Ask HN: Where to get data files for teaching programming
Teaching command-line C++ and I need some data to teach file operations, parsing, tallying, plotting, etc.
Say a text file with 1 million random names, have the students read it, tally up how many times each name appears in the file, etc.
Stuff like this! Interesting data a plus!
