As you said, a simple one to start the year! Good one though!

How do you get DO for party?
|

It is a slang word in English for any sort of get together. "I'm going to a do", can just mean, "I am going out to enjoy myself". And is commonly used in crossword clues.

Okay. Is this CP specific crossword clue? I Googled a bit but couldn't find any such reference.

The English Wiktionary is an amazing resource. It's becoming much better than those other online dictionaries filled with advertisements.
do - Wiktionary[^]
CTRL-F and type 'party'

No, you can find it in Crosswords in any UK publication. Even The Times and The Spectator, both of which have quite fiendish crosswords.

I'm getting my internet service through pcsforpeople.org, but the d@mn device fried, and the only way this firm allows for a purchase of a new device is to have it shipped "within 3 to 5 business days"
So I am looking for some type of "emergency service" that I can have in my back pocket to use at any time. It must be through mobile service.

I don't know what's available in the swamp, but here I'd just go to the local supermarket and buy a throwaway SIM. "Includes 20GB Data for use within 30 days" sort of deal.
My A$50/mo phone has 40GB of data per month included, so it's not an issue to me if the landline goes down.

Here in Australia we get pretty good mobile phone plan now.. I have like 50GB (or more, not really sure), with my $40 per month plan
There was a special (still going on?) where one could get that for $9!

Emergency service is just to set your phone as a wifi hotspot - most can do that.
For an Android phone, it's pretty simple:
Open the Settings app.Select "Mobile Network"Select "Tethering and mobile hotspot"Select "Personal Hotspot"Tap on Wi-Fi hotspot.It's pretty obvious from there.
Then just contact your phone service provider and make sure you have a data plan of some form (Vodafone in the UK have a "big value data" you can add immediately for £10, which gives you 3GB of data (plus an extra 3GB) which lasts a month. If you don't the charges are normally ... um ... excessive per MB.

In France, we have one provider who lets you connect to WiFi from other access points in the neighbourhood for such cases. It is quite slow, but comes very handy.

I need to implement two functions on an apple machine
One to map a file into process address space using vmem
One to unmap said file
And then I need to test it.
I do not own an apple, and i never will.
But I'd like to at least support a major optimization for the platform.

You might try a rantal service. Your local office supply house might have a line to one.
For that matter, your local Apple store might be willing to let you 'borrow' a refurb machine or something like that with a handshake and $100 cash.

There's an idea. I'll just walk in and be like, "what do i have to do to get a machine with a clang compiler on it for about an hour?" and enjoy the looks I get.

Seems to me that Xamarin had an emulator?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Interesting. It wouldn't allow me to benchmark though, so I'm not sure how well i could test my code. The point of it is to speed up my processor on apple machines. I want to be sure that is working. on an emulator i'm not sure i could be. plus i thought xamarin was managed stuff.
I'm trying to call OS level functions from C++

Does it need to be a mac? Would a VM running darwin do?

can i compile with clang and test apple's virtual memory mapped file functions mmap() and munmap () from C++ with it?
virtual memory functions from C++[^]
Building something using and running that is what i need to test.

Sure. mmap() and munmap() are POSIX standard calls, so any of the *BSD variants should work. FreeBSD and OpenBSD use clang as the default compiler. Since these are POSIX calls, they should work the same on any POSIX compliant system, including Linux. They're certainly available in glibc-2.3 (circa 2002). You could install clang on your Linux distribution, but since mmap() and munmap() are provided by libc, changing the compiler should not affect the availability or behaviour of the calls.

Well, forget Darwin in a VM, I think. It would seem that "official" darwin iso's are no longer available. There is PureDarwin, but that's still in beta, though it's supposed to be a downstream version of Apple-Darwin.
It looks like you may have solved your issue with MacInCloud. But you might be able to shorten the time you need to rent there by installing a FreeBSD instance in a VM and doing 99.9% of conformance testing there, then do the final bit on MacInClout.
Keep Calm and Carry On
