Any programming book recommendations?

List of specific interests:

  • Something that applies to many languages/generalist stuff. Logic, memory, etc.
  • C++ things since thats my job language.
  • Linux kernel related stuff (especially graphics!)
  • Basics of graphics programming (theory and practice, Vulkan or OpenGL, something i can tinker on on Linux)

Any computer science books that can help me become a better programmer, really!

Just discovered long-pressing a pinned tag in Fedilab opens a menu where you can filter and check a “Media only” option. This changes the timeline to a stack of media embedded in toots, with only basic meta information overlayed.

The 3.0-RC release of The Gimp is now 98% close to what I need from it. Its selections work better, and it has something akin to adjustment layers. I just still need the Selective Color adjustment layer feature that has, and to recognize adjustment layers when loading PSD files. If they could add those two, it'd be 100% for me. But even now, it's good enough for what I use it for (editing my scanned paintings).

The cat is our Minime.
