Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
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.

@lupyuen Coinbase's insistence on using SMS really pisses me off.

That's all I've got.
Python is the *worst* language to teach people with. Students get completely lost in all the string helper functions.
You should have to write these at least once.
@Bleukitty Kyle was Hispanic not white.
@NurseRatched It sounds like Kyle might join him.

Remember a time when second-sourcing proprietary chip designs were the norm, all chips must have at least two or three manufacturers or nobody even trusts you? Definitely impractical for decades but interesting to think about it in the middle of this chip shortage... #electronics
