• 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

• Rider: Refact vs CoPilot

  OP is referring to IntelliCode. It's a step beyond IntelliSense, but I agree with other posts here: you should be really sure you're not leaking business code this way or implement code from sources you didn't approve yourself. Source: about 1 year ago

• GitHub Copilot X: The AI-powered developer experience

  You might be thinking of IntelliCode, which was released in 2019. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/intellicode/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The AI GameDev will never happen, here's why:

  Within the past few months, I have been using Visual Studio's latest version with an AI assisted code writing feature called "IntelliCode". Originally, I did not know this feature existed, as I had just wanted to update VS to the newest version, but I noticed that VS was constantly giving suggestions for completing my code. I have used a few IDEs in the past decade and many of them have had a basic autocomplete... Source: about 1 year ago
