I love this so much, thank you for putting this together!

My only piece of feedback would be for the "Inline Bookkeeping" section (https://samwho.dev/memory-allocation/#inline-bookkeeping), it took a while for me to grok the numbered list to figure out which block corresponded to address + X. I wonder if there is a better way to visualize the 4 numbered bullet points? Maybe just arrows and text pointing to the visualization?

Thanks again for this wonderful article!

Yes, this is one of the things I look back on as a weak point in the writing. I wanted to make this a lot more clear but by the time I'd gotten to this point in the article, I'd sort of coded myself into a corner with the visualisation code.

In another universe I'd hook in to the page scroll and highlight each block being referred to as I talk about it in the text. I'm probably not explaining that well here, but imagine something like the way this article works: https://pudding.cool/2017/05/song-repetition/.

Couldn't you highlight each block being referred to as you mouse over / click on relevant text? (The latter might not be terribly hard to do with <a> and CSS :target, if you can give the blocks ids.)

The blocks aren't HTML elements, they're drawn on to a canvas. It _could_ be possible regardless, though. I may revisit this. Thanks for the idea! :)
