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.

In all fairness, this pandemic is as much one of a savage virus as it is one of illiterate people.

🚨🚨🚨 This is HUGE! WORLD GOVERNMENTS DESTROYING CROPS AND OIL! 🚨🚨🚨
The Biden regime is paying farmers to destroy their crops as well as randomly dump oil supplies! Something similar is expected in the UK as well. They are actively creating a food and energy shortage.
Forgive me if you've already covered this and I somehow missed it. If not, people need to know what's coming.
