"C programming is a craft that takes years to perfect. A reasonably sharp person can learn the basics of C quite quickly. But it takes much longer to master the nuances of the language and to write enough programs, and enough different

I signed up with HN to get articles related to C, yet they're about as common as hens teeth. I've just executed a word search on this comments page: 18 instances of "static", but no mention of "volatile" or &qu

"Is this just another ridiculous idea like the plan to pay for TV adverts in Romania trying to depict Britain as an awful country to would-be migrants?" That is a bit like telling a teenager they shouldn't smoke and drink.
