    A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules. ◼ We have made progress in measuring & predicting static protein structures, but the dynamics that animate life remain challenging to measure & model.

    A terminal session showing progressive compilation of a simple regular expression, going through phases with finite automata, to an IR, and then to VM style instructions. These are output as diagrams, and the VM instructions are annotated with arrows showing the control flow for basic blocks. This indicates looping, and each block of instructions forms a node in a graph.
    A simple AST overlaid with a symbol table alongside, showing some example content. It's from a unix shell, parsing a conditional expression. Nodes are present for logical AND and OR operators, and the symbol table contains variables for each scope.

    finally worked out how to make a function for addition. C isn't as hard as people say
    addition implemented in terms of offsetof(): int add(int m, int n) { struct add { char a[m]; char b[n]; char c; }; return offsetof(struct add, c); }
