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:

Who need fake funny assembly instructions when PowerPC has real funny assembly instructions like EIEIO - Enforce In-Order Execution of I/O? [0]

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.

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.

It's not quite compensation per se, but rsync.net will give you a very nice discount just for being a HN user. (I don't think they check how many points you have accumulated though.)

For those who want to learn more, the book "Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century" [0] by G. Pascal Zachary is very good. (G. Pascal Zachary also wrote "Showstopper: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft")

There is an audio book version: How to Read a Book, narrated by Edward Holland [0]

It was even used in some unexpected places, for example, see the HN discussion about "Apple's libc shells out to Perl to implement wordexp" [0], [1]

The author speaks highly of the book "C for Yourself". An electronic version of the book from the Microsoft Programmer’s Library 1.3 CD-ROM has been posted [0] on the truly excellent PCjs Machines [1] website, where a lot of other older programming information can also be read [2].
