Something that interested me this week

This weekend was one of the most entertainment-filled weekends I've ever had! On Saturday, my husband Joe and I went to see Hamilton in Seattle. It was absolutely FANTASTIC. Totally deserving of all the hype it's been receiving. I admit, at first I wasn't totally sold on the rapping, but it quickly grew on me. Joe and I both walked out of the theater with tears in our eyes due to the amazing story and characters. I've been reading and watching videos about Alexander and Eliza Hamilton (and several other characters) since then, and I can pretty much guarantee I'll be listening to the soundtrack for a LONG time.

And then tonight, we went and saw Black Panther! That was probably one of the best superhero movies I've seen. The last one I saw in theaters was Wonder Woman, so between the two, I'm pretty set on superhero movies for a long time. The acting in that movie was flawless and the story was completely engaging. Plus I have a newfound girl crush on Letitia Wright now. This was another one deserving of all the hype.
 

Interview question of the week

Got some answers to this past week's question directly in my inbox, which was so nice to see. If you'd like me to feature your answer, please stick it in a tweet or a gist so I can credit you! That being said, Thomas Vaeth wrote a great solution to last week's question!

This week's question:
Given an unsorted array arr, find the minimum difference between any pair in arr.

Example:
> minimumDiff([130, 5, 20, 9])
> 4
