Something that interested me this week

I happily finished a side project this week!  Well, "finished" as in got the basic features done for a project I've wanted to do for a while.  The project is called Todometer, and it's a meter-based to-do list.  I really like completing things in general (like in games and, obviously, important tasks), and I wanted a to-do list that would give me a feeling of satisfaction when I completed my tasks for the day.  Thus, Todometer was born!

Here's the website for it, check it out!  Still working on the installer for Windows, but I'll get there, I promise. :)
 

Interview question of the week

This is a classic problem that a bunch of companies have asked:
Write a data structure for a queue using two stacks.

Note: Some companies, instead of having you write the code, have you draw out the algorithm for this. Solve it however you want!
 

Cool things from around the internet

Pink Trombone
Hand-wired Planck mechanical keyboard
Gordon Ramsay's Scrambled Eggs
 

Jokes

Did you hear about the chemist that froze herself to absolute zero?
She's 0K now.
 

I know it's exam time for a lot of people out there. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay super good-looking.
