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.

@billfoxla - Law enforcement sources say there are up to 10,000 more migrants en route to cross illegally into Del Rio.
They have been walking across a dam in the Rio Grande all morning long, and they then walk to the international bridge where they are congregating underneath.
@foxnews
@freemo Actually it might not be.
@freemo And it's also a preprint.
@freemo Oh well. We're here now.
@freemo I never said any of this to anyone before the mandates. So it wasn't me.
@freemo I feel like being quiet is how we got here so I'm not going to do that until they leave us alone.
@freemo I'm not convinced what I'm saying is wrong.
The behavior will continue to get worse until the Federal Government fucks off.
@freemo
>You've been talking about COVID conspiracy nonsense for weeks now.
That began immediately after the mandate. Like you say: I have no formal training in any of this so I wasn't comfortable talking about it and wasn't going to as long as I was left alone. Now I'm being harassed so I'm going to talk about it until the harassment ends.
@freemo I would have kept it to myself if they didn't push. The only politics I ever spoke publicly about were software related.
I was listening to the authorities in the beginning and being extremely careful, I was one of the most careful people I know. I didn't leave the house for months during March/April and took my temperature every day. I washed my hands and wore masks and practiced social distancing.
At some point it became clear that people were lying and this was a massive power grab.

White House: 'We Must Continue Admitting Unvaccinated Immigrants To Replace All The Workers Who Got Fired For Being Unvaccinated'
@freemo No. I'm absolutely not cooperating. They can figure something else out now.
@freemo Ok.
Regardless, I'm not taking it after that mandate.
@freemo There have been thousands of deaths reported to VARES, a service run by the CDC. Where is your data coming from?
@freemo
>almost no one has died from the vaccine
This is clearly wrong. There are enough deaths from the heart problems alone that they're investigating it.
@freemo Either way, the vaccine is not as effective as Ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies. It's orders of magnitude more deadly than every vaccine we've had, and for younger boys it's more deadly than covid itself.
It's not a good treatment.
@freemo I thought Fauci said 50%.
@freemo Israel has nearly 100% vaccination and has no herd immunity.
The virus is not as deadly as people say it is and there are alternative treatments that work better as Japan, Mexico, and India have found.
Pushing the vaccine instead of Ivermectin and antibodies is killing people.
@freemo There's arguably no need regardless.
