They use the strange names that they do because a function declared in C is declared everywhere in the whole program. They use strange names to try to stay out of your way; i. e. it would be really bad if two functions had the same name.

As I get older, I am learning this over and over again about myself. I don't understand why this topic is not discussed more. It can make a huge difference in motivation for pretty much anything, at least for me. Not masturbating also ma

So any book that contains the word "fuck" is banned? There goes pretty much every Michael Crichton book.

Another interesting aspect is the concept of retirement. The way I see it, retirement is done in one of two main ways now: people who save their entire lives to live comfortably for the last 20-30 years, and people who live paycheck to pay

I have used Mint in the past, and it has not always been completely accurate in reporting through email the amount of money I have in my bank accounts. Though it is handy in keeping track of where money goes, this is a bit of a deal breaker

Sure, people know that they shouldn't spend more than they make and --Oh look! There's a sale today at the mall; I have a credit card and it's a good deal, brb. It's about discipline more than it is being good with numbers. Sometimes I woul

My problem is trying to find which things I want to devote effort to. (I am also 21). Right now I try to put as much effort as I can toward every part of my life, and I usually become burnt out very quickly and get stuck in a sort of "waiti

That excites me. I am also a newcomer from Reddit. I believe I'll stick around now, since, being a student majoring in computer engineering, this interests me. Feel free to ban me if my comments become too low quality. :)
