You’re One of the Worst
So Engadget had a post about all the “e-waste” going to Ching-Chang-Land, and from the comments there was a post to this eye opening video.

Project Euler: Problem 1
***Disclaimer: If you don’t care a bit about programming, stop reading now. This blog entry is pointless and will not appeal to you***
From Lifehacker, I found out about Project Euler. It’s a collection of problems that require a combination of Math and Programming to solve.
So I’m going to solve them while teaching myself F# in the process.
F# is a product of Microsoft Research, bringing purely functional programming language to .NET.
The problems vary in complexity, and apparently should only take less than a minute for runtime.
This is my first F# program, so forgive any blatant errors.

If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.
Solution Code:
let filter x = x % 3 = 0 || x % 5 = 0 let numbers = [1 .. 999] let filtered = List.filter filter numbers let final = List.sum filtered printfn “Answer: %A”final
Naw, Not in our House
Well this is the first season, in 41 years that Seattle doesn’t have a basketball team.
I don’t have much to say other than:
David Stern: Fuck you.
Howard Schultz: Fuck you.
Clay Bennett: Fuck you. You’re the scum of the earth, and I will kick your ass next time you’re in seattle. Plz believe it.
