I’m not entirely sure about this meme in terms of the overt sexism. Looked it up a little and there’s some talk about it, but hopefully it’s not past the line of problematic. I have a hard time telling.

Not exactly programmatic, but I saw another streamer hook up their chat to super collider so folks could do a collaborative jam session. It was chaos, but a lot of fun.

(and for anyone not familiar with supercollider: https://supercollider.github.io/ - it’s open source software that’s “A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound.”)

Might have been me how mentioned working on their own filetype, because, well, I am. It’s not a music thing. It’s a replacement for markdown/mdx. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m using it. I also don’t really expect other folks to use it, but I’m putting it out there anyway.

I’m cleaning up the docs. I’ll post them when I get them polished a little

I keeeeep wanting to get into making music, but it never makes it up the priority list high enough. I used to be a sax player, but I never did music theory or chords. I know it wouldn’t be super hard to get into that based off my experience, but I don’t have the energy to put into the learning curve right now.

The idea of the public data set is awesome. I’d also love to see bands. release stubs of their music for remixing (I’ll like to something like that when I find it)

I originally worked on the website at the TOUR. I was the tech lead who coordinated work with our external teams. I also did a bunch of prototype stuff which is what I really enjoyed. Last few years there I was on the team who built a data analytics dept. That was fun during the build, but once it was up and running I wasn’t doing new stuff anymore and it turns out I need that in my life.

I feel ya on the 2hrs sleep then 18 of making stuff as well as the crash afterwords. I didn’t get diagnosed until a few years back. I’d never had a full out manic episode until then. I went pretty far out though. Ran around my house naked for a week recording a podcast about how it was on me to become president and the modern day Shakespeare to save the world. Ended up in the psych ward for a few days, got the diagnosis and got on meds. I had a two year major depression after that and then a while recovering. Happy to report I’ve been stable since then.

And, I’m digging you too 🕺 . Always love meeting folks who do things like start communities. That’s very cool

I’ve never looked at the torrent protocol. (That’s going a bit deeper than I’ve ever done before.) If it doesn’t support compression that could be done on the client side right? Or is there something else that goes on there?
