• 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 / 17 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

• Why is it important to keep the frontend up to date on dependencies if your backend is secure?

  I worked at Facebook, where we communicate with each other using an internal version of Facebook. Once, our frontend security engineer (author of https://escape.alf.nu) wrote a clickbait story which ended with “… (read more)”, like most long Facebook stories did at the time. However, he had exploited an XSS hole in our frontend so that clicking the “read more” link allowed arbitrary Javascript to execute on your... Source: 7 months ago
