One article I found[1] says that a Kroger store typically carries about 15k SKUs. As another point of comparison: Costco themselves say[2] that they have about 4k SKUs, and state that most supermarkets have about 30k SKUs. --- Anecdotally,

They put some code together and published it for all to use, with an MIT license, that lets a game controller wiggle itself over to a charging puck using computer vision. That's pretty neat. If you want the documentation to be written

A 4-inch cube doesn't leave much room for a passive speaker to be very good (depending on one's definition of "good"). We've got hard physical constraints with loudspeaker systems, and they show up as tradeoffs. Ver

Gleba introduces things like spoilage. That makes production more interesting: On other planets (or Factorio 1.x), a belt can generally get backed up and that's no big deal. In fact, it's a useful game mechanic: Decreased deman

I like where this is heading. To that end, I'd like to propose 12 transitions. These should happen on the 16th day of every month, at precisely 05:14:33. Let's take our seasonality more seriously.
