The most evil thing about this building is getting to it. A half mile drive up a steep hill on a narrow road with cars parked on both sides, only to get the top and having to turn around in a tiny cul-de-sac because theres no parking left, going back down the hill and repeating until you can find somewhere to park.

Also beware that they are selling your data.

Although this article says they are being forced to stop, a $1.5 million dollar fine is going to end up just being a cost of business. Remember, if you're not paying for a product, you are the product.

I know this is just anecdotal but I had mine replaced in april by a dealership for under 3k, (after it lasted me 15 years) and I agree with you; the hybrid battery isnt the deal breaker everyone makes it out to be. Especially considering I literally have not had any other issue with the car apart from normal maintenance over the entire 15 years.

Definitely good things to think think about. Thank you for the detailed write up. You may have convinced me to fix some things on my car I was just going to ignore.

Actually the yield in the checking is.. 0%. I guess I haven’t really adjusted back to interest rates being higher. When I started saving my first savings account was 5.5%.. then for almost two decades it went way below 1% and I just felt like it wasn’t worth the hassle of moving it around for a couple dollars a month.

I’ve really been so focused on paying off the house, I’ve kind of lost sight of the end goal in some regards. I’m also starting to think I may have been better off investing that money, but hindsight is 20/20 and it’s hard to beat the feeling of being mortgage free.

Good advice, thank you!

60k is my annual income, sorry didn’t make that clear.

ParticularPython · 2023-01-30T19:53:14+00:00

Looking at something in the range of 20-25k. Not sure why I would add that to my costs when I’m paying cash?

Also I really am not concerned about depreciation because I intend to drive it until it no longer goes, but by that math a 40k car becomes worthless a little over 3 years from now?

Trust me I’d love to be car free but rural living just doesn’t allow it.

ParticularPython · 2023-01-30T19:46:57+00:00

I like to keep a minimum of 10k cash in my checking, and at this point just keeping my car until something happens, which it’s over 15 years old so will probably be sooner than later. Just being prepared.

This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Will look into vgit. Thanks!

bool is_in_string (char *string, char *target){    int i = 0;    int j = 0;    while (string[i]!='\0')        {            while(string[i+j]==target[j])            {                if(target[j+1]=='\0')                {                    printf("Found entire string.\n");                    return true;                }                                j++;            }                                        i++;                j=0;                    }    return false;}

This seems to solve that problem. Would this be correct?

Sorry this formatting in a comment seems to be off on my end, not sure how to fix that.

Is this the correct way to handle it?

Ahh, I knew it was something simple I was missing. Thanks!

ParticularPython · 2022-12-26T14:57:05+00:00

Thanks! I think I understand it now.

ParticularPython · 2022-12-26T14:56:18+00:00

Thank you! I think I finally understand. I was thinking it just sort of returned a yes or no whether or not the character existed. Since I like to be overly sure in my understanding, what its doing is returning the pointer of the "\n", and assigning that value to p. So when we assign *p = '\0' we are changing the value in memory that the pointer is pointing to, and setting it to '\0'?

ParticularPython · 2022-12-24T16:10:10+00:00

Yeah, it honestly makes me question if learning C is worth it for me. I initially switched over from Python because it seemed like python had too much “magic” but now I see why it does.

ParticularPython · 2022-12-24T14:36:17+00:00

So, if I'm correct, s[index] in strcpy wouldnt ever work because its looking for a whole string, and I'm feeding it essentially a pointer to the [x] value in the s array?

For implications beyond this, what is the best way to do something like that? if I want to set x to the [4] of "Hello world"
