How floats work is a non-trivial part of my 3rd semester CS course (Computer Architecture) in the US, I'd imagine the same applies to every other good college.

The ESP32 comes with SBC built in, and the (open source) software is still under development, so presumably it'll get added later.

As someone genuinely passionate about technology who sees the 90% in it for just the easy money at college, I'm very happy. Less superficial monetary incentive means people who are truly passionate about the craft will have more of an opportunity to shine.

Can someone ELI5 why MBTA has to trust the balance stored on the card in the first place? It seems like this whole issue would go away if they just kept the balance on the server and flagged cards that did not corroborate.
