Here's my question: Why is an unsecured loan for education any different than any other unsecured loan? Remember, these aren't backed by the federal government. These are variable rate loans, often with double digit interest rates, 10 yea

This is closer to how I would do it in practice. void condense_by_removing (char *z_terminated, char char_to_remove) { char *next = z_terminated; while (1) { while (*z_terminated == char_to_remove) ++z_terminated; if

My girlfriend and I had almost the exact same schedule! She's in med school (I would not wish this on my worst enemy) and I'm boot-strapping. Making dinner together and then sitting down to watch Brian Williams and Joepardy! is our most sa

This is exactly why I contribute tens of thousands of lines to F/OSS projects. Your mettle has never truly been tested until you have hundreds of developers, from around the world, pointing out your idiocy in an excruciatingly specific mann

Writing non-trivial / multi-threaded desktop software with Python is a debugging nightmare. I've been a volunteer Banshee dev (~20 KLOC) for about 4 years. With limited time to contribute I wouldn't be nearly as productive if I had used C

Huh? I think that you may be overreacting a bit. I immediately called her back, explained what Linux was, how Facebook works, and a little about IP addresses. This woman was like a mother to me, she laughed herself after I explained everyth

I had this thought a few months ago. I decided to read every Nebula / Hugo winner. I would also add, listening to good comedy albums and playing board / video games often. I worked at a company where the President loved, Loved, LOVED pop
