ground, and clear it of weeds.

3. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
shim
n.
1. A small piece of data inserted in order to achieve a desired memory
alignment or other addressing property. For example, the PDP-11 Unix
linker, in split I&D (instructions and data) mode, inserts a two-byte shim
at location 0 in data space so that no data object will have an address of
0 (and be confused with the C null pointer). See also loose bytes.
2. A type of small transparent image inserted into HTML documents by
certain WYSIWYG HTML editors, used to set the spacing of elements meant to
have a fixed positioning within a TABLE or DIVision. Hackers who work on
the HTML code of such pages afterwards invariably curse these for their
crocky dependence on the particular spacing of original image file, the
editor that generated them, and the version of the browser used to view
them. Worse, they are a poorly designed kludge which the advent of
Cascading Style Sheets makes wholly unnecessary; Any fool can plainly see
that use of borders, layers and positioned elements is the Right Thing (or
would be if adequate support for CSS were more common).
