Submission + - Ask Slashdot: How to introduce 7-year-old son to programming
THE_WELL_HUNG_OYSTER writes: I'm a professional programmer and have been programming since I was a small boy. I want to introduce this to my 7-year-son but know nothing about teaching this to children. Since he enjoys Roblox and Minecraft very much, and knows how to use computers already, I suspect teaching him to write his own small games would be a good starting point. I'm aware of lists like this one, but it's quite overwhelming. There are so many choices that I am overwhelmed where to start. Anyone in the Slashdot in the community have recent hands-on experience with such tools/systems that he/she would recommend?

Why do there have to be "sides"? Why can't we just let the market do its thing? When the economic balance tilts toward renewables we will switch to them no matter how much carbon is easily available. Eliminate all the special government rewards/penalties associated with any and all energy producton and the law of supply and demand will elegantly elevate the current best solution at any given time.
