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.

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.

If foreigners are prohibited from being elected to the presidency, why the hell do we allow them in Congress?

agile, wherein every two weeks you release a half-broken product but the half that is broken continuously changes, is a good fit for SAAS, wherein users can't stick with a previous version even if they wanted to, but i don't think the arrangement benefits users or developers, neither of whom like broken software

The left says that the reason 90 percent of "hate speech" detected by Facebook's algorithm is anti-White is because their algorithm is rayciss. The right says it's because of all the anti-White hatred the regime is drumming up.
I present a third possibility: getting an algorithm to identify pic related as hate speech is impossible even for a competent programmer, let alone the pajeets Zuckerberg has on his payroll.

Gates Foundation Sent Over $54 Million To China Since COVID, Including To Wuhan Collaborators.
by Natalie Winters
November 23, 2021
Since December 2019, the Foundation has sent a total of 93 grants adding up to $54,573,428 to China-based projects.
China’s CDC has played a key role spearheading the narrative that COVID-19 developed naturally as opposed to tracing its origins to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/exc-gates-foundation-sent-over-54-million-to-china-since-covid-including-to-wuhan-collaborators/

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.
