of course it's a concern because kids don't know that there's going to be a big gap between what they create and what they envision so it's disheartening for them

Today 01/05 the account was finally reactivated with no explanation. I only ever received templated emails from their support department demanding “proof of all payments made in the last two months”. I repeatedly emailed that there have been no payments in the last two months only to receive the same email in reply. Then in a bizarre event I received an email this morning that the account was reactivated.
> I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?
Are you really opposed to "a class" on writing software being included in CS curricula? CS courses have plenty of writing software.
The MPD approach is far better because each person's client view is a shared view of a single playlist. People can all add or update that playlist together.
No "law" of software or business is technically a law in the same rigorous sense that a scientific law is. But that's not why we call them laws and it would be nitpicking to call that out, besides entirely missing the point.
Also, it's actually the Pareto Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle) not "Pareto's Law" but that's also nitpicking.

To make it even easier for friends and family, I set up a dynamic DNS with a friendly URL like myjukebox.duckdns.org that points to the 192.168.xxx.xxx address where this is hosted.
Mopidy (https://mopidy.com/) as the MPD server with Iris (https://mopidy.com/ext/iris/) as the client is a good setup for this.
Even the tech-illiterate can get along with it.
Really a lot of it boils down to if this else that, and little more.
> because we can, because before we started we couldn't, learning is fun
That last line about learning has the right spirit!

Yes, but a public good has costs whether or not you want to acknowledge them.
David Beckham is in a highly-specialized field (professional soccer player) and this is about things everyday people use, so I guess I don't follow the analogy.
I don't think so. If you're in high school and you ask this question, you surely do mean something like "what activity will I possibly doing in my future career that would require calculus" and in that case the answer that you may be a financial analyst, a meteorologist, an electrical engineer, etc. is right on. It's exactly what kids want to know.
But now there's this myth that "you won't ever use calculus in real life" which is totally wrong.
It's impossible to live a day in the modern world without calculus.
It's a huge missed opportunity to liken it to working out.
Second, it drops you out of meetings sometimes while you are screen sharing, and gives you no way to know. It's sporadic on my machine whether the green highlight/frame shows up on screen sharing to indicate that the content is still being shared.
The power of a concept isn't in the need but in how well it optimizes the process.
