On first glance, this is good advice and in general I'd give the same for this age group. With age, you'll see more of these scenarios come up and if you have experience and foresight, you can provide direction that may prove fruitful to young people. My son and his friend asked "what should we look into and learn?", about 15 years ago, I told them Python and Java; Python because of versatility and cryptocoins; Java for the long term stability in the job market. I despise Python personally, but I could see its potential and still do; especially for AI. At the end of the day, kids have more time than money and its great experience for them to get their hands dirty and find out what they might be interested in; its a long life.

Don't get me wrong, this is awesome, but it could be better by adding Greek and Arabic, and possibly Sumerian documents?

Thank you. I have considered Arabic, as there a couple works I am interested in.

My queue of Hebrew and Latin works is already lengthy, and this is my focus for now.

I'm glad you posted this before I took the time to review the link; saved me time. I'm certainly interested in a feature like this that's all local in my file system as I'm sure others are as well.

Mostly agree, but many times there is no python nor ruby on a system, whereas there may always be shell available for scripts like these.

Also in broad daylight

Takes me back to the old days, using telnet to play The Marches on the UCSD computers from my apartment dial-up. Any of the other peerage around here?

It'd be interested to see how one could leverage all the DDR3 ECC that they may have laying about; maybe an overseas shopping site has these boards available? Would DDR3 be as fast or faster than an SSD?

top of the line SSDs now eclipse DDR3 throughput, but DDR3 should retain a large edge in latency of orders of magnitude

absolutely no idea how useful any of that would be and what kind of latency degradation going through whatever adapter would cause

Agreed! Even better, this is a knot I need.
