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.

Gates Foundation Sent Over $54 Million To China Since COVID, Including To Wuhan Collaborators.
by Natalie Winters
November 23, 2021
Since December 2019, the Foundation has sent a total of 93 grants adding up to $54,573,428 to China-based projects.
China’s CDC has played a key role spearheading the narrative that COVID-19 developed naturally as opposed to tracing its origins to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/exc-gates-foundation-sent-over-54-million-to-china-since-covid-including-to-wuhan-collaborators/

Thread 1 of 9
In the 1770s a bunch of men living in the colonies belonging to England came together and agreed that they were living under tyranny and that it was not acceptable. Bitter arguments ensued as to what to do about it.
They waged protests, wrote letters, arranged boycotts, and tried several other ineffective measures before it became obvious to most, but not all, that it was necessary to declare independence.

Step 1: It's not really happening
Step 2: Yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal
Step 3: It's a good thing, actually
Step 4: People freaking out about it are the real problem

I feel like the attack on Sunday was a crossing of the Rubicon.
It's one thing for the communists to burn down their own neighborhoods, loot their own communities and turn left-wing cities even more into uninhabitable hellholes.
But committing acts of terror against good, wholesome, innocent people in small town America is a step too far. The people in that community didn't vote for this insanity; they don't deserve to live in fear.
