I have to work with two C programs that communicate via a file-based interface. That is, each of them has a main loop where it polls three or four files (fopen, fscanf), reacts to what it reads and eventually makes its own changes to the files (fprintf) for the other process to read. Now I have to condense these two programs into a sing...

Why are 8 and 256 such important numbers in computer sciences?

I don't know very well about RAM and HDD architecture, or how electronics deals with chunks of memory, but this always triggered my curiosity: Why did we choose to stop at 8 bits for the smallest element in a computer value ?

What benefit is there of allowing a variable to be left uninitialized?

In many languages you're allowed to declare a variable and use it before initializing it.
