<p><a href="http://www.hindoogle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMG00243-20100907-1123.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-999" title="Chinese Food Truck Oxford St" src="http://www.hindoogle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMG00243-20100907-1123-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>My good friend <a href="http://ddemuth.blogspot.com">Donnie </a>and I used to snack here after CS121. And by snack, I mean to eat a huge tray of Chinese food for $6 and sit around when we became too fat to move.</p>
<p>The cart is parked on Oxford Street near Harvard, immediately in front of Maxwell Dworkin Hall and near the Harvard Law School. It seems to stay from 11am-2pm, though the good dishes usually run out by 1:30pm.</p>
<p>Today I had Szechuan Pork on black mushrooms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very irritating compiler warning:</p>
<p>tarc.c:174: warning: implicit declaration of function &#8220;stpcpy&#8221;<br />
tarc.c:174: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in<br />

<p>No clear way to fix it. Upon first thought you<br />
#include string.h</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>The only workaround is to add a function prototype to your .h file or<br />
to the top of your .c file:<br />
//function prototype for external function<br />
extern char *stpcpy (char *__dest, const char *__src);</p>
<p>This declaration is the fix you need to supress that warning. Stpcpy<br />
is extern&#8217;d from usr/include/string.h</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graduate school teaches you -<br />
* Patience &#8211; Because a class may be incredibly awesome or absolutely<br />
terrible. Either way, it is still 5 months long. No one, no matter how<br />
smart or special they are, can make the class go by any faster. You<br />
just have to be patient and deal with it.</p>
<p>* Tolerance &#8211; A professor might be a genius in his field, Here are ( 1<br />
), ( 2 ), and ( 3 ) who I can give as examples. They are pioneers in<br />
their research, and some are personable and good teachers. But others<br />
are not at all interested in giving lecturers and have very little perception of what the<br />
student brings to the class, what students need to know and what they are<br />
lacking.</p>
<p>* Time management &#8211; No work now, more work than 10 donkies, 10 mules,<br />
and 10 graduate students can do come April. What are you going to do<br />
about it?</p>
<p>* Interesting applications for your Blackberry / iPhone &#8211; because face<br />
it, some lectures are going to be boring as fcuk and you have to sit<br />
through the entire thing to catch the one pertinent fact that will be<br />
mentioned all day</p>
<p>* Discipline &#8211; Picking your nose in class will get you a dirty look<br />
and no one will want to work together with you. If you&#8217;re bored find<br />
then another hobby.</p>
