Java isn't exactly hard, and it's not particularly fundamental. It's just bureaucratic, and Python will be both more enjoyable and more useful. Java was trendy in the 1990s and lingers on because so much Java code is still around. If your goal is to use a serious type system (Lisp and Python don't have that), Haskell will be far more enlightening than Java. If you want to use the JVM for some reason, Clojure (a Lisp dialect that run in it) might interest you.

For low level fundamentals, you want assembly language! That gives you almost no assistance and you have to do EVERYTHING yourself, organizing the program in your own head. For old fashioned imperative programming with lots of organizational assistance, try Ada.

You will probably have to learn C at some point, but save it for later when it will be easier for you to spot the weaknesses.

I don't remember being that impressed with HTDP but it's been a while and I didn't look much. I'd say read SICP first in either case.

The Java thing sounds totally uninteresting and if your next language after Lisp isn't a a mainstream one, I'd say try Haskell.

Regarding math: it can help but it's not that important for pure programming. If you're good at languages and writing, that's helpful in the same way. If you're good at music, that is at least a helpful mindset.

Waiting for claims that the election was stolen and that Trump was the real winner.

I bless your computer, my child.

You can turn off Borg encryption but maybe what you really want is an object store (S3 style). Those exist too.

I'm using Borg and it's fine at that scale. I don't know if it would still be viable with 100TB or whatever. The initial backup will be kind of slow but it encrypts everything, and deduplicates it too if I'm not mistaken. In any case, it deduplicates the common situation where you back up another snapshot later. Only the differences get written in the second backup. So you can save new snapshots fairly quickly and without much additional space.

This is awesome. Next we can have AI Jesus endorsing Trump, AI Nicole Simpson telling us who the real killer was, and AI Abraham Lincoln saying that whole Civil War thing was a big misunderstanding and the Confederacy was actually just fine. The possibilities are endless. I can hardly wait!

Check all your wastebaskets before emptying them. Don't ask what makes me think of suggesting this. :(

Somewhere in the middle I guess. Same answer as for almost everyone, I imagine?

no end in sight

Can it actually go below zero? I'm new at this.

If Mozilla died would I quickly be finding a larger chunk of websites that aren’t supported?

Likely yes, as Google will keep enshittifying the web unless stopped by antitrust or whatever. Which isn't looking so likely.

A friend of mine used Wegovy to lose (edited) around 60 lb. You might talk to your Dr about it.

But now you're making way more wastewater than the water you're actually using. Could you use a carbon filter instead?

clubhouse.com? I don't know anything else about it really.

I believe I was thinking of Clubhouse but I haven't checked into it much.

No, Jitsi is a chat program. I must have been confusing Rumble with some other thing. But as with youtube, the video collection is much more important than the software. Releasing all the youtube software wouldn't change youtube's dominance even slightly.

Start a blog instead. I'd rather read it than listen to someone babbling.
