Code.org is more focused on learning and has some controls to lock down what they can and cannot access. I use it in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades to teach kids coding at an elementary school. It’s more setup for kid/teacher than kid/p

Wow. Thanks for posting! I’m curious of your thoughts on other visual programming languages. Specifically LabVIEW. My first job out of college was at NI where they heavily use LabVIEW. Every engineer in my cohort thought that paradigm was g

They did ask at one time. Around about 2008-ish you could give feedback on individual entries. I’m guessing it got gamed real quick and shut down. It was at the height of “crowdsource all the things” fad.

It’s constantly getting rate limited in CI then we have to re-run tests due to flappy failures. Maybe it’s an easy fix or something we did wrong, but we have a parallel system on DockerHub that just works™

RubyCentral pays the bills for rubygems.org. It’s a non-profit (501c3, not a 501c9). I believe you can buy an individual subscription to Ruby Central. Also profits from their conferences: RailsConf and RubyConf go towards funding infra (and

There’s a saying: "Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics." The problem as I see it isn’t the satellites specifically, they want to have a firm of understanding of what can and cannot happen. When you’re mo

And that’s if your employees show up. People quit last minute and need someone to cover their work. Anything you hire someone else to do as part of a labor industry you’ll need to be prepared/willing to do it too.

And corporations are experts at regulatory capture. I would be amazed/surprised if one is introduced and effective. But you don’t get what you don’t fight for. Just because the odds are stacked against today doesn’t mean we can’t do so

There’s anecdotal correlation between neurodivergence (such as ADHD) and a difference in how people take in and process sensory input. I interpret this as ADHD developers who see hyperfocus are able to either tune down or ignore some of tha

Ryan Davis, the author, is a well known figure in the Ruby community and has never been accused of being too subtle. This is a little tounge in cheek, but also he means it. He is kind and generous, though won’t shy away from being abrasive

I think public competition for digital services would be amazing. I also think they should be a player, not take over the game. I think the answer would be for them to host a competing service AND allow people to use their credits to choose

It’s a huge learning curve but it’s worth it. I came to Rust from Ruby and after a few years of practice now I’m at a spot where I would generally prefer using Rust over Ruby. I recommend rustlings for interactive tutorials to do alongside

The answer is LabVIEW. State machines in a graphical language are a joy and very easy to work with. It’s clear what state you’re looking. At and how to trace the execution. Most text language based state machines are a mess and difficult to

There’s equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. Just because everyone is treated equally doesn’t mean that the end result isn’t biased. Truly: there is no such thing as apolitical technology. I recommend MIT books Building Successf
