If it was only that. But the OpenSSL code is genuinely bad.

It has been a few years since I had to work with OpenSSL and I had much of the same reactions to the code. OpenSSL has always been bad, so it is not likely that it will improve any time soon unless someone who has a talent for API design de

at least the bottom levels of regular military hierarchies are usually quite well defined in terms of structure, titles and numbers. which is sort of the whole point: people know what is expected of them. how much similarity there is betwee

Since you are just 21 I think you should try to motivate yourself to finish a degree. Because 5-10 years down the road it is going to be a lot harder to go back to school. If you think motivating yourself is hard now, it is nothing agains
