Why is always held on the Oxford home pitch, we never see it run on the Cam
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

Living in Cambridge I can tell you that the Cam is too narrow for two boats side by side in a race.

The original gender discrimination was based on a typo in the rules - it was meant to say both teams must have a cox[^].

Was one of the boats lacking any cox?

My claim to fame - I was part of the team that had the largest cox in the university, and I was indeed the biggest cox around.
We were a "social" crew - interested in learning, but not in 5am starts needed for proper competition. The crew's original cox was, as you'd expect, tiny and had never rowed - so in his final term I swapped with him so he could at least have a go.

That was known as a 'gentleman oarsman' in my day. I was one too.
I've rowed part of the boat race course and was really surprised by the current, you have to row quite hard just to stand still.

My missus is a good rower. She can row better than most. She will row with anyone. She's always rowing - shes never been near a boat though.

Do you visit the Korova Milk Bar often?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

The other day, in the course of my job, I was presented with the following challenge.
Given an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) and the "number of set leading bits of the subnet mask", generate the actual subnet mask.
For example, given an IPv4 address and the value 16, produce 255.255.0.0 .
There are thirty-three such subnet masks for IPv4 and one hundred twenty-nine for IPv6.
I, of course, created a look-up table (in a database) rather than generating the mask each time, but I still had to write the code to do it (so I did).
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to do likewise in a language of your choice, or at least describe a technique.
