Sed challenge: join cal -y months into a single column
This is a little sed challenge that ocurred to me somewhat recently, when I wondered how many weeks were between 2 dates.

I hate password rules
The other day, I was creating a new account on the web. It was financial in nature, which means it gets one of my most secure passwords.

Where should the debugger set a breakpoint?
