mknapper1 commented on Ask HN: Best way to learn robotics with a 10 year old?    · Posted by u/hersko

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.

No mention of Metal

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've heard about Obsidian for a while but never got around to using it. Does anyone know if I can take notes and highlight on a web page and include that onto canvas? That's what I'm looking for, notes close to the source as possible.
mknapper1 · 3 years ago
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.

I’m not an App Store seller so I have no idea what this means. You can’t just pick any number that you want to sell your app for? You have predetermined prices set by Apple?
mknapper1 · 3 years ago
Correct, only pre-approved price points are allowed.
