Actually, someone was working on a short bash script for backing up some files, tried to remove some hardcoded values, had to use google to figure out how to get the information dynamically using `sysctl` and `system_profiler`, ended up on the Github page for neofetch, and thought "hey this is great, maybe this could be useful for other people as well!" and submitted it.
