Awesome, will check it out!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

Cool! I have a 128k Mac in working but not restored condition, reach out to me if interested.

I also have a 512ke, which I'll not be able to part with, as it was my first computer. Still runs the copy of HardBall! I hacked to use the roster from my baseball team!

Since moving from GCP BigQuery to AWS Athena, I missed having something for Athena similar in functionality to the BigQuery bq command line tool.

Made this quickly, and then a python version based on awswrangler for work (not open source, unfortunately).

Hang in there, lots of folks having similar experience!

We have been pretty impressed with the closed-ish loop of the Dexcom and Omnipod, it handles daily fluctuations due to more/less exercise etc. fairly well.

Still two separate handheld devices though, and quality always falls off when the sensor (every 10ish days) and pump (every 3 days) approach expiration.
