The projects are more interesting and feel like they are actually benefiting humanity, rather than making money for some random company. Though there can be a lot more bureaucracy and friction. Pay is certainly less, though sometimes the benefits can be better.
There's also annoyances coming from political things, such as the budget not being done on time so no one gets paid or there are furlough days.

I would consider 'sed 4d' to be significantly easier than doing the same in Perl, but I don't disagree that it's not that hard to do in either.

It's a lot easier to delete specific lines using sed. Also you can have sed do replacements to the n'th instance of something. Doing that in Perl is a bit more complicated and a lot less succint.
$ echo "foo foo foo foo" | sed 's/foo/bar/3'
foo foo bar foo

An unfamiliar favicon lets me know I am not somewhere I normally would be, and to regard the site I am at more suspiciously. Without familiar favicons, I would treat every site that way before looking at the page more thoroughly. Obviously I do not rely solely on favicons, but they are a good initial way of orienting myself when looking at tabs.

Actually, since st1 is a char* and the sizeof char is 1, that is a valid declaration. It just probably isn't doing what the writer expects. It allocates 5000 bytes and then moves the pointer to point at the very last byte.
edit: Though free()ing it would not work so well until you move the pointer back to the beginning of the 5000 bytes.
