Something that interested me this week

This week was such a tough one with the horrifying events in Charlottesville and Barcelona.  I rewrote this section of the newsletter at least 9 times trying to come up with the right words to say (I upped the count in this sentence every time). Racism is bad. Nazis are bad. Terrorism is bad. Call it out and reject it when you see it, or see people sympathizing with it. Be strong and care for one another.

Unrelated, when I was looking for music videos to code to this week, I discovered this one, and thought you might enjoy it.
 

Interview question of the week

Change or add only one character in the following snippet so that the program prints * exactly 20 times. There are at least 3 solutions to this problem.
    int main()
    {
         int i, n = 20;
         for (i = 0; i < n; i--)
             printf("*");
         getchar();
         return 0;
    }​

Joke

My mother used to say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach.

Lovely woman.

Useless surgeon.
 


Peace out friends, enjoy the weekend. Be safe, make good choices, and check your spelling.
