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.

stop enabling child rapists, stop being an advocate of science denial, stop supporting "trans rights" the are NOT human rights. they are a free pass for rapey incels to abuse your kids. take the D bigot.
@MrMaxPowers247
No we're not. I'm sorry but I don't want to share a country with your neighbors. I don't know what it is but something is hopelessly wrong with your state and it's fucking the rest of us over.
@amerika
@MrMaxPowers247 You know why that won't work as long as we have central banks.
Again, it comes back to separation.

JUST IN - Inversion: U.S. Treasury 30-year bond yield falls below 20-year for the first time (Bloomberg)
@MrMaxPowers247
God fucking dammit.
The state and local governments haven't been telling me I need to get vaccinated or be homeless.
The state and local governments haven't been shipping invaders here.
Sure maybe your state is fucked up but the rest of the country isn't like that. This isn't some fascist conspiracy this is shit we're having to deal with that they're advertising.
@amerika
@MrMaxPowers247
I don't have an issue with what my local government is doing though (otherwise I would.) In fact I'm very happy with what my local government has been doing (except the school stuff but I don't have a kid so I'm not getting involved in that.)
My problems are entirely with the Federal government.
@amerika
@MrMaxPowers247
Ok that's nice, but the end result is that they're electing people who attack us. This can't continue and the division is very real.
The end is violence or separation, there are no other real options at this point.
@amerika
@MrMaxPowers247
It's time to leave the union. The Federal Government is intentionally trying to kick us out of our country and the only way to stay is to ignore them and reject what they are doing.
There is no ideology that binds us together. Half the country has rejected that.
If we don't want violence we have to leave the union.

diversity and inclusion requires adding lots of token black positions for diversity and child rapists for the inclusion. bonus points for a black child rapist as it is both diverse and inclusive.

1 in 3 white college students are lying about their race on their applications.
3 in 4 who do this are getting admitted.
Two questions - why the hell are we allowing colleges to even ask this question of applicants? And two, if America's so "racist", why do white people have to pretend to be minorities in order to get into college and hold onto their jobs?
Leftists are destroying this country with this racialist stupidity.
@MrMaxPowers247
No, It's time to leave. We're past the point where we can find a middle ground.

home schooling information meeting held in CA is packed. The education racket has jumped the shark, it seems.
