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.

@freemo @GodfreyHendrix I don't know a single person who's died from COVID (I know many who've gotten it) but I do know multiple people who have died from the preventative measures.
@academicalnerd The core idea of university makes sense but it's been twisted into occupational training+propaganda at least in the US.

@freemo
Your narrative that the virus produces variants wich can't be handled by natural immunity is wrong.

@freemo @GodfreyHendrix It's really not.
@freemo @GodfreyHendrix You're missing the point that it's really not worth it for most people since covid isn't *nearly* as deadly.
@freemo @GodfreyHendrix It looks like smallpox was incredibly deadly (at least 100 times that of Covid ) and not as infectious.
1) The percent of immune people doesn't need to be as high
2) People need little convincing to take the vaccine.
@freemo @GodfreyHendrix
>So either way you look at it, the solution would come from vaccinating quickly and with near 100% coverage.
That's just not going to happen. There are too many people that have no formal connections to anything (homeless/transients/illegals) so if that's what's necessary for vaccines to be viable then they're hopeless.

@DotardTed @curtishouck @billfoxla Camping is illegal in Texas and we're all out of houses so I guess they're supposed to go strait to jail?
@Salaru meh. The whole petroleum thing seems like a misunderstanding of organic chemistry.

“The Taliban gets Blackhawks and the unvaccinated get fired.”
And he is right! While Biden and company are importing thousands of Afghans, the vaccine brigade is shaming and lecturing the unvaccinated.
