With the disclaimer that I let my language lawyer qualification lapse a while ago, it's broadly to do with the character types being the only approved way to examine the bytes of an object. An object of a type can be accessed only as i

If you really insist on not having a distinction between "u8"/"i8" and "unsigned char"/"signed char", and you've gone to the trouble of refusing to accept CHAR_BIT!=8, I'm pretty s

This can make sense for currency, but units of weight and distance and so on are infinitely divisible. You can just have a third of a metre if you like. Or 333 mm if the inaccuracy is acceptable. And so on.

This appears to be the coin in question: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gas-town/ - up 222,513.21% in the past week! (And down 25.26% in the last 24 hours. But... suppose it goes back up again?!)

This reminds me of Moldbug's Urbit. I can't be bothered to look it up, but his comment was along the lines of "existing words bring assumptions, so safest to make new ones". To which, my comment would be: perflufflington

It doesn't make much difference in terms of the actual gas. It's an alternative transportation mechanism for what's basically the same sort of stuff.

That's for only one of the subtypes of visa. The official site ( https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary... ) mentions a few more options, which would probably turn out to cover onlyfans if you

It is the only one that actually writes to memory. It's occasionally convenient, but it's also largely unnecessary: the caller can typically make multiple calls to printf, for example, noting the return value for each one. Or use

The Citroen Saxo was notably terrible. It was remarked upon even at the time, especially due to the target market of its sportier versions: foolish young men. Here's another hatchback from 2000, faring noticeably better: https:/&
