@steve @jrose @inthehands that too, sure. Though I think that there are valid reasons to gather some stuff for some time but… yeah we’ve proven that we can’t manage that so scorch earth

@jrose @inthehands both sounds right to me

A person is not “diverse”. Pass it on.

@inthehands the biggest thing holding me back *now* is that I have no confidence in my ability to manage any amount of community that might crop up. I have grown accustomed to doing whatever I want with these libraries for better and for worse. I know that I *could* just say “do with it what you will” but… I honestly feel like I should still manage to leverage the literal decade of work for *some* clear external benefit. I’m working on getting over that, though.

@inthehands I have always planned to open source it. (if nothing else, when I retire or die.) Recently, I was chatting with Aurelius about making it work with AudioKit and that would probably be a good time if it happens.

I wanted to make it available closed source for a while to fund further development of it but that just seems hard to successfully do.

In short, not yet.

In an effort to manage unrelated rage, I will be discussing a a couple libraries that I have written over the years. AMA

TonalKit is a library meant to capture “everything” music theory. It does not because that’s quite the task but it has most of the obvious requests, I think. (Scales, chords, accidentals, etc). It has accumulated portions that are very much not music theory related (MIDI, for instance) as well.

@gwensnyder

The whole thing is questionable. Through and through.

Is there a way to keep the parent company of Threads from benefiting from All My Data while allowing people who genuinely feel more comfortable on a big instance to interact? I run my instance so this decision is on me really. I am unwilling to share my “content” for AI but I would actually be ok with someone who doesn’t have an inclination to navigate The Fediverse

@synkr3tyk I'm trying to figure out how to live with it. My only hypothetical beef at this moment is with the consumption of my feed by corporations not humans so I want to know if I can guard against that specifically. iirc I did, already, restrict the visibility of my server even before all of this Threads hoopla

@synkr3tyk This kind of information is what my question was about so thank you. I wasn't sure if everyone most people were just defaulting to “NO. FULL STOP. NOTHING.”. I am in a strange space because I am not *that* motivated to learn about *all* of the technical details here but I am motivated to keep some idea of where my information goes. That's why I have my instance.

I am a special type of broken person. I say this because I am upset that my computer works right now. I am upset because it didn't work yesterday (slept every 3 seconds and no keyboard or mouse functionality. not even the fake clicks) I have an appointment in 2 hours and simply powered it on just now on a sneaking suspicion.

No reproducible case means the appointment isn't worth it but no appointment also means that I am now just waiting for it to happen again.

Neat.

Part of why we dance on the graves of people who did terrible things in life *is* to clearly shine light on those terrible things. Yes, address and undo that harm, but it is actually important to point out that the harm was done, lest we just let that happen again.

Did you know that making something complicated be *actually* generic is Not Always Straightforward? I forgot, I guess.
I'm implementing self description so I have to reckon with the fact that not all symbols are comparable—for instance because maybe the thing I'm parsing isn't made of Characters—and I don't like it.

parts of my upset
- GADTs would enable this work.
- I have so much String specific work on a parser type that is NOT generic that I could leverage more if I dropped generics.
- The generic implementation works. Pretty well, even. Just no self description fanciness. I could just let this go. (Could I, though? Really?)

This is a perfect distillation of the problem. You're still mispronouncing wage shortage and calling it a labor shortage.

Should I actually finish Mr Robot?

To clarify my question… does it *stay* good? I think I watched the first season when it first aired but then… I just wandered away. First season was solid, iirc. No spoilers, did it end in a satisfying way?

Those poll results were pretty obviously released just before voting day as a means of discouraging left leaning voters. Please vote. I am not fully satisfied by the dems but voting still matters

The democratic party *really* should present a younger person with less center-leaning policy goals and actually throw their weight behind them. Even if they are cynics trying to maintain status quo. The system we have has enough inertia to stop "falling completely in to socialism" or whatever the concern is and it would actually do something to rally people. Alas, who am I but someone random person who doesn't think that "but the other guy is *even worse than me so…*" is a sustainable pitch.

Is there any worthwhile reason to join the NextDoor app beyond “potentially get ahead of racist chatter at the expense of deliberately exposing onesself to an additional vector for racist chatter?”

@mcc There is *so much* in this tiny little snippet. It's amazing, really.

I didn't remember that `typeof` returned something that could be compared to a string like that.

Oh. I read the context for this a few moments ago. THIS IS BECAUSE NODE.

Another layer has entered the chat.

Such depth of fervor here.
