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.

So because of a fake blue-check invented scandal, the Biden Admin is taking away another tool from Border Patrol agents to protect our Southern Border?

@Johncdvorak and @adam has been talking about Mass Psychosis for a little while now. Here a a great video explaining how it leads to totalitarianism. Well worth a watch if you have 20 minutes to spare. This is what is going on now, on a few fronts, I believe both liberal and conservatives are falling prey to mass psychosis.
Key phrases I heard ... "Menticide", "Waves of Fear", and "Redeemer Personality" (which John, Adam, and NA Producers are an example of)

@niconiconi I've had to give up on coffee because it was making me way too anxious.

"Last month, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development granted permission to King County to not conduct the count over concerns around exposing volunteers and people being counted to coronavirus."
Translation. Fuck the homeless. Let them die uncounted because we don't wanna feel icky.

I've never, nor would I ever consider, punching a nurse.
Don't be an ass @namark.
Your reading comprehension is poor and you have no idea what I'm arguing for or why.
@Laconicif I don't think I've ever felt like "The Office" was wholesome.
@namark Do you?
@namark The Australian government started a fight and put the nurses at the front of it. It shouldn't be surprising that they got hurt.
Is that clear enough for you or still too complex?
@namark The part where never said violence against nurses was justified.
I explained why this was happening, not why it might be right.
@namark You've completely misunderstood what I've said.
@namark I'm not saying it's right, but this is what happens when you make vulnerable people the face of something violent.
More violence in #Australia
This is where we're headed if we continue with #authoritarian #mandates.

@namark This wouldn't be a problem if they weren't forcing people. It's wrong to hurt nurses but the Australian government put them in a dangerous position.
Why are #australians attacking #nurses ?
In an authoritarian world you remove the option for both peaceful disagreement and true consensus. The only option if you disagree is violence and the most effective violence would be toward members of the institutions forcing unwanted medical treatments on people.
