Curious, would the rewrite allow for building on hardware platforms such as the Daisy?

Or maybe it is already possible, to be fair I haven't looked closely.

of course I already got a poc a while ago:

but for now my main mcu is rp2350

Awesome, will check it out!

I have been using ChucK for a long time. Like others here, I appreciate Max/Pure Sound but would rather use my text editor.

  Delay delay;
  LPF filter;
  Reverb reverb;
  Gain feedback;
  
  adc => delay => filter => reverb => dac;
  filter => feedback => delay;

I'm curious what you did with it? I spent a little time with ChucK with the Oxford Laptop Orchestra (as was) which was an offshoot from the Princeton one. I was there as a technologist, not a musician. Always had a soft spot but never found myself using it again.

I mostly use it for learning things. How does this guitar pedal effect work? Why does this Eurorack module sound so good? How can I drive this MIDI instrument from this OSC controller? etc.

Ideally there would be an easy path from ChucK to implementing all of these things in hardware but I haven't quite got there yet.

Wow that's a serious amount of work! I might take another look.

I had a PowerComputing desktop, sweet metal case, and good performance specs for the price. I can't recall the exact model though. Was still working fine when I donated it to a local vintage computer non-profit!

The link above does not mention a Founding Data Engineer role -- I sent an email but have not received any reply.

Thank you for writing up your experience!

I have done a ton of Swing over the years, and also a 2.5D zoomable scene graph API called Piccolo2D [0], which was one of the inspirations for JavaFX (or so I heard at the time).

As far as your advice, I will take a look at swapping Batik out for EchoSVG, and also see how you tackled the user data directory issue in KeenWrite.

I was at ISMB [0] and BOSC [1] conferences earlier this month and Venn and Euler diagrams were all over the poster session. Not sure why, but biologists love them!

I wrote an implementation of Venn and Euler diagrams for the bioinformatics data visualization application Cytoscape many years ago [2]. Sigh, thick clients in Java haven't aged all that well.

Very cool!

I am curious if you might explain how/why this stack diverges from the upstream one (bebop/poly)? I see for example dnadesign has a version two of the seqhash algorithm that looks rather interesting.

I'll make sure to explain it a little more!

Basically, I developed a whole lot of bebop/poly, but I had some disagreements with the owner of the repo (Timothy Stiles) about direction at the later stages of development. For example, I wanted to standardize all the parsers to use a generic interface, so that they're all used in the same way, while he didn't really want to change anything. There were other features I wanted to add as well - you can see a full list in the changelog (which are the changes since diverging from upstream)

All the time!

My most recent were tools to improve the AWS commandline experience for s3 and Athena

https://github.com/heuermh/cooper

https://github.com/heuermh/sea-eagle

Both are available via Homebrew

https://github.com/heuermh/homebrew-parquet-tools

I would next like to improve the TUI experience for tabular data, e.g. using the Charm_ Bubbles/Gum table component, but I have yet to investigate how the JVM <--> Go interaction might work.

Curious what it might take to add AWS Athena as another back end?

Someone else added this as an issue! We're happy to take a look at it. To gage interest please upvote it :)
