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.

The Left is denying that CRT exists in Virginia...lololololo 😂
I'm dying here. Loudon County had parents sign a non-compete to read it!

People around the world use sites that rely on proprietary JavaScript - often without realizing it. Nonfree JavaScript subjugates users in the same way as any piece of proprietary software. We should reject it. https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/freejs

Boots on the Ground report from the PNW. The nation’s largest railroad Union Pacific is approaching total grid lock due to man power shortages after imposing vaccine mandates.
Interchange railroads are boycotting the UP until they send crews to pickup empty equipment being stored.
Further exasperating the problem are crew haulers who shuttle crews from trains back to tie-up terminals. Crew haulers can’t find drivers.
This is the RR to save the at Port of LB. Better buy some Toilet paper.

ironically texas declares the trunk of your car to be 'part of your house' for the purposes of telling corpos they can't ban private gun ownership by just declaring everywhere a no-gun zone.

Common Wealth of Virginia dumps the divisiveness, the corrupt and the mandates of The Left ... with one "legit" election.
Imagine if 2020 was "legit"...

"What happens here. Will happen again in 2022" - Kamala's wise words when stumping for McCauliffe in Virginia last week.
Yup...Kamala the great reset was reset with Republican wins!
Let's go Brandon!

(1) It was a long day yesterday but I’m so grateful that I was able to be a part of one of the greatest election victories in the Commonwealth. The precinct I served in SoVa has approximately 1400 registered voters. We had 511 come through yesterday. Not bad actually from what others who served before said about this precinct. 2,800 people as of last week had early, in-person voted so it’s possible many from this precinct had already voted. Youngkin won our precinct 306R/204D/1LP.

If conservatives blab on and on about how great it is that a Republican candidate happens to be black, Hispanic, a woman, gay, or some other supposedly marginalized group... they sound like liberals.
Identity politics is stupid no matter who's participating in it. It demeans the individual's accomplishments and, ironically, his or her identity itself.

Don't put your guard down with our election integrity. They may be just throwing us a bone.

Youngkin has people...whereas McCauliffe had Obama, Biden and Kamala. Those are not people...they are criminals...and the people knew this!
Power to the people!
