Hello, my dear subscribers. Today’s issue contains the usual sections, plus a bit of news about me. If you want to find out, keep reading until the end!
I want to take the time to say thank you to Lucas for pointing that an already sent link feel through the cracks and was repeated in the last issue. Sorry about that, it will probably happen again (hey, I’m not gonna lie.)

- How can you not be romantic about programming? [3m]
A lovely post about programming not from the technical standpoint but from a personal one. Worth a reading. - This Is How Reading Rewires Your Brain, According to Neuroscience [3m]
Reading is undoubtedly my favourite activity when I’m not enjoying my kids. And now neuroscientists have found proof that what I always felt while reading was not just my idea, but something true. - Why is this program valid? I was trying to create a syntax error [2m]
I don’t like bashing languages, I think that all of them have something to offer, but after seeing the answer to this Stack Overflow question I cannot think of anything other than really, Perl, REALLY?. - Fast Inverse Square Root [8m]
Not many lines of code are famous, but this one definitely is. I never was able to understand the code, and now this post solely explains the most obscure line, with math, so now I still don’t understand the original code nor the math behind it. Fun!
Video of the week
When is now? [21m]
Hello, smart people, Joe is here, back in inkelinks. This is a great video about relativity and how time is more of a construct rather than something we can precisely define.
News
And finally, the moment you were all waiting for (?) the unveiling of some personal news. After almost 10 years, I’m leaving Theorem to pursue a new experience and role. It wasn’t the easiest decision of my life but is one that I don’t regret because I have the conditional love and support of all the people who would like me to succeed.
