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.

[Quote RT Candace Owens 
@realcandaceo] [RT @jackposobiec]
Biden and Milley claimed this was an ISIS attack in the making
They were filling water bottles
And their entire family was murdered so Joe Biden could get a headline

Members of Congress and Their Staff Are Exempt From Mandate
Nancy Pelosi said: "We cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't," Pelosi said.
"I can't go to the Capitol Physician and say, 'Give me the names of people who aren't vaccinated, so I can go encourage them or make it known to others to encourage them to be vaccinated.'

@DotardTed Even if the "vaccines" were totally safe I would still refuse to play this game. It's not about vaccines, it's not about health by any stretch of the imagination... I will not comply.

@DotardTed I will, literally, die on this hill. We just had our THIRD death in my apartment complex today (in fact I missed today's show AND Herr Biden's threat, because neighbors chose to share the news with me just as the show started). Granted, this was an older woman so it's totally being written off as a "natural" granny death, but it's just super suspicious to me, especially since 2 other people have died in the past 2 months and at least 2 more were hospitalized with mystery illnesses.

Red State Governors Push Back on Biden's Vaccine Mandate
"This will never stand up in court. This dictatorial approach is wrong, un-American and will do far more harm than good."
At the time of writing it’s unknown what reaction Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida has to Biden’s remarks. Over the summer the White House squared off in open opposition to the state’s COVID restrictions.

JD Vance calls for mass civil disobedience in response to Biden's mandates.
"Do not comply with the mandates. Do not pay the government fines. Don’t allow yourself to be bullied & controlled. Only mass civil disobedience will save us from Joe Biden’s naked authoritarianism."
End to End encryption is meaningless if someone else is controlling the ends.
Closed source centralized software and crypto don't mix.

There are times for violence. This might be one.
These #vaccine mandates will mean widespread fraud because of how difficult it is to authenticate.
Now we won't know who has actually taken it and who is lying because they don't want to starve.
