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.

Scientists mystified, wary, as Africa avoids COVID disaster
Fewer than 6% of people in Africa are vaccinated. For months, the WHO has described Africa as “one of the least affected regions in the world” in its weekly pandemic reports.
Some researchers say the continent’s younger population, in addition to the lower rates of urbanization and tendency to spend time outdoors, may have spared it the more lethal effects of the virus so far.

...economy and life rebounded
Biden:
- increased immigration
- expanded government
- resumed world police
...everything is going badly.

BLM is a terrorist organization, but don't tell The FBI that...they are too busy chasing down parents who don't want their little girls raped in the bathrooms at school by the sickos that they let into the bathrooms to rape them!

Continuing to push the vaccine with all the data out there now doesn't make any scientific or medical sense. I struggle to think of why they continue to push it that isn't nefarious.
Here we go
