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.

Donald Trump Jr.
🤔 Just randomly thinking about the fact that Hunter Biden and his associates were paid $11+ million by the Chinese communists and Hunter is the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation yet the corporate media has largely ignored both since that news broke last year.

A good read:
MIT Abandons Its Mission. And Me.
I have consistently maintained that woke ideology is essentially totalitarian in nature: it attempts to corral the entirety of human existence into one narrow ideological viewpoint and to silence anyone who disagrees.
I believe that these features ultimately derive from the ideology’s abandonment of the principle of the inherent dignity of each human being.

I just minutes ago found out that yet a THIRD neighbor has died from a heart attack after being jabbed. She is one of SEVEN post-jab deaths in my neighborhood AND NOBODY BUT ME IS CONNECTING THE DOTS. (The other four were one cancer, one liver failure, the other two unknown since I never met them or their families and only became aware of their deaths when I saw their families cleaning out their apartments). How is it that nobody is putting this together?!

“Right of publicity” lawsuits can now get around key legal protections for websites and apps. That won’t be good for free expression. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/10/bring-publicity-trolls-federal-appeal-court-ruling-drastically-undermines-online
