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.

Using, re-using, and re-implementing software interfaces is the industry standard. EFF will keep fighting to make sure it stays that way. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/victory-fair-use-supreme-court-reverses-federal-circuit-oracle-v-google
@craftyguy guix home looks neat, that's definitely what I'm doing after people are done testing it.
@brad Hearing about this might be enough to get me to dump firefox.
@icedquinn I still prefer editing in vim but emacs has some killer PIM features.
@rune Calculate percentages from what?If you already have a ratio just divide 100 by the denominator and multiply both the top and bottom by the result.

@icedquinn There's no way I'm at the top though, I still can't afford the boat I want.

Looking better than initially. I might buy one when the software is more matured

webshit weekly strikes again: "It turns out that basically none of the original reasons Hackernews started using Signal apply any more, but since they convinced their idiot friends to start using it, they're all stuck with it anyway."

34% of WFH workers say they’d rather quit than return to full-time office work
And if they do need to come back to the office, even part-time, employees said they expect some changes. For example, they’d want their employer to cover their commuting costs, and also provide some form of childcare.
@rune I delete them from the DOM, I'm not agreeing to something just because of a bad UI.
@brad Mixing vinegar with ammonia sounds odd to me. You'd probably just get ammonium acetate (?) which probably has a pretty neutral PH.
@fluffy I guess I just don't expect them to do the right thing at this point.
@deutrino They probably also don't recrystalise everything before they eat it, since it's not going through a needle.

what's up with some instances not showing their posts when you click the external link button? Is that on purpose? I've also seen some instances that hide that button so you can only see posts from their instance if that's where you're browsing from.
@allison There's one near me, it's not great.
