You really dont need any AI to get inspiration for music. Trust me.

I will share what works for me:

Play some songs at the lowest volume so that you can just baaaaaarely hear any sound at all.

Use your brain's amazing ability to interpret almost inaudible songs into a different sound/concept/composition. Your brain will start generating ideas.

works for me.

peace friends.

I finally have a very early demo of the game I’ve been working on to share.

It’s a twitchy puzzle game about social anxiety and communication. Sounds FUN right??

I’d love any and all feedback about it.

I *LOVE* this resource (https://workingwithruby.com/wwrt/) on threading in Ruby.

However, I find the suggestion to monkey patch Enumerable here (https://workingwithruby.com/wwrt/low_level_api/) evokes anxiety.

It suggests something like this:

module Enumerable
def concurrent_each
# impl
end
end

We Rubyists *LOVE* implicit over explicit relationships. We tend to think of this as convention over configuration. Thanks, DHH.

Yet this doesn't scale well.

For apps/gems of any significant complication, the accumulation of implicitness results in cognitive overload.

What if someone *else* gets the idea to add a concurrent_each to Enumerable. That is, Enumerable, as a built-in, is akin to a global namespace.

Instead, I recommend something more like a vaguely Java-esque approach (bear with me!) of:

class ConcurrentEach
def self.using(enumerable, &block)
# use the impl supplied in the example linked above
end
end

Using this would look like:

ConcurrentEach.using(files).each { ... }

This way, we're composing instead of monkey patching or mixing in.

Try to avoid modifying code you don't own.

Or, as I've heard, second-hand, of Matz saying to a friend of mine, "Don't hurt Ruby!" 😂

I write modern classical music as a hobby and just finished a work for orchestra based on the Barry England book from 1968 "Figures in a Landscape". Take a listen if you have the time. (Also, read the book! It's really quite good.)

Taking some time in #Blender to work on the WGM website's background image. In this abandoned shop scene, the full size/ratio of the image is shown in purple. Im using the turn of the wall to add dimensions for the sidebar, and will add a tattered hanging sign there. I will code in a dynamic widget that will go on top of it, and gives a basic status of our queue (open or closed) Got to stage some more random objects where the green arrows are #3D #composition

Since #introduction is trending let's hit it!

I'm a #computer enchanter from A #Coruña, #Galicia, in the spanish northwest.

I'm also really into #music #composition and production and like to learn about music theory. I play the #violin too.

I play #videogames, specially of the #narrative and #roleplaying kind. I hope to create my own some day. I love #scifi and #detective stories.

I also do some #weightlifting and generally enjoy #bikes, study #Mandarin #Chinese on #Duolingo and write code.
