Re:Ask HN: Best Graphics libraries to build CAD solutions? on Friday August 28, 2020 @11:48AM (#24306279)
If open source suits you fine then I would recommend Blender. See [1] and [2] as examples of blender plugins for open foam based simulations.

With Blender you get advantages of open source, game engines and a fairly extensible 3d toolkit.

Awesome. Many of us underestimate but on HN also appreciate how much effort it takes to take to ship something, so keep going at it. Respect!

>> Not if you are on an H1B visa ;-)

But one must also 100% expect themselves to evaluate thoroughly T&C, pros and cons before signing up for anything, including a visa.

>> Personally, though, I would bet on dedicated, single-purpose robots, working together through wireless communication.

Robonix Philosophy at play here, inspired from Unix philosophy [1]

- Make each robot do one thing well

- Expect the output of every robot to become the input to another

- Design and build robots to be tried early, ideally within weeks

- Use robots in preference to unskilled help to lighten a chore task

Re:Ask HN: How did you learn functional programming? on Monday July 13, 2020 @06:33AM (#23819225)
+10 for the chapter on recursion. It is not only a must read but probably the only thing one needs to read to understand Recursion.

I suspect Christopher Nolan read the chapter on recursion before writing Inception :-)

Re:Reintroducing Dip – My take on a programming language for beginners on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @04:10AM (#23756829)
This looks great.

It will be super useful for beginners if you integrate Dip in the browser in your Learning path tutorial. You already give that option in the Install options.
