I hope you're doing well, given the circumstances of the world right now. I myself have been keeping busy with some projects (...and video games).
This issue marks the 3rd anniversary of rendezvous with cassidoo!! I am so excited to have kept this going for so long, and I'm grateful for you sticking with me. Anyway, onwards!
Like I mentioned before, this week's newsletter marks its 3rd anniversary! A lot has happened in the past year with this project, including switching to new providers to handle the load of all the subscribers (that's you), a new domain for it (including a new base domain I set up this week to reduce the false spam in some people's inboxes), and literally thousands of new readers.
That being said, there are wonderful people here who would like to give away some things to you to celebrate!
TheKey.Company is a premier vendor who designs products inhouse and with collaborators. This includes keyboards, keycaps, and related mech-cessories. They are raffling 1 set of Keyreative Blank Keycaps (any color in stock, winner's choice!) and any T-shirt from their In Stock selection! You can subscribe to their newsletter here.
Ryan is offering free resume reviews and mock interviews to readers who are on the job hunt! This isn't a raffle item, to sign up go ahead and fill out his form here.
Name.com is offering 4 coupons for a free domain, free advanced security, and a year of their Namebuilder hosting!
And I'll be mailing out some fun cassidoo stickers!
How do you enter the raffle for these things? You fill out this form by this next Friday at noon Pacific Time! I'll be using a random number generator to pick the winners and will email you separately to get things over to you. Thanks everyone for offering up such wonderful prizes! If you have something you want to offer as well, let me know, we can just have more winners!
It's been a blast running this newsletter and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Luckily, thanks to my Patreon and generous sponsors, costs don't have to come out of pocket for me nearly as much, and I can continue spending time putting this together for you every week.
Thank you again for sticking with me all this time, here's to another 3 years!
Sponsor
This week’s sponsor is Pluralsight! With more people working remotely than ever, Pluralsight is generously making its platform free to individuals for the month of April!
Sign up now (no credit card required) and through May 1st, 2020, get free access to over 7000 expert-led courses. This is huge, my mind was blown when I saw that they were offering this. Pluralsight has really excellent content, and I’m so grateful to them for their sponsorship and courses during these tough times!
This week's question: Given two strings n and m, return true if they are equal when both are typed into empty text editors. The twist: # means a backspace character.
Example:
> compareWithBackspace("a##c", "#a#c")
> true // both strings become "c"
> compareWithBackspace("xy##", "z#w#")
> true // both strings become ""
Imagine if Americans switched from pounds to kilograms overnight.
There would be mass confusion!
That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and cut your nails.
