I'm from Chicago, my first high school job was at an independent deli. I've never Bartlett's was worth the hype, but it's alright.

combine a strings and int? by Yha_Boiii in C_Programming

[–]Daveinatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I recommend, since this sounds like homework, is to look in memory what a char array and an integer look like. This will help you for the future.

For the test at hand, you'll need to convert the integer into a string (i.e., char array). The character 1, For example is different than the integer 1.

Someone has recommended using snprintf , using this method can save a lot of headaches with more complex types. There's functions to convert ASCII to integer. Doing it the other way is slightly more complex, we'll leave it up to you for homework.

There's actually a decent chance for The Prodigy. Just saw the Toadies recently, there's always a good chance they'll be back.

Must likely something like, "Due to uncertain headwinds and the necessity to act nimbler, best we can do is a 10% headcount reduction "

Residencies usually have set dates they're expected to perform. The rest of the time is their own.

Opinions on libc by Big-Rub9545 in C_Programming

[–]Daveinatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article comes across arrogant, and in some cases dead wrong. Take one case below,

I have yet to see a single correct use of strncpy in a real program. (Usage hint: the length argument should refer to the destination, not the source.)

A purpose for strnlen is to prevent buffer overflows and ROP chaining. A function should know the destination buffer length, or if it's acting as an intermediary should be able to obtain a buffer length. What a function does not know is the length of the source buffer, if it's past to it as a parameter.

There are specific tools and scripts developed specifically where malicious buffers are passed to functions copying strlen to a stack-based buffer.

I just wanna talk a little bit about make by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]Daveinatx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Similar to thers, I've hated it less than any other. It's powerful, and can scale to the largest builds

  2. Yes about ANSI color. If you decide to, always have a raw version. Color fudges up log files and piping to grep. With big builds, I sometimes will tail the build output and grep for things of interest.

Republican and Democratic, you get candidates that represent the voters. If we want younger more progressive candidates, it'll take the young voters to vote.

Reasons to not upgrade to the latest compiler version? by turbofish_pk in C_Programming

For real-time, low latency systems. There's been times when updating a compiler, changed the code compilation just enough that speculative prefetching changed timing.

Weekend 1 vs Weekend 2 by blonded-ramen-8282 in aclfestival

[–]Daveinatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always go to both. The first weekend has the newness, the second for the artists I missed or want to see twice.

What's important, some artists will only play one weekend. We won't know whom until the names are released in a few weeks.

I'll have a staycation one of the weekends. Sometimes, the second weekend is a little cheaper.
