After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!

Sieve of Eratosthenes: an ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit.

Make a list of all the integers ≤ n. Strike out the multiples of all primes ≤ √n, then the numbers that are left are the primes.
