- An interesting question and discussion around support for self-modifying code on x86 processors.
- On the simplest microprocessors, self-modifying code is not a special problem. On an 8080, you can write just ahead of the instruction pointer, and a few clock cycles later, the instruction you just wrote, will be fetched and executed as though it had been there all along. But as pipelines and instruction cache are introduced, this becomes more problematic.

Robin Williams was a genius, but he was also a dedicated craftsman who explored how an actor could express character through movement. Join me in honoring this tiny facet of his work.
