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.

@jbauer That's how I felt! Even the Lab I worked in before I came here had them upside down!
It's a good building. Free hot chocolate on the roof, smack in the middle of a mall. cheap rent. I feel like I'm living in one of those weird vapor wave youtube videos.
@Jaymo They're already here?
Poke around a bit, people on the internet know what they're doing.
TFW you open your profile on hackernews in private mode and see your most recent comment gray and flagged.
@MrSkweeze Hodl?!?
God dammit it's time to buy!
If I knew what the password to my wallet from 2011 was I'd be sitting on a decent boat smoking a sager right now.
@jbauer Well convert is hanging but take my word for it :p
@jbauer Earth plug on top is right way.
If my phone behaves I'll send an image.
@icedquinn can't seem to clone it.
`~ $ git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/wordtsar/git wordtsar-git
Cloning into 'wordtsar-git'...

@jbauer I just want git and a C compiler, the iPhone has that but it's so *fucking* slow.
@jbauer My apartment might be one of the first places I've seen NA outlets installed the right way around.
The building across the street has them installed upside down (I know because I took a tour trying to save on rent.)
@lupyuen Wait I thought they couldn't buy ARM because of antitrust problems.
I wouldn't buy a CPU from Nvidia regardless (sans the switch of course but there's already homebrew and a kernel for that so it's ok.)

Everything I write until 9:00AM tomorrow should be completely ignored.
@valleyforge I grew up in a house like this.
It's fucking hot in the south.

Now that cars have become rolling smartphones, it's been pretty disappointing to see them copy some of the worst practices from the smartphone world. I wrote an article that talks about some of those problems. [CW: Tesla negativity] https://puri.sm/posts/locked-in-a-remote-control-car/

Defendants have the right to examine the source code of DNA forensic software—especially one where an inspection 6 years ago revealed errors that created false positive matches in dozens of cases in one Australian state alone. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/05/eff-tells-california-court-forensic-software-source-code-must-be-disclosed
@brad Oh really? I've been using both lately but haven't really picked one (except gajim crashes on my phone so I exclusively use dino there.) What do you like about it?
@jbauer I've never heard of that. I've only ever used it on routers heh.
@brad I've definitely had better luck with dino than gajim. Gajim looks more lightweight and mature but IME it's not.
@jbauer Doesn't OpenBSD still use OSS? So you can just cat /dev/audio and get an 8khz PCM stream etc?
