/*
Say you have a largeish C++ class. You want to use it from ObjC. ObjC++ is painful;
 C++ is painful. .mm files are bad. How about if we could just treat that C++ 
object as an ObjC object whenever it exits C++ land?

Apple already solved this problem once with toll free bridging. The tricky part is 
vtables -- with a vtable, isa isn't at offset 0 of the memory layout of the object.
The code below is a work in progress to work around this.

So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!

Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.

* Off the top of my head *

1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it

    git remote add my-fork git@github...my-fork.git

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

How to add more to Git Bash on Windows

Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.

The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ is your / directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git, the mingw64 in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W). If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin, etc, lib and so on).

If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so

It's possible to use create an MCP installation for versions of Minecraft where there hasn't been a full MCP release. It takes a little bit of manual setup, but the end result is highly useful.

1. Download and extract the most recent MCP build from http://www.modcoderpack.com/. (Currently, the latest build is http://www.modcoderpack.com/files/mcp940.zip)

2. Edit version.cfg in the conf folder, and change ClientVersion and ServerVersion to the version you want (for instance, 1.12.2).

3. Download the SRG zip for the version you want; these can generally be found at http://mcpbot.bspk.rs/mcp/<version>/mcp-<version>-srg.zip (for example, http://mcpbot.bspk.rs/mcp/1.11.2/mcp-1.11.2-srg.zip) or at http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp/<version>/mcp-<version>-srg.zip (for example, http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp/1.12.2/mcp-1.12.2-srg.zip). (For 1.12.1 and 1.12.2, only the minecraftforge link works)

4. Extract that zip into the MCP conf folder, over

# Requires at least AUSST 4. You must sync updates to a locally accessible file system for this script to work.

# Does not import into Munki by itself. You will need to manually copy the plist and DMG files into a repository.

# The package installers that are created contain an optional "install" item to remove previous versions.
# The munkiRemoveOlderVersions switch will create an option override to run this on install.
