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.

the two things that shook me enough to make me think the antisemites might have a point were the obsessive attempts to exonerate jewish murderer and rapist Leo Frank (to the point of being willing to scapegoat an innocent negro, even in current year), and that chart showing income disparities starting to go completely out of control as soon as jews took over the US economy
i think at the very least it's no longer tenable to deny the existence of an extremely powerful, parasitic, and amoral jewish elite that is hell-bent on advancing its personal and ethnic interests at the expense of everybody else alive. if that says anything about the broader jewish population, i don't know, but i'm inclined to worry.

-Terry McAuliffe calls in the Lincoln Project to develop emergency messaging to reach parents.
I'm. Not. Kidding. 🙄

Get ready. 🍿🍿🍿
@worldsendless I'm not sure it's quite as bad as Facebook but the moderation can be pretty bad on larger subreddits.On smaller ones I've felt like topic oriented forums usually have better discussions. (I don't know why this is, maybe it's the voting or maybe it's the group of people that Reddit attracts.)
The main reason I have it blocked though is because I spent too much time on it the first year I was in college and that made it hard to get anything done.

@yes Do you have any evidence of that? The acronym expands to something nice.

I think the word you're looking for is "hanged."
As in "hanged by the neck until dead."

@Phil Impressive, he should have transferred though. I went to Liberty and I don't think they're requiring testing for unvaccinated students.

"“Nobody is considering that [these medical problems] could be vaccine-related,” says an ICU nurse in a county hospital. “It’s not even in question. You might as well say you want to start treating people with crystals and burning sage. If you say it’s the vaccine, they look at you and say, ‘It’s the safest thing ever produced. Why would you say that?’”

"even the certification authorities for the medical space are threatening doctors that question vaccines with the loss of their licenses. the board has become a truth ministry and they will not even define what the crime of wrongthink really means. this is the classic recipe for censorship: harsh penalty for undefined transgression.
this is not evidence based medicine. it’s politics based omerta.
i have never seen anything like it in my career."

@wolf480pl I see mine every night. The polycarbonate window on my PC case faces my bed.
