Hadn't heard of it --cool. Along the same lines, Eastern Front[0] was a turn based tactical game about 10 years earlier. I played it in the early 90s on an Atari. The OPs game and advance wars have much more in common, but certainly th

Being that it is a buffer overflow, yes, if glibc were in Rust I think it shouldn't have happened. I believe I saw a libc reimplementation project in Rust, but that's a big effort and not something I would expect to be drop-in for

If you're planning ahead for LED light, IMO it's generally better to get a dedicated power supply and wire up DC LEDs, as they're much longer lasting than retrofit bulbs. You save on wiring, too, without any safety risk of so
