I was hoping to read something juicy like null termination was created by a summer intern.
- tomrod 11y agoNope! Only time-wasting and mind-engaging software like solitaire.
- ghrifter 11y agoSo am I overachieving by trying to learn React+Flux and Angular.js + typescript and also trying to learn ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 while working my internship? Maybe I should just make HTML 5 games instead...
- alayne 11y agoI don't know a less blunt way to say this, but the tools you use are usually not as important as the software you write. It sounds like you're more focussed on padding your resume with buzzwords. Try to work on writing an interesting application.
- kbart 11y agoIf you aimed to land on a job in a big company, "Padding your resume with buzzwords" is not that bad, because HR people filter CV's from the pile using these same keywords. Not that I say it's a good practice..
- jesstaa 11y agoReact and Redux are a great stack for making solitaire

- noselasd 11y agoThis is the origination of null terminated strings in C: "In BCPL, the first packed byte contains the number of characters in the string; in B, there is no count and strings are terminated by a special character, which B spelled ‘*e’. This change was made partially to avoid the limitation on the length of a string caused by holding the count in an 8- or 9-bit slot, and partly because maintaining the count seemed, in our experience, less convenient than using a terminator.
