Aloha!

Something that interested me this week
Like I mentioned before, I’m in Hawaii right now with my husband Joe! We’re doing a little mini vacation after an eventful week at https://www.jsconfhi.com/">JSConf Hawai’i. The conference was SO fun. The coolest part about it was that it was a 2 day event, but there was a “Gap Day” in between for fun activities like a luau, board games, snorkeling, and exploring the island. The actual conference days were great too! Being the emcee, I threw a lot of jokes at the audience throughout each day, and enjoyed the variety of talks from a diverse set of speakers. I highly recommend checking out https://twitter.com/search?q=%23jsconfhi">the tweets from the event, and keep an eye out https://twitter.com/JSConfHi">on their official account for the videos of the talks!
Don’t forget, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cassidoo/go-on-the-go?ref=dj6n7u">my Kickstarter project is still live! It’s officially fully funded now (woo hoo!) and I am so grateful for any and all support! If you’d like to join in, you still have time (about 20 days until it finishes up).
Interview question of the week
Last week I had you remove characters from a string to make the string an "even word." Great job Sophie, Stefan, Tamás, Ten, Nwosa, Jakob, Daniel, Dimitris, Samy, Mauro, re:fi.64, Kyle, Denis, Cédric, Chris, Leslie, Ana, Mayra, Jesús, Ritwik, Stuart, Carlo, and Vivek!
This week’s question:
Given an array of points that represent the 3 vertices of a triangle, and a point K, return true if K is inside the triangle.
Example:
let triangle = [ [0,0], [0,3], [4,0] ]
isInTriangle(triangle, [2,1])
> true
isInTriangle(triangle, [3,2])
> false

That’s all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and take a nap if you need one!
