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.

This is probably one of the best quote from @martijnbraam.

Official spin: this wasn't terrorism, he was fleeing pursuit... through a parade of children.

So now that it seems increasingly likely that they've inspired a terroristic hate crime that left dozens injured and several dead, the liars in the media are spinning it as an accident, or a '"mass casualty incident".
As much as idiot communists in the press and the government like to fantasize about racially-motivated domestic terrorism, they sure are silent when it actually happens.
Journalism is dead. Sadly, fake journalists are very much alive.

if it turns out that the black guy hit 30 women killing 5, all white, with his car because of what corporate media said...
...does that mean he was radicalized by them?
if so, does this mean those guys who incited him into a murder spree can be subpeonad via RICO?

Reporter on CNN reporting that this was not a targeted attack. It was just a horrible accident. Driver likely accidentally accelerated. Thru a crowd? For 50+ yards? Then having the presence of mind to BACK the vehicle into a driveway? Yeah... not buying this schiz.
Yeah.
Everything is just going to keep getting worse.
