If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

@bonifartius I will try to be a little bit more careful. I agree some of the stuff I boosted is pretty rough.
I'm just really angry right now.

At the request of the Russian government, Apple and Google have both pulled an app from their app stores that guides opposition voters and highlights anti-corruption campaigns—on the morning of election day. https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22679425/apple-google-remove-navalny-smart-voting-app-russian-election

This is why human rights advocates are rightly concerned that Apple's promise to stand up to government demands is not always realistic, whether it's taking down apps or expanding the scanning and censorship system the company announced last month. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/apples-plan-think-different-about-encryption-opens-backdoor-your-private-life

> Plans to vaccinate millions of schoolchildren are expected to be given the go-ahead for as soon as next week despite government advisers yesterday refusing to back a mass rollout.

@billfoxla - Law enforcement sources say there are up to 10,000 more migrants en route to cross illegally into Del Rio.
They have been walking across a dam in the Rio Grande all morning long, and they then walk to the international bridge where they are congregating underneath.
@foxnews
@freemo Actually it might not be.
@freemo And it's also a preprint.
@freemo Oh well. We're here now.
