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.

BLM Leaders have graced my screen twice in less than 24hrs. Last night on Newsmax and this morning on Fox. Both BLM leaders would not denounce violence...and neither host asked where all this BLM money went or why so many in BLM leadership roles are convicted felons for violent offenses.
Why give them screen time to spread their hate with no one holding their feet to the fire for answers?
Journalism is dead. Propaganda is alive and well.
