I, for one, am one of those people. However, after watching a few minutes of the linked video, I'm convinced (and pleasantly surprised) that Caleb has firm grasp on his design, and honestly sounds like he was the driving force behind his own particular implementation.

Wow! I'm having flashbacks to Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music.

Implementation is really nice, actually. The display automatically switches to a white on black mode and the brightness is automatically regulated.

You can override either display setting (day/night and brightness) manually, if desired.

Given that it's an LCD, the performance is quite surprising. The blacks are very black. Just take a look at the set of controls at the bottom, is near impossible to see where the controls end and black bezel begins.

Would have to mostly agree here, but it's trading time spent at one place for time spent at another. (Disclosure: I'm a Chevy Volt owner, so I have the option of both EV charging and gasoline, on rare occasion).

I recently saw someone make a valid point (IMHO) that I hadn't given much thought in the past: The time spent a DC chargers is somewhat offset by lack of stops at a gas station. Assuming you stop for gas once a week, and it takes 5 minutes to fill up and go... that's around 4.3 hours you spend at a gas station every year.

On the other hand, you may spend time at a DC charger during long road trips, but you don't have any obligation to stop at a location to recharge during normal commutes, since you simply charge overnight at home.

In other words, you have to stop for gas every X miles in an ICE vehicle, but you may have to stop for a recharge in an EV (usually for long road trips).

Good insight! Really rings true when the guy "faxes" from the beach. They had the foresight for ubiquitous remote access, but not for a modern messaging platform. :)

Recently started using CoreOS for Docker Swarm, and it seems really promising. I wonder how this compares?

Not sure if you're referring to cube theory or just the ability to solve... If it's the former, almost anyone can learn to solve a Rubik's cube in a few days (albeit in a non-optimal fashion). It's a matter of learning a handful of algorithms for each layer then executing. It can quite a fun way to keep the hands busy while thinking, like crocheting or knitting.

Betteridge's law of headlines!

If the numbers of integers-per-dot was set to 1, the sequence would simply highlight prime numbers as they progress through the pyramid shape since “Parallax Compression” would no longer apply.

I was initially thinking the same, but I don't think that's the case. This will help you find a small range of six potential primes (pick any element on the left edge of the triangle). But you're still required to calculate the factorizations on those six numbers to determine which of them are indeed prime.
