I would think a cockpit VR experience would be much superior to a FP one.

This conversion has VR support as well, so you should get that same immersion, with the stronger gameplay provided by the Alliance game engine. I haven't played Squadrons myself.

It's great, I've been really enjoying it. Everything you love about Tie Fighter, but feels thoroughly modern, has that feel, "this is just like the movies!". I just hope my 20 year old joystick survives, prices for replacement are off-putting.

I love introductory textbooks. Some of my favorites:

"Starting Forth" - Leo Brodie

"Computer Science, Logo-Style" series - Brian Harvey

"Algebra", "Functions and Graphs", "Methods of Coordinates", "Trigonometry" - I.M. Gelfand (does anyone know if he completed his Geometry textbook? I've never seen it. I've also never seen his "Calculus" or "Combinatorics" books, although I know they exist. I suspect his "Combinatorics" book is more advanced than he intended to produce.)

"Sage for Undergraduates" - Gregory Bard

Definitely, and Brian Harvey's books go a long way to showing just that: Logo is a full fledged language with wonderful pedagogical value, as well as a neat tool for easy exploratory programming, possibly better than more modern options like Python that suck all the air out of the room right now.

I don't think there is much drive to teach programming to younger kids, but iirc Kahn Academy focuses on Javascript.

edited: Pointed out elsewhere it does note 16GB configurable.

Am I reading this right, that these will max out on 8Gb memory, and not even receive the 16Gb of the MBP?
