Re:Ask HN: Best way to learn robotics with a 10 year old? on Thursday July 25, 2024 @09:08PM (#41075048)
I’ve been a middle school and high school robotics coach for a number of years. I think VEX robotics makes the best products to teach kids of any age robotics.

You buy a relatively affordable kit of parts, but then you are free to assemble and program the bit in whatever way imaginable.

VEX annually comes out with new games and challenges for your robot to be able to complete. There are teams and clubs across the US, and it’s an all around great program.

I’m looking forward to my kids being old enough to build and compete, It’s a blast for kids and adults!

Code App is a similar app available on iOS. I've used it a bit, and it's pretty polished. It's a paid app in the app store but the testflight build is available for free.

Metal is supported, it’s mentioned in the GitHub readme.

I think the headline is a little misleading. The way the question in the survey was worded, implied (to me at least) that I should check the box if I host any services on linux servers/containers.
I'm not sure if that is available out of the box, I haven't seen it if it is. But the killer feature of Obsidian is the community plugin ecosystem. I would be surprised if a plugin isn't available soon so make this happen.
This looks like Obsidian's first move away from using some dialect of markdown? The .canvas files appear to be human readable json, but certainly not as readable as markdown. I'm excited to try this out, but I hope this isn't a trend towards using proprietary formats.

Correct, only pre-approved price points are allowed.
I Really wanted a daily game, with emoji sharing, that I could play with the family members that don't enjoy word games. So I made one myself.

I really wish that Sublime would add an integrated terminal panel. None of the packages I’ve tried that do add a terminal view, work the way the way I want them to. It’s really the one feature that’s holding me back from even trying to switch away from VS Code.
