Aside from we don't know even in theory how to do it, which is a bit of an obstacle to overcome, I don't see how this could work without developing AGI first to operate it. That's probably at least a couple of trillion worth of R&D right there, and then again we don't actually know how to start on that even in theory.

In total the US already spends half a trillion on R&D per year. The US military spends a trillion on R&D every 15 years and the IT industry does about the same, and bear in mind most of the research these organisations are already doing would be directly relevant to a project like this. So in a way we're already doing it, and I don't see any from-scratch full-civilization self replicating technology architectures coming along on the horizon even as a theoretical exercise. Even for something like interstellar probes at least we have outline designs.

As a teacher I've noticed 3 things that deterred me from learning programming as a teenager. I already was doing it for 2 years as a hobby, but the next point of frustration just made me quit.

1. Social isolation

2. Setting up the right environment (a WAMP stack back in my day) could take me days (I had no help).

3. Understanding that if a program crashes that you're not stupid as a computer expects a 100% perfection in order to run. If you do it right 9 times but screw it up the 10th time, your program won't run if you need to type in 10 things. Teach them how to fix these mistakes and that making these mistakes is fine. When I taught at a coding school, I'd make these mistakes in front of them all the time and then fix them. Most of the time, I didn't do it on purpose.

-----

It also depends on the level you were teaching. I actually got CS in high school and it was an elective.

If you're in this scenario then teach something practical. Preferably something they will use in their personal lives. This is why I think web development is a good candidate to teach them (1) web development and (2) programming. Don't let Java or PHP be a first programming language, please. Let it be JavaScript when combined with web development (it's visual and practical, students will go the extra mile for practical).

I even think Python is a bit meh as a starter language as it is too computational, to number-y, not visual enough. JS is in principle the same, but you basically have a GUI DSL with HTML/CSS, which is why JS is a good starting place. Moreover, you have Chrome Dev Tools right built-in to it. If you let them debug early on with the Chrome debugger, they learn much faster (I did anyway, I'm shocked that my programming teachers never taught me but a fellow student did!).

Also, if you think about doing VBA, do Google AppScript from Google Sheets instead. It has a better debugger, not great though.

-----

So yea it depends on the level of the class. In all cases, I think a 50% focus on CS history/context and 50% CS would be good. That history should be split up as follows:

1) 50% Programming history

..1A) 50% Programming language ideas -- note: 50% of 1)

..1B) 50% People like Alan Turing

2) 50% What world do we live in today?

..2A) 50% See Iv his comment.

..2B) 50% Hacker Culture (Atari, Steve Jobs, a recent submission on Warez culture was on HN)

-----

Note: these are simply ideas and a rough sketch of my first thoughts. I'm not married to them, so if -- on the off chance -- you're completely aligned with my thoughts, know that I'm not fully as I'd need a week to think about stuff like this at least.
In Spain we have lots of problems and room for improvement in many issues, but one thing I can be proud of is that the vast majority of homes have blinds that close completely and get zero light in. I often wonder why it isn't like this elsewhere, and especially in northern places where it would be especially convenient (I get that it's possible to adapt, but wouldn't it be nicer to be able to sleep in any position?)

Of course, the problem with this is that I'm totally spoiled and when I travel abroad (1), I can almost never sleep well. Hotel rooms in most countries have blackout curtains but if you're used to Spanish blinds, even those let a lot of light in from the edges. And don't get me started about LEDs...

(1) PS: Now that I come to think of it, I don't sleep well when I travel within Spain either... curiously, people's homes have blinds but hotels typically don't.
The insidious thing about burnout is that your ability to recharge and rest is seriously reduced. You need more time to regain less energy compared to before a burnout.
Or decryption?
Yeah, I get the impression there's a massive difference in quality between cheap and good LEDs, and it's not always easy to tell which is which. In theory, when done right, LEDs can have a perfect spectrum with no flicker. But many manufacturers cut corners.

I can think of one more potential downside: light polution is bad enough already. In the author's case, 8x higher lux values. Insect population in Germany has dropped by about 75% since the 70's. A recent The Guardian article names light polution a key factor.

In principle, it's possible to shield your windows with thick curtains, but I know many people won't bother, some will openly boast them, and it may even lead to more of them being hung outside when people see how great they are.
I strongly, strongly prefer indirect light.
And he starts with incomplete data, as only 40% of the energy in coal is converted to electrical energy. Then, from that 40%, additional 5% are lost in transmission and distribution, so what reaches his flat is around 38% of that, or 2.6 kg of coal per kWh.

So one his coal powered lamp day is already, assuming his other factors are correct, around 5 kg of coal(!) or almost 2 tonnes of coal per year! Which is a huge footprint. Imagine that the same guy would have to just unload that much coal, delivered to his house, once a year, and to feed his lamp every day, would he still consider it "nothing"?

Burning hydrocarbons roughly produces 3 times more CO2 in mass, resulting in 15 kg of CO2 for one of his "lamp days". In volume, it's even more easy to see the size of that all: a kg of CO2 has volume of more than half of cubic meter (0.56 actually), so his lamp day produces more than 8 cubic meters of pure CO2 per day or 3000 cubic meters of pure CO2 per year. Enough to fill 25 European city flats with pure CO2 (otherwise, in atmosphere there's only 0.04% of CO2 -- that's 400 ppm talked about here: https://e360.yale.edu/features/how-the-world-passed-a-carbon... ).

"But the atmosphere is huge" -- yes it is, but still the change of CO2 concentration affects us. There is an experiment that demonstrates the effect with ink:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81FHVrXgzuA

We don't see CO2 with our eyes, but the molecules of it efficiently block the parts of heat emissions (it is just electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light is) which would cool our part of the atmosphere. So the heat around us increases, just like it's warmer under a blanket (we are practically under always thicker blanket, and we add to it with our actions, just like adding the droplets of ink in that video). Everybody should understand that much.
In Australia all positive breath tests are immediately followed by an actual blood sample test which is pretty reliable. I think its a good idea to double check like this.

I had a friend who had an interlock device; it was so unreliable, and triggered so many false positives that his sentence was extended because the DMV thought he was regularly driving drunk. What's worse is that when the device had a positive reading, he'd blow again, and it was negative. This was accurately recorded, and yet the DMV wouldn't recognize the impossibility of going from incredibly drunk to stone cold sober in the span of three minutes.

While I support the idea itself, the technology is incredibly unreliable, and since it only affects "criminals", there's no public demand for them to improve.

I'm a little bit worried about the amount of <450nm blue light emitted by these things. Even if they look warm white, there still might be a very prominent blue peak. Blue light at about 420…430nm has a very prominent retinal phototoxicity, and prolonged exposure can lead to loss of vision.

I would recommend against a common framework if this is your first venture into rust: I tried exactly this last year, but since I was learning a lot about the language along the way I kept having to go back and update previous days to reflect framework updates.
There are only few types of digital formats I use really. Text, audio, still photo, video and maybe 3d description of a place or an object, but the last one is still quite marginal.

It would be nice make arbitrary collections of these, add metadata such as place, time and author and send them to other users or bots.

If you want to go crazy you could add permissions and encryption which would enable private conversation and message board / social media style structures.
Pick boring standard file formats that are "good enough" for consumer use (one lossy and one lossless for each media)

Maybe I am dreaming of hypertext. The webserver-client structure of internet makes things easily very siloed and the ways to share documents you come a cross in the net are very clunky because everyone needs to reinvent the format and the player for everything more complicated than simple text or image.

This is the big problem I have with the WP ecosystem today.

Themes and plugins are a minefield with very little space between the mines.

Almost all themes in the theme repository are crippled versions of premium themes today. The same goes for plugins where a huge amount of the plugins in the official repository is just some kind of nagware trying to lure you into buying a "premium version" which finally unlocks the single feature you installed this plugin for. Then there are plugins which are outright broken and will never get fixed anymore and some are just filled with some kind of malware.

Oh, the aforementioned premium themes obviously come with a bunch of dependencies, some bundled plugins, theme frameworks and whatnot else.

Instead of fixing this hole mess, Automattic thinks we need the 27th site builder for WordPress and adds fuel to the burning piece of crap that the WP ecosystem has become.

Easy to store in form of water as long as we could create it when needed, but water is heavy as fuel so it cancels the floating effect.

An airbag for airplanes that would create a floating bag of hydrogen in seconds helping to do a safe landing would be awesome on the other hand. We could use the extra oxygen for masks also.
I can tell you what should not be taught: pages and pages of bullet points, classifications and definitions.

There is an ocean of operative skills that probably should be included in the rest of subjects but aren't and won't in the short term.

So I would include the basics of all those and let the students decide in which of them they want to dig deeper according to their preferences. You have music, video, animation, design, programming, word processing, spreadsheets... there are YouTube videos for everything, so it really isn't hard to come with the material.

I had to read a few textbooks at the uni, but language manuals, like the TurboPascal on-screen help that included example programs (that you could copy, paste and execute right away) for most functions were the best.

Most kids love to program even the simplest video games and it's really not that difficult to do it with just JavaScript on a browser using canvas. Or maybe they prefer to create some loops with lmms, or an animation with Blender...

I gave “Leaders eat last” a try, but found it unreadable.

It starts with SEALs in Afghanistan, because of course it does, and then the author loosely strings together a bunch of unconvincing anecdotes to support his core idea.

The worst part is his constant reference to various hormones and fight or flight responses in a superficial way that would make even TEDx feel ashamed.

Edit: there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the military can produce outstanding leaders. Humans have been battling for too long as not to have developed specialised training systems.

My gripe is with the book alone.
> The only reason to call it "subsidy" is to imply that the companies are "unfairly" benefiting, but unless these externalities have actual cost to the economy instead of just imputed carbon/water tax, you'll find no resources to divert.

It very much does have actual cost, just not today or tomorrow, so it's a bit harder to calculate.

If I break your bike in the middle of winter, the cost won't actualize until spring when you would have used it, and instead have to pay for the bus. So sure, it's not a Q4 cost, but it is real nonetheless.

So true.

That said, for an API consumed by third-party developers, REST makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, which is like 98% of the APIs out there, RPC really is superior.

I've implemented a tool similar to what OP is building: Wildcard API [1]

> rather pointless HTTP semantics.

Agree. Actually, while implementing Wildcard API, I made sure to abstract away all HTTP semantics. With Wildcard, you don't think in terms of "HTTP verbs" but you think in terms of functions. Like you are naturally used to.

> It always baffled me how so-called RESTful APIs became popular

I believe REST became popular because it got lot's of exposure since all third-party APIs were using REST.
