@design_RG they don't really taste like much, and in cold drinks they don't soften noticeably. Although, I wouldn't mind a twizzlers an a good day
How popular/effective are straw bans? First thing, I saw a cool solution in Tahiti. They gave you a hollow raw pasta tube. Works way better than the paper ones.
OTOH, I just saw the latest Coca-Cola commercial. After the puffin opens the Cole with his beak the Polar bear gives him a plastic bendy straw. Forget that birds can't use straws because they have no lips. As soon as I saw it, I expected outcry and boycott and offence against coke. Still haven't heard anything.
@freemo @radiofreqs @crunchy so.... what does it do? :) I assume it is a component in a larger project

@Absinthe
Turns an analog input signal into a digital equivelant (same frequency but magnitude information is lost)
@radiofreqs @crunchy
@mollusk it is definitely worth it

@Absinthe I just found out about advent of code this year and it looks neat. I may try some of the challenges if I have the time. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!
@mollusk I don't, but I encourage you to try it with some of the #toyprogrammingchallenges or if you have dug deeply enough into it #AventOfCode Nothing like using a language for something that is not silly and contrived to get to know how you really feel about it.
Give this a shot:

@freemo @radiofreqs @crunchy pretty, what's it do?
@swampwitch69@godforsaken.website My guess is that it is Hennessy https://www.winetoship.com/hennessey-vs-cognac.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiJiyypvO5gIVR77ACh1iZwPaEAQYASABEgJu__D_BwE
It is a fairly cheap, albeit name-brand cognac.
As long as I continue working on the #AdventOfCode #AdventOfCode2019 I will not be posting a new #toyprogrammingchallenge
However, I encourage you all to give the #AdventOfCode a try. You don't have to do them all, though I would recommend doing them in order. You can even go back and do them from previous years.
I just completed "Monitoring Station" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2019 #AdventOfCode #AdventOfCode2019 https://adventofcode.com/2019/day/10
Back from Tahiti!!! Finished Day10 part 1 in the airport, but not sure how to handle part two. Nor, how to handle being 10 days behind!
@JJFlash funny thing, when I do C/C++ or other curly brace languages I usually put the literal on the left of the == so to say
if (0 == var )
But if you do that in Python the linters complain. Of course, that doesn't help with = ...
The new one, confuses me a little with what they are describing, and reading the examples didn't come up with the numbers in my mind that they were saying. I will have to read it more carefully while I am actually awake :)
@JJFlash I was working so late I had a == instead of = in my relative mode code for 2 hours. I am not 100% happy with the code now. I am passing a lot of things in and out that would be better off in a class or globalized or something. But for now it works. I saw what the next one is, and I am not ready what that is going to take. But I am trying to shift my sleep cycle for the time zone changes so we'll see if I get to do another one or not
@JJFlash day_9.... In the can!
I just completed "Sensor Boost" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2019 #AdventOfCode #AdventOfCode2019 https://adventofcode.com/2019/day/9
@JJFlash good place to be...
@JJFlash i am at the Denver airport, and do have a chrome book with me so perhaps I will do another too
@binsrc the site will be there, I think you can even go back as far as 2015 and do those years also. Give it a shot, you will like it.
