[Noisebridge-discuss] Project Euler

[astera]

Ohai Noisebridge,

just wanted to drop a note (for those who haven't yet read about it  
via twitter, specifically) that us weird Europeans (at the Metalab,  
that is) just started a new team called TECC (as in: The Euler Coding  
Collective), that made it our business to go through every single  
mathematical problem on the Project Euler site in various languages.

So far, we've got six TECC members, used nine different languages  
(that being Python, Ruby, Lisp, Javascript, C#, C++, C, Haskell and  
Assembler), and encountered problem no. 10, each of these numbers  
being incremented almost daily - and we're having the time of our  
lifes (or well, lots of fun at least)!

TECC meets once a week (officially; in fact, it's been a little more  
often for now) to nerd around together, try out new things and get and  
give help from/to each other. (Pro tip: running your program while  
taking the time makes it just so much more a challenge =)

All in all, I can only most warmly recommend to join the fun! Get your  
hands on http://projecteuler.net!
(and at some point, I might create a new hackerspaces.org wiki site  
for everyone to share their TECC experience...)


Take care,
astera
