I'm old enough that my first encounter with programming was though BBC BASIC and LOGO. I'd be interested how many of today's younger programmers had their first experience in coding while using a block based language, and what they're experience was like.

I recall games like Full Tilt! Pinball and the 3D pinball game included in Windows were pretty popular and good showcases for the speed and quality of computer graphics back in the 90s. Then it occured to me that modern GPUs like the nVidia 4090 would be incredible for simulating a pinball machine with insane fidelity using RTX ray tracing and the optimized physics simulator (PhysX) they have. You could probably end up with something that truly looks and feels like the real thing. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but after doing a quick search on Steam, I don't see anything like that on the market. Why do you think that is? Would it really be so hard to do? Wouldn't that be popular? I know I'd love to see it just because it would be such a great showcase for the power of modern machines, especially the integration of super realistic physics. Imagine bumping the machine hard to cheat? Or being able to smash the glass with a hammer and then put objects in the case and see what happens to them while you play? Could also be an amazing physics education thing if you could see real-time free-body diagrams overlaid on the ball that you could freeze in time and study showing all the forces acting on it. You could turn a dial and see what it would be like to play pinball on the moon! I hope someone sees this and makes it!

Ask HN: How to be a manager? Any good sources for learning how to delegate?
54 by r_singh | 26 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, hope you are having a good weekend. I have been a solo dev / indie hacker for a few (many?) years until recently when I added 2 people to my team (one engineer and one for marketing). Initially when adding them to my team I was kind of relieved that they would solve certain problems for me however after a few weeks I learnt while they do what I ask of them they also create new problems for me and I need to prepare a lot more which leaves less time to work solo. My impulsive thought at first was that maybe I should go back to being solo but soon I realised that I enjoy working solo and don’t really know how to be a manager or how to delegate. Has anyone here faced something similar? How did you learn to become a manager? I would really appreciate if you could point me to some good sources books videos courses any material that could give me a good 101 on being a manager and delegating work / using Human Resources, also using positive approach whilst giving feedback. Also, do you have any heuristics you use to measure your effectiveness at delegating? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Show HN: Standalone Jdk.compiler, Java Compiler Framework and Tree API
13 by kohlschuetter | 0 comments on Hacker News.
With this standalone compiler, you can rely on all Java 11 javac features to be available, even when using newer Java versions. Specifically, this allows you to: - compile code even if your Java environment isn't a full JDK (Java JRE, for example!) - target Java 1.7 for compilation without any warnings or restrictions. - use the Compiler Tree API without resorting to --add-opens trickery that may eventually fail in newer Java releases - build a modified compiler with additional features or custom tweaks I made this after finding that the otherwise superb "jsweet" Java-to-JavaScript transpiler failed to build and run with Java 16 or newer. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any prior work other than "proper" standalone compilers like Eclipse's ecj that would properly work with modern Java runtimes. I'm excited to see what can be done now that we have this scaffolding.
