Something that interested me this week

This week my family got super into the YouTube channel Quantum Makers. It's so interesting!

We're not big on "screen time" for the kiddos, and this channel has a really good balance of being just interesting enough that we can keep it on and be entertained, and just boring enough that our toddlers don't turn into zombies watching the screen and will play with it in the background.

We really enjoyed this video of someone building a farmhouse, and this one of someone building a mini villa!


Sponsor

No sponsor this week! Go forth and be free of capitalism for a spell.

And please share this with your friends!


Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you pack rectangles! Y'all did a packing good job Ten, Paul, David, Thulasi, Christian, Ricardo, Amine, and the cool cats in the Ruby Users Forum!

This week's question:
Given an array of integers, return a new array where odd numbers come first, even numbers come next, and zeros appear at the end. The relative order of elements within each group must be preserved.

Example:

partitionArray([0, 3, 2, 1, 4, 0, 7])
[3, 1, 7, 2, 4, 0, 0]

Joke

When I first met my spouse, they were dressed head to toe in muslin, and smelled of beeswax and honey.
I thought... "that's a keeper!"


That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and take a walk around your neighborhood!
