The C abstract machine doesn't have that much in common with any actual hardware. I suppose it sort-of resembled the PDP-11 once.

Well if players want to get pedantic, in typing, a word in "words per minute" in considered 4 or 5 characters, so as the DM, clearly it's your prerogative to use that definition.

You say that like you've found a clever loophole, but what you suggest would be the intended effect of the tax: fewer unoccupied houses.

I see your point, but the current system encourages states to use a winner-takes-all system because it maximizes the influence of that state, which is hardly ideal. It'd be a shame to pass up on a good system (or one that is better tha

The zero length array still must be aligned correctly. You can create a pointer to it (e.g. by taking &something._alignment[..] to create a slice) and pointers must have correct alignment, so it follows that a zero length array has the

Implementing `memcpy` can be a challenge of its own. Gcc has a tendency to replace memcpy implementations with a call to... memcpy. Which is quite smart, just not in that particular context... [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzil

Which is a feature! If you use `char` instead of `uint8_t` your program would still compile on a system that doesn't have `uint8_t`, but it is likely to do something entirely unexpected. At least when you use `uint8_t` you are warned a

Well given that Rust leaves struct layout undefined unless #[repr(C)] is specified, std::mem::size_of::<Three> is actually not guaranteed to be 4.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, as far as I am aware it streams video and sound, and sends back input, but I'm not sure about the underlying protocol. I think the resolution is 1080p. But regardless of the underlying technology

Why not use a hardware rng in that case? Seems a lot safer if you have to deal with litigious people.
