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.

Thread 1 of 9
In the 1770s a bunch of men living in the colonies belonging to England came together and agreed that they were living under tyranny and that it was not acceptable. Bitter arguments ensued as to what to do about it.
They waged protests, wrote letters, arranged boycotts, and tried several other ineffective measures before it became obvious to most, but not all, that it was necessary to declare independence.

I feel like the attack on Sunday was a crossing of the Rubicon.
It's one thing for the communists to burn down their own neighborhoods, loot their own communities and turn left-wing cities even more into uninhabitable hellholes.
But committing acts of terror against good, wholesome, innocent people in small town America is a step too far. The people in that community didn't vote for this insanity; they don't deserve to live in fear.

The California Highway Patrol flew helicopters over protests for Black lives, and used high-powered cameras to zoom in on protesters’ faces, according to a new report from @ACLU_NorCal.

I used to be able to play the guitar so well, I should get off the internet and go back to practicing.
Or packing really since I'm supposed to move by Friday.

Martin Luther initially mistook the Jewish religion for something similar to Catholicism (a distortion of Christianity) but soon realized that it was something far worse and wrote an entire book on it.
