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.

Any of you who thought two shots... or even three shots would be enough to resume *cough 'normal life'...

From Praying Medic Telegram:
"The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation..."
Set aside your emotions for a minute and think about it logically. What would be the public response if such a move were actually made?
Never interfere with an enemy...

"Despite Facebook’s recent virtue-signaling on privacy, the company does not make it clear to people that when they deactivate their accounts, its vampiric data connections continue to suck new information from advertisers" - @KateKayeReports for @Digiday https://digiday.com/media/why-facebook-keeps-collecting-peoples-data-and-building-their-profiles-even-when-their-accounts-are-deactivated/
And they're threatening the people who live here with homelessness for not taking an experimental and likely dangerous drug.

Who sows crimes against humanity and compliance will only reap death.

Mass psychosis has been pretty common in the US going back to colonial times.
Small pox had a mortality rate hundreds of times higher than covid.
The small pox vaccine was far more effective.
The federal government was not mandating the vaccine.
What do you suggest I do? It's this or violence.
@freemo
We've had brain dead conspiracy theories since forever and people weren't being forced to take drugs over them.
Either the mandates go and the traitors to are country are hurled from DC or the shitposting continues and we get violence.
@freemo I was being quiet before and we got mandates. The next step is violence.
