It looks like an interesting article, so it is a shame that it was split into 5 pages with no way to view everything on one page. I have no recourse but to not read the article at all.

You could click the next button 4 times and read the full article. There's lots of content on each page. It would've taken 100% less typing than this complaint, and you would've spent that time learning instead of grumbling.

It's a real shame you can't read books either. Whole libraries of documents split into pages with no "view all" button.

There's a big difference in turning a page the size of your hand when you are already holding the book and trying to click a micro button the size of a word when you use the arrow keys to move the browser window.

I'll just wait until the exact same information appears on a single page. I was expressing sincere regret because I liked the first page, but I absolutely will not read paginated articles.

Also: you're obviously irritated by my grumbling, but grumbling about it is just a massive load of hypocrisy, so please realize I'm not going to be taking any of your comments all that seriously.

I agree with your sentiment. Hence:

  ~ $ curl -s 'http://www.realworldtech.com/arm64/'{1..5}'/' --compressed > a.html; open a.html

("open" is OS X-specific; "nautilus-open" might have a similar function on Linux or something.) Interestingly, that website seems to deliver gzip-compressed output no matter what you request.

I'm ashamed I didn't think of this :) Thanks, it worked exactly as expected.

xdg-open for any FreeDesktop-compliant system (basically any Linux since about 2000).

That is clever. What is the {1..5} syntax called? I am trying to figure out what the zsh equivalent is.

[waterhouse]

Relevant terms are "brace expansion" and "range". And, um, at least for me, the command I wrote works verbatim in zsh. (I think zsh is supposed to be bash-compatible like that.) Brace expansion works like this (in zsh and bash):

  % echo {1..5}
  1 2 3 4 5
  % echo meh{1..5}
  meh1 meh2 meh3 meh4 meh5
  % echo {1..5}{1..5}
  11 12 13 14 15 21 22 23 24 25 31 32 33 34 35 41 42 43 44 45 51 52 53 54 55
  % echo {1,2,4}{1,3,9}
  11 13 19 21 23 29 41 43 49

I have observed one difference in brace expansion: {a..f} -> "a b c d e f" in bash, but "{a..f}" in zsh. Curious. Oh well.

In Chrome: typing Ctrl+F <space>2<space> <Esc> <Enter> will get you to the next page, no need to use the mouse if you're concerned about moving your hands.

Although I ended up reading the 'curl'ed version, I wanted to say this is also a decent solution. Cheers

For the book there a a physical need to seperate it into pages, it would be worse to read one long paper scroll.

But webpages is easiest to read if its one long article, they just split it up to inflate their page view.

[smashing]

The article is hyperthreaded so you can read all five pages at once if your brain supports that kind of instruction set.

[raverbashing]

Yes

too bad there's a 'fence' missing between each page

Or you'll just reread every page until everything makes sense since you can read things very fast for marketing purposes

If only :/ I don't even have an FPU.

It scrapes down and combines multi-page articles like this with a click for on or offline reading. Great interface and mobile apps too, I use it all the time.

[rblackwater]

I didn't know it did multiple pages. That's a great feature.
