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.

@velartrill I think using Reddit when I was a teenager actually permanently messed me up in a number of ways.

i've become pretty convinced that it's incredibly dangerous for adolescents to have online social circles at all
social media fucks us all up but when you're still in the impressionable "uncritically absorbing your culture's values and folkways" neurological stage you should not be routinely associating with people outside your immediate physical community, period
and people who take advantage of the vulnerability of children to reprogram them as footsoldiers for a political cause should face the death penalty, they're the moral equivalent of pedophiles

@icedquinn I think they went too far with that last year and most people gave up.

@shebang @wolf480pl i find it deeply concerning how much everyone has just gone along with "the experts" handwaving established consensus wrt. how testing should be done and why long term trials are important and basically just "well TV said it's good so lets force everyone in to it."
the justification for why its OK that gets cited is literally regarding a guy who paid a perfunctory fine for refusing one with a 100 year service record.
this one doesn't even have a fucking control group.

Where I work it's expected that the first year is going to be completely unproductive.
That's probably why they've asked us like 3 times if we're going to get vaccinated but haven't told us we have to yet.

weird fedi take
if people won't even stand up for having things forcibly injected in their bodies, what makes you think they're going to stand up for the trivial shit like 'less working hours'

So was chatting with someone regarding #VAERS_India tag.
Was told vaccines cause magnetism in humans and media is suppressing...
Agree that govt isn't transparent on data but idiotic objections aren't helping either.
You can't combat lack of transparency with superstition.

“ When unvaccinated workers are asked what they would do if their employer required them to either get the COVID-19 vaccine or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, 11% say they would be most likely to get the vaccine, nearly half (46%) would opt for weekly testing, and over a third (37%) say they would be likely to leave their job. This represents 1% of all adults who would get the vaccine if faced with an employer mandate and 5% who say they would leave their job.”
