Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
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.

@fluffy A lot more than that's worth lol.
@0 You can pretty much do whatever you want here as long as you pay taxes and give the full time employees health insurance.
@icedquinn Didn't he like Pascal though?

30 Years ago...
On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted his famous
message to the
comp.os.minix USENET group:
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been
brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.
@programwitch s/text/yaml/
@mur2501 Why though? If you just want the BGI API there are re implementations on modern platforms.
@icedquinn If you feel this strongly just pull your kid out and send them to a homeschool co-op.

Law enforcement put an entire region under aerial surveillance after believing unvetted reports that an "Antifa bus" was headed to town. A pattern is emerging of social media-based disinformation serving as "intelligence" to justify real surveillance.

@icedquinn I'd subscribe, and then probably unsubscribe later after getting addicted.

#2506 Projecting
This is something we all need to work on, but especially you all.
@freemo Just to be clear. I haven't been sober this whole evening and the bartenders were shaking their heads at me a minute ago.
@freemo I feel physically ill reading this.
I'm not sure what it means but I'm sure it's not good.

"China now wants to tell influencers how to speak and dress when live-streaming"

On a scale of 1-10 how much trouble are you in being up past 00:00 EDT with your GF?
Mine would be moderately pissed but she's probably negotiating with the Canadian government with their soy consumption and whatnot.
@VoteChess TBH not sure how C4 is a valid pay as a fellow chess engine author lost in the world etc.
@VoteChess And a goo day to you sir, it's been a while.
I would rather be homeless than comply with that. I didn't even give HR a non-tagged personal email address and put up with weeks of "database collided with garbage" crap.
>Apple merging work and personal and work accounts
#nope
That would be a "you can keep me or force me to do this" line.
@kireicake @freemo That's literally the entire point of Christianity.
