[QUOTE=Teddybeer;52326303]So last week just decided to bombard local IT or even remotely IT related companies with my resume (think local library).
Local datacenter replied, my troubled resume looked good to them, possible interview tomorrow :joy:.[/QUOTE]
Nice, can I ask which datacenter?
I got a job in a factory making transformes and reavtors and poles and whatnot. Waking up at 5:something to get to work by 6 may seem bad, but from 14:30, rest of the day is free to do things if I want to. Better than 9-5 where you can't see the few good summer days.
Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52326860]Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.[/QUOTE]
I did, sort of at an earlier job. I had to do 37 hours each week, between 07.00-17.00. So while it was flexible, it was not flex time, cause I could not build up overtime to take a day off later.

That's 7-5 tho.
I'm working 9-5pm in IT for my practicum at a Ford dealership. It's pretty nice tbqh.

He means that you have to get your hours in between 7am and 5pm, you can choose when you start or stop working during that time.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52326860]Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.[/QUOTE]
I'm close with 7:00 to 3:30.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52326860]Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.[/QUOTE]
I work 9 to 8 recently.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52326860]Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.[/QUOTE]
We're only required to be in from 9-4 as those are our core hours, but I often have to support deployments so I'll duck out early on those days.

Was it an upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1? Your old key might still work. Maybe. I don't know what exactly MS did with all the keys that were used that year.

A few do at my job. I'm roughly 8-6:30 with an hour lunch. No IT here though.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52326860]Does anyone actually work 9-5? Hell, here most of IT works flextime.[/QUOTE]
once my new job actually gets the paperwork through and i start
our general hours are 9-3 monday-thursday
but apparently crunch times are 8-5
I used to work 6-14:00, then I worked 11- 21:30, now I work 14:00-00:30. Yay swing.

There are plenty of metro library systems, at least here in the states, that have their own IT staff.

I work 8-5 with an unpaid hour lunch in the middle. So pretty much. Though I rarely come in before 9 and often clock out before 5. Work's pretty flexible.
Why is Amazon offering me a free business account upgrade
[QUOTE=Del91;52329243]Why is Amazon offering me a free business account upgrade[/QUOTE]
You probably buy a lot of items that are typical of a small business. I've also gotten the offer, and I'm pretty sure that is why.
I usually buy my pc parts through Amazon, I guess that could be why. :v:
I wish the C function free returned NULL.
That way instead of doing
[code]free(ptr);
ptr = NULL;[/code]
I could just do
[code]ptr = free(ptr);[/code]
too lazy to write a small wrapper function

Don't complain then
no I'm going to spend time complaining about it rather than fixing it and there's nothing you can do to stop me 🔪

If you're going to make a function, just do
[code]#define nfree(ptr) free(ptr); ptr = NULL;[/code]
so you don't even have to type the variable twice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I pass something as an argument to a parameter, aren't I making a copy of it?
Therefore, using that function, wouldn't that set a copy of ptr to NULL, while my original ptr would [I]not[/I] be set to NULL?

oh wait that's a macro so that wouldn't apply huh
never really used psuedo-function macros before

Why do you need to assign NULL to freed pointers in your program?

It's a best practice to help avoid segmentation faults. I don't [I]need[/I] to, but I should.
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52330739]It's a best practice to help avoid segmentation faults. I don't [I]need[/I] to, but I should.[/QUOTE]
Plus you can surround important calls with ifs to check for pointer validity. It's good safety.

Computers are confusing.
So on my old P4 Windows XP would see all the ram I had in the machine up to the 32-bit limit.
On the new machine however it doesn't matter what arrangement so far I've put my four gigs in, Windows will only see 2.24gb of available memory at all times even though it indicates that the Physical Address Extension is loaded.
