@Surasanji as soon as you send the check I will have a version with your name on it.. This one looks really easy though, the trick is making it pythonic. I can almost imagine a regex solution.

@buffaloser he doesn't hate food, he's just dead so his stomach has decomposed.

I don't mind TV or whatever, because it can be something to teach and learn. Like, I don't care if my kids watch Disney movies and sing the songs and want the albums or whatever.

That's fine for me.

It's the direct marketing to children that I find distasteful. 'Hey Kids, buy this cereal, free toy!' sort of BS.

As a parent, of course, it's your duty to monitor and filter what sort of media your children are consuming- but like TV as a babysitter is terrible.

I'm against marketing anything to children, to be honest.

Kids play with whatever is available. Anything is a toy when you're a kid if it facilitates play.

Today's Freebie. It's marked as easy.

This problem was asked by Amazon.

Run-length encoding is a fast and simple method of encoding strings. The basic idea is to represent repeated successive characters as a single count and character. For example, the string "AAAABBBCCDAA" would be encoded as "4A3B2C1D2A".

Implement run-length encoding and decoding. You can assume the string to be encoded have no digits and consists solely of alphabetic characters. You can assume the string to be decoded is valid.

@freemo Oh, I'm addicted to all sorts of stuff. Caffeine included! :P

@freemo Yeah, not pressure, more like a pin-point pain with more general 'area' pain along the skull. The espresso seems to have helped, though.

It's two pointed. Skull, just above and behind the ears, and a single point behind my right eye, upper and inside (closer to the nose and forehead)

@freemo I don't feel sick, either. Like, it's just this headache. Woke up with it and it's just gotten worse.

Family history of migraines, too. Though, I've been lucky to not have serious ones.
