As someone who learned programming with scratch in elementary school, the next step they did was using DrRacket but honestly I did not like it. I don’t remember anything I made with it but still remember my scratch projects. I think pygame would be a good next step as it is batteries included and let’s you build similar gui applications with an event loop. However, I haven’t used scratch since around 2010 so it could have evolved a lot since I used it and the concepts might not translate anymore.

The robotaxi’s draw will be its lower prices. They are removing the cost of a driver from the equation. Assuming the car felt as safe as a normal taxi, I’d take the cheaper one.

I’m not sure how one could enable others to contribute easily but just making the code open source as is would be interesting. Those with a passing interest in search engines can browse the code of a capable engine and pick up some knowledge. While those who really want to help out will find a way to run it and contribute (in the process helping document and maybe making it easier).

My philosophy to open source is just do my personal projects in the open even if it’s not “accessible” and if someone comes along and likes it they can contribute or fork it and modify to their liking. Or they might just browse the code and pick up something in passing.

Ah that’s cool didn’t realize how old it was. The content seems to have held up well. Showed up in google when researching NAT and imo it’s up there with Tailscale’s article in terms of how well it’s written with the drawings.
