You might expect that implementing a VMM more or less requires use of a systems language such as C or Rust. Interestingly, this turns out not to be the case. In actuality, the KVM API turns out to be simple enough to use that it is entirely feasible to write a VMM for Linux in Python.

I want to introduce the new (soft) keyword
struct(the name was chosen by my wife, Andrea, as more understandable thandataonce you explainstructis short forstructureand how it's used in other programming languages). You would be able to follow the keyword with the name of the struct class. The parentheses after the name would contain the positional-or-keyword and/or keyword-only parameters the constructor would accept. Each parameter name would directly map to an attribute name for which the parameter would be saved to. Because of this mapping of parameter name to attribute name, no positional-only parameters are allowed (the only deviation from function declearation syntax).

This PEP specifies an improved syntax for specifying type parameters within a generic class, function, or type alias. It also introduces a new statement for declaring type aliases.

At the beginning of the evening I finished Lords of Uncreation, The Final Architecture Book 3 by Adrian Tchaikovsky. An action packed page turner and a good conclusion to the Final Architecture trilogy.
After moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids, Lenny finds out that between old bullies, new bullies, schizo bus drivers, drunk cops on skis, and four hundred costumed party crashers sometimes crazy follows you.
In the evening Esme and I watched Grown Ups 2. I liked the movie less than the previous one so I give it a 6 out of 10.
THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Two young women are missing, their only connection a party they both attended, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again.
THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER. And exposing him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone—fired from the force, drinking himself to oblivion in Los Angeles. It seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he has no choice but to return to the city that haunts him and track down the murderer.
CATCHING HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT. He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to accomplish what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye...
In the evening I started in Killing Moon, a Harry Hole Novel (13) by Jo Nesbø.
