Today was a day of agritourism. Visited a couple of farms, picked some strawberries. First time I ventured into real rural countryside.

Our location is conveniently situated: an hour east to the beach, an hour west to the mountains, half an hour to Washington, and half an hour to a mountain river. And now I’ve discovered that there are plenty of farms around, and within the same half an hour, you can find yourself in wild rural areas with dusty dirt roads.

I just came across this game in uber. Very cleverly done. A set of tasks for algorithmists, timed. It seems to appear not just anywhere, but near IT company offices, plus, they probably pull data from somewhere else. There’s nothing else for the Uber passenger to do, so the conversion into resumes must be significant. And yes, I couldn’t solve a single one – too fast thinking required for me there)
