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.

"More than 17 million #healthcare workers at facilities participating in #Medicare and #Medicaid [will be required] to have received their final #vaccine dose by January 4."
"Facilities, some of which have begun to fire workers not complying with #mandates, are growing increasingly concerned the requirements will trigger #staffing shortages."

covid, vaccines
The definition of 'fully vaccinated' is changing to three Covid-19 doses
"If we look at low-income countries as a whole, less than 1% of the total vaccine supply has been delivered to those poorest countries, many of which are in Africa."

There's no such a thing as a mass medical act. Medicine for humans is about personalization of the medical act while only zootechnical act involves masses of bovines, sheep, and horses where they receive same thing in the same amount
