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.

@hackernews@die-partei.social NVM one of my friends confirmed you can't buy NOK on robinhood.
Heh. I'm glad I never opened an account with them.
@hackernews@die-partei.social I bought NOK this morning with zero problems, from what I've heard they're just raising the margin requirements which is absolutely a reasonable thing to do.
@kushchan Everyone knows NYT has always been a crap news paper.
These are the same people that mocked RG for wanting to send people to mars saying "rockets don't work in space."
@0 IMO: It's not actually crashing until the market closes on Friday and the squeeze (the actual cause of all this) ends.
That's why I'm still buying puts for next week.
@tychi This is why I do direct deposit for tax returns. They send the stimulus straight into your bank account, no sketchy stuff involved.

New @postmarketOS installer feature. You can now choose if you want to install to the SD you're booted from or install to the #pinephone internal storage :)
@valleyforge You can almost always just adjust it by poking sysfs.
There's no centralized brightness manager because no one agrees on a "system layer" to centralize this outside the kernel (for better or worse.)

I got #SRB2Kart by @KartKrewDev running on the @thepine64 #PinePhone running @ManjaroLinux :) The game is surprisingly demanding to run (even on the Pinebook Pro), but with some tweaks max FPS can be maintained. If you haven't head of the game: mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t…
I don't know why everyone's blaming the Nokia spike on #WSB.
The only place I saw people talking about it was hakernews which was why I had calls. Plus the spike was super short duration unlike most of the WSB stuff. If anything WSB only contributed to it because they like watching trading volume to get in on insider trades.

Technology must be designed in an ethical way that respects people's digital rights.
Privacy cannot be an afterthought with room for interpretation by businesses that thrive on exploiting us online.

@arh@toots.alirezahayati.com I honestly encrypt less than I should but my phone has FDE. Which makes me feel like I should have voted for the last one.
@freemo I thought people bought RGB keyboards to get laid but my girlfriend insists she has never cared about mine and thought I was weird for owning one. Every day I regret getting the cheaper RGB keyboard instead of the more expensive clicky one.

@icedquinn TTF is even crazier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType#Hinting_language
That was on purpose though in order to get around a patent issue.
For the first time today I made money trading financial derivatives sober.
I'm going to use the profits to buy the melanial equivalent of a yacht: that yellow inflatable kayak on Amazon.

One mask is 70% efficient, three masks is 90% efficient, cover your whole face in plastic wrap (no holes then it wont work!) and its 100% efficient!
