I recently decided it is about time to start using a VPN for personal use. Although there are many reasons for one to use a VPN such as masking your IP address and location, I only want to get a VPN to encrypt my traffic on Public Wifi. VPN can be great to bypass region locking, but I rarely ever have any issues with this. The VPN provider I chose is NordVPN for no particular reason other than there was a summer deal and is a strong choice for Linux users.

I have been pondering lately on how to respond when the interviewer asks if you have any questions for them. After much pondering, I have compiled a small list of questions to ask for my next interview.

Edit: This has not been tested and is merely a suggestion to myself (i.e. I use my blog as my notes). Take my words as a grain of salt)

Today I want to explore what name mangling is in C++ and what does extern "C" means.

I always thought it was not possible to create a “dynamic” array in C without the use of malloc till recently where I was introduced to variable length arrays (VLA). Although the use of “dynamic” is a poor choice, the ability to allocate an array at runtime based on a variable whose value is not known till runtime came as a shock to me.

Perhaps I didn’t give it much thought till now. But what are my expectations and goals I want to go back to school and from this degree? That’s what I will be exploring today and on a quarterly basis as I progress through my studies. Especially since the cost of going for another degree and resigning from my job has a lot of costs financially and time.
