Hello world!

I hope you all had a great week! I was traveling all last week for work, and I'm excited to have a week at home to reset a bit. Onwards!

Something that interested me this week

This past week I had the dreaded annual email that a bunch of my domain names were expiring (I made a silly video about the experience). I always buy domain names with such hope and optimism that I'll finish that one project that will finally put them to good use, and alas... so many go unused. I wonder how much of that behavior actually keeps domain name companies in business?
Anyway, I'm determined to use ALL of my domain names this next year.
And we'll see next year if I feel the exact same way as I do now. 😅
 

Interview question of the week

Last week was a puzzler! I had you get the maximum path sum of a binary tree. Well done Alex, Dan, Sophie, John, Hollywoo, Matthew, Stuart, Andrew, and Nick!

This week's question:
Write a program that implements logic gates AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR.

Examples:
> logicGate('AND', 1, 1)
> 1
> logicGate('NOT', 1)
> 0
> logicGate('NAND', 1, 0)

> 1
> logicGate('NOR', 0, 0)

> 1

Thanks to Zandra for this one!

I didn't think orthopedic shoes would work for me but I stand corrected.
 
That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and Happy Veteran's Day for those in the United States!
