I taught some C to my sis today and it's hard because she is smart and has questions
like, I wasn't prepared to have to explain PRNGs but I had to coz she wanted to know how random number generation is done because I mentioned that "int x;" gets a random number and she asked "so if I want a random number I should just look at some random memory location" and I couldn't in good conscience say "yeah, that is a perfectly valid way to do RNG"
pedantic and no fun Show more
@mikeburns I did write "arbitrary" at first but she specifically said "random" and I wanted the quote to stay true to life 😛
