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.

As of yesterday the Biden Administration is metering how many doses of Regeneron are sent to Texas [..] So less than a week after the president tells us his patience is wearing thin and he is mandating vaccines to millions of Americans his administration limits and all but removes a non-controversial and highly successful treatment from our war chest of combating this virus.
there are no words for the degree of hate i have for these people
@academicalnerd Most of modern University is nonsense. There's maybe a year of useful material and you might know a decent portion of it already if you're an autodidact.
It's part of the whole "socializing thing" though so you won't get anywhere with out it.

when you're accidentally so divisive you end up uniting the extremists by accident and they realize you were the fascist all along 
@DotardTed It's a shame they couldn't find Pelosi on January 6.
