• A 15 pound computer to inspire young programmers (2011)

  [Disclaimer: I work at the BBC.] ...later on, the BBC made[0] the micro:bit[1], another £15 (well, around £15 back then for the V1) computer to inspire young programmers. Funny to think that little did the BBC know that they'd be creating their own cheap computer. [0]: Well, the BBC didn't _make_ it exactly — rather, the development and manufacturing was subcontracted to third-party companies (though some people... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://microbit.org/ are really good in my experience too, maybe a little bit dated now and they seem to have lost momentum, but they're super cheap and providing something physical that you can actually code is pretty exciting to a lot of kids. Source: 11 months ago

• google developed course on Rust

  Comprehensive Rust 🦀: Bare-Metal: a 1-day class on how to use Rust for bare-metal development. You will learn what no_std is and see how you can write firmware for microcontrollers (a micro:bit) and well as how to write drivers for a more powerful application processor (using Qemu).

• Sony backs Raspberry Pi with fresh funding, access to A.I. chips

  Kids in the UK (and elsewhere?) can access the Micro:bit computer[0], while not the same and powerful/extendable as R Pi - it is cheap, good and plenty available. It includes a LED display and motion sensor. Kids can program it using "block coding", or write Python code that runs with the help of MicroPython[1].

• Can you use a real computer to replace a Raspberry Pi?

  You might look at the BBC micro:bit board that was designed to teach programmaing for school-age students, and has a large tutorial system and hardware add-ons built around it. As with the Raspberry Pi, the board alone is out of stock in most places, but you can buy a mini "kit" for a few dollars more, for example at parallax in the usa for $20, in stock. When you see a jumble of parts for sale "for the pi" or... Source: over 1 year ago

• Dasher Things - Evan, do you copy? (S01E01)

  Only problem I have with this promotion of Dash is that the 'Dash is Digital Cash' got snowed under with all the references to dash.org and there is also a very very short time to understand why Dash is Digital Cash. Source: over 1 year ago

• Online tipping and its implications

  All these reasons led me to develop this open source project. I chose Dash because honestly I was blown away after trying it. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Incentivize MNO voting, increase participation, scrutiny, accountability, eliminate the 'Free Money Problem'.

  Please see my post history here on reddit and on the dash.org forum. Much has already been written on the subject. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ryan Taylor's influence on financial privacy in Dash

  During Ryan's tenure at Dash, he has managed to rid the official website https://dash.org/ of any mention of the word privacy or PrivateSend, our brand. Not content with that, he took it a step further and single handedly made the decision to de-brand PrivateSend from the wallets, the codebase and the Dash documentation. This was a decision not consulted with the network, merely relayed to 'us' as important and... Source: about 2 years ago
