Ah, interesting point, I hadn't considered that. It seems like that would take away a lot of the power of electronic price tags though. You raise the price on the price tag and people take the product at the new price, indicating the

The proposed solution isn’t optimal but it works. Not sure what you think is wrong with it? An optimal solution would be something like - create an array of 26 or 52 bytes depending on whether this is case sensitive - iterate over the strin

Travis should have confidence in the business he built while he’s running it. He’s not in charge any more so why should he have unwavering confidence?

I don't think Joel is trying to do anything with POV. The antenna is stationary, it's just covered in a ton of LEDs. Plus, he's talking about 10x the number of LEDs that you mentioned. FastLED + the OctoWS or YvesBazin&#x27

Standard Negroni is 1:1:1 and by far the best. Occasionally I’ll get one at a bar that I can tell is a different ratio and it’s so much worse.

FWIW this is why job mobility is super important. Both sides of the employee/employer relationship should be relatively unconstrained so that employees can "vote" against bad employer policies. If your employer is out there

That’s the one, thanks for the link! I tried to find it while writing my post but couldn’t for the life of me remember a single thing to even try searching for. I probably last read that article when it was written in 2005.
