Magic-trace: Diagnosing tricky performance issues easily with Intel Processor Trace
Intel Processor Trace is a hardware technology that can record all program execution flow along with timing information accurate to around 30ns. As far as I ...

Finally got all of the GPT and MBR code put together, most of the bugs fixed, and released it as a downloadable Linux binary. Does a pretty good job of reading the data and giving out way too much information regarding the MBR and/or GUID partition table.

And there are a couple of reasons why I have so many ideas but so few projects..

Another revision or two of the `driveinfo` command done and I think I have almost all of the information. Spent some time getting EBR and logical partitions showing everything it needed to as well as being able to follow the logical partition chain using either CHS or LBA.

Hell yeah, finished up the GPT-side of the Zig driveinfo program. JSON output looks exactly like it's supposed to, and now to move the allocator back into the struct which will clean up stuff as well. I'll deal with the MBR-side tomorrow, but pretty happy to have figured this out.

After a bit of work, I think I've got a handle on getting this struct all JSON-ified. A bit of reflection in place and it's no longer very angry...also, the `inline` keyword is very damned important with respect to looping over the fields of the struct.

Make some time to hit the library this weekend. Pick up a book from the store on the corner. Go through your shelves and build a stack of books you bought that you’ve been meaning to read.
