But for a particular variable, don't the bytes have to be consecutive? If I have a pointer to an eight-byte struct, the actual address is the first of eight consecutive bytes. The machine size doesn't matter. If I have an array of such structs, then the next pointer should be the previous pointer plus eight.
Then it sounds like you don't understand the term "pointer" either. To summarize a bit, a pointer is usually of a size (number of bits) that is a native size for the hardware at hand, and could be as much as 256 bits in currently working hardware, but typically 64 bits in consumer hardware.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I didn't mean the ending address of the machine; I meant the ending address of the variable.
Actually, I have edited MathML by hand, though I prefer generating it by converting from LaTeX. While MathML is a bit taggy for my taste, it does look better on a screen than LaTeX.
Any short-term effort you might save by writing in TeX is likely to be replaced by pain when someone asks you to produce an HTML version of the content
If it has mathematical content, it's difficult to express in HTML. If it doesn't, then it's easy to convert to HTML from LaTeX.
We're rapidly approaching a turning point where HTML/CSS will do everything better than TeX, but we aren't there yet.
Tell me when you can do math in it, or when browsers support MathML.
There are now many more [wikipedia.org] types of document (help files, web pages, books, articles, owner's manuals, laws, contracts) that people want to write, and the TeX family is inconvenient for many of them.
I'll grant you that (La)TeX makes for lousy web pages, but books and articles? Is XML that much better for contracts and owner's manuals?
A peer review panel that works for free adds ZERO to the costs. but they do valuable work, which for free, does NOT increase the costs, but DOES increase the value.
They are adding to the costs; they just eat the costs themselves. They're not adding to the price.

As someone else pointed out (and on the video), Segura stayed on the basepath.
Braun is automatically called out because two baserunners cannot occupy the same base at the same time.
Is that the Ball-y Exclusion Principle?

GCC is monolithic for political reasons. RMS is afraid you'll use it without giving back.
How does the design of GCC prevent anyone from *using* it without giving back?

Would it be better to say that the pointer is a beginning memory address, but that one needs to know the ending address (or the byte past it) as well?
Save the files as text (or whatever) and import to the appropriate application.
But that raises a slightly different question: Are there easy ways of doing these in HTML, and if there is not, where does the blame lie?
Install Ubuntu; boot; hit ctrl-alt-F5 to get a console. Or just not install the GUI at all.
Interesting that today you can buy programs whose primary purpose is to blank all of your display except for a green-on-black mono-spaced text window
Wouldn't it be cheaper to use Linux in console mode?

Ever try PSTricks http://www.ctan.org/topic/pstricks? And yes, one can get them in 3D.
And how do you put math in HTML? And if you don't have math converting from LaTeX to HTML isn't that hard.

I use emacs. You can simply type in it without much instruction.
Gedit and KWrite also have syntax highlighting for TeX. I don't know if they're available for Mac.
I would hope so, as they don't have the space to permit dine-in.

And even if you use MathML, will the browser support it?
Hunting for a missing brace or dollar is just horrible
If you use a syntax-highlighting text editor, a missing dollar sign is pretty obvious.
But they're mere workers.
I was trilled to make minimum wage, $4/hour, programming a PDP-11 in Fortran IV.
But think of what you saved by not needing a dominatrix.
Travels instantly with respect to what reference frame? Infinity is not Lorentz invariant.
How is "no" an answer to the question?

Costless? So there is no other use of their time?
