Like me who didn’t know about feature flags it is described here. [1]

Sorry but what is SAFe? (No pun intended)

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.

Disclaimer. I am the author of [1] and [2].

Can you please tell which? Thanks I too am planning to buy new pair.

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!

Referrals are the best form of cover letter!

But emacs is an OS, no? :)

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

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

+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 :-)

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.

The genius candidate is one with the quick answer but gives a slow answer :-)

A library (macOS, iOS) that converts the files supported by Assimp to Scene Kit scenes. [1]

PlantUML [1] if you want to create diagrams with textual descriptions. I find that much easier to modify and maintain in the long run.

$500 And must be returned at the end of the program

From press release [1] >> The DTK, which must be returned to Apple at the end of the program ... Developers can apply to the program at developer.apple.com, and the total cost of the program is $500.

From a practical standpoint, when you can write idiomatic code in the paradigm that the language supports.

And inversely, when you can confidently do code reviews and your comments are in the idiomatic zone.

This is excellent advise and goes into the `Goals vs Systems` territory. A good sensible and enjoyable read for the same would be Chapter 5 'Goals vs Systems` from [1].

From personal experience, opting for the systems approach has helped me:

- Focus on multiple activities (max 4) with time bucketing and ensuring the time bucket has a task that can be done, like the actionable gym example above

- You are not worried about reaching the goal, instead you consistently put in the effort and don't feel the void when and if any goal is completed

- Systems help a ton in tackling complex or difficult subjects.

YMMV and mind you, earlier I was goal focussed and IMHO, got lesser done.

Triplebyte has definitely been the worst experience I have ever had, in fact they are so bad, i would rate them below the other unprofessional recruiters we all come across!

Using my CL based sudoku solver [1], I got the following solution. The solution is valid but different from what is shown in the video. IIRC, a sudoku board can have multiple solutions but anyone out here can explain why so? I am no sudoku expert or enjoying solving sudokus anyways!

Yes, the GP username is also a hint!

Not always, though. See every bug and exploit with C arrays ...

That can also be perceived as a a flaw of the language design in that it does not allow one to write dumb, safe and fast code. Which are such languages in existence today?

edit: fixed typos

m.o. = modus operandi

I am not sure if Sam or anyone would have expected this to happen in the near future?

Thanks for sharing this extension info, works for me as well.

The MacMini has also been updated, from the MacBook Air newsroom article, at the bottom of the page:

``` Mac mini Also Updated Today

Whether they are using it as a desktop computer, a music and movie storage hub for the family, or as a code compile server for Xcode, customers love Mac mini. The standard configurations of Mac mini now come with double the storage capacity. The $799 configuration now comes standard with 256GB, while the $1,099 configuration features 512GB of storage, and every Mac mini is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. ```
