• Show HN: Placesloth.com – generate placeholder images of sloth

  Hey all, Last week I had to make a couple of test pages and turned to one of my favorite sites to fill it with some imagery: https://placebear.com/ There's a pretty large amount of sites like this, but none seemed to be serving the superior animal: sloths. So I hacked this together quickly over the weekend. It's definitely ugly code and an ugly approach, nothing prevents this from going OOM, it'll probably fall... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What are some beginner C# projects for Web Dev?

  Basically take sites like https://placekitten.com/ and https://placebear.com/ where you can pass in sizes in the url like so:. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Create audio software akin to physics engines?

  This is essentially sound design from first principles. There's a good book here: https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Sound-Press-Andy-Farnell/dp/0262014416 Note that the software used (Pure Data) can be replaced by another high-level language (SuperCollider: https://supercollider.github.io/) pretty easily. I know of no "tool" to do what you want because there are few things that are universal to different kinds of... - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• Harnessing Screams with Tidal Looper

  Since then, I've been working more and more with TidalCycles. TidalCycles is an open-source live coding framework for creating patterns written in Haskell. TidalCycles uses SuperCollider on the backend, another language I've been using for live coding. Recently, I started using Tidal Looper for live vocal processing. This blog post will walk you through what you need to get started with vocal looping with Tidal... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Csound

  Csound is... "interesting". If you want to play with something more modern, have a look at https://supercollider.github.io/ instead. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• MuseScore 4.1 is now available

  For the intrepid, especially those annoyed with the purported input-sluggishness of musescore et al, an interesting text-based alternative is LilyPond https://lilypond.org/ My dad wrote an opera using LilyPond in vim, though I believe these days he's actually doing more with supercollider, which skips sheetmusic and goes right to sounds: https://supercollider.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Why'd you choose programming?

  Weirdly enough,I got into programming through music. I got into making experimental electronic music and ended up learning SuperCollider. Figured I’d have to get a real job at some point and I liked learning Supercollider enough that I figured I should try to go back to school and learn some more useful programming languages.
