In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone's time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU's, after all.

So it's similar to asking whether there's a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.

I've heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?

Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.

Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.

There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I'd want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.

It refers to a male cousin that is NOT in the same paternal line, so maybe not too uncommon?

https://www.hedy.org/start

For someone learning programming from zero, it was specifically invented to be:

Hedy is the easy way to get started with textual programming languages! Hedy is free to use, open source, and unlike any other textual programming language in three ways.

  1. Hedy is multi-lingual, you can use Hedy in your own language
  2. Hedy is gradual, so you can learn one concept and its syntax a time
  3. Hedy is built for the classroom, allowing teachers to fully customize their student's experience

Adding to the points above:

At the end of the gradual progression, Hedy becomes vanilla Python.

An aspect of the 3rd point is having an online editor & execution environment, so you don't need to deal with setup.

After completing the Hedy lessons, can follow up with other learning resources like freecodecamp.org or codeacademy.com.

That example doesn't sound particularly difficult. I'm not saying it'd be trivial, but it should be approximately as difficult as writing a compiler. Seems like the real problem is not a technical one.

Wonder what makes it so difficult. "Cobol to Java" doesn't sound like an impossible task since transpilers exist. Maybe they can't get similar performance characteristics in the auto-transpiled code?
