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.

"Apple employees raising concerns that misleading data was used to support new health products were dismissed or met with hostility"

@DotardTed meh. I think it's probably a good thing for Brittan. People need to be paid a living wage and a lot of places were running out of space for people.

I just minutes ago found out that yet a THIRD neighbor has died from a heart attack after being jabbed. She is one of SEVEN post-jab deaths in my neighborhood AND NOBODY BUT ME IS CONNECTING THE DOTS. (The other four were one cancer, one liver failure, the other two unknown since I never met them or their families and only became aware of their deaths when I saw their families cleaning out their apartments). How is it that nobody is putting this together?!

“Right of publicity” lawsuits can now get around key legal protections for websites and apps. That won’t be good for free expression. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/10/bring-publicity-trolls-federal-appeal-court-ruling-drastically-undermines-online

Not that the powerful institutions who control society care about ethics anymore at this point, but just a reminder that internet censorship of individual speech violates basic human rights. https://twitter.com/lbrycom/status/1445377789683720194
