at a certain point i lost the interest in making music - somewhere in my early 30's. the main reason for that was, i think, that i got to a point where everything was perfect - and then instantly questioned it. i guess i just got instantly bored by everything working out for me, and i changed everything. i picked a new field to work in (programming), i wanted to win in a place i had no connection to (videogames), just to start again and completely outdo myself in every discipline.
@lritter what's the secret to winning at music
-
@aeva define "winning" for me and i'll tell you. there are no wrong answers / wrong answers only.
(okay there are several definitions where i'd probably have to admit that i don't know how to get that win)

@lritter for the purpose of conversation let's use whatever definition of "win" you used above

@aeva winning: very plain, simple stupid, one whole year of winning every democompo. it was like reality shouting at me to fucking stop. %)

@lritter ah ok, so I just need to find a pond where all the fish are smaller 🤔
-
@lritter this is very similar to the operating definition of "winning at art" that I was fond of while I was in college
-
@aeva but i strongly suspect i am also a small fish and not a big one since i might have thought i could take on a bigger pond, yet i have mightily failed. i do belong in that pond i come from. only the kind of algae i like grows there.
look i was supposed to return with gifts. a demotool is the smaller part of the whole solution. it falls out automatically.

@aeva it sounds very attractive until you have it. *the meaning of my words fades away as you only read: humble brag humble brag humble brag!*

@lritter videogames is a pretty big pond though, and it turns out that the most important skills in the discipline are not programming, art, music, or design, but budgeting and time management

@aeva tbh my present version of "winning" is just "survive until it's done". i have nothing left to explore. it's time to consolidate. so for that one - i have no proven solution.

@aeva yeah but we're already seeing all games made under those constraints. say you had no constraints. unlimited budget, unlimited time - where would you want it to go? and what's the first step?
there's going to come a time where the videogame industry will ask this question again, and it would be nice to have some answers by then.

@aeva anyway. the next big thing is bridging datalog and audio synthesis.

@lritter as in next big thing you're working on or in general
-
@aeva buy those shares! to the moon!
no hehe just for me. it's more of a semantic translation task rather than programming. how do i want to control music? how is datalog a great tool for that to make absolutely crazy procedural stuff?
the technical side isn't the problem this time.

@lritter if i had unlimited time and money i'd be asleep right now that's the first step *drowsy laughter*

@lritter I can't picture it, mostly because I don't know what datalog is

@aeva you mentioned you're tired. probably not a good moment to get started.
so i'll just try my best attempt at an advertisement: datalog is, as a language, further away from the machine and closer to the mind. it's the missing link.

@lritter well, being at work right now is the reason not to get started, but I find being in a dreamy state of mind can enhance the experience of computer science
Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

Apologies in advance if I misrepresented anybody or missed any crucial bits of information.
Julian (myself) and Ted (tallted@mastodon.social) began the session discussing moderation tools in USENET There are comparable systems to how the threadiverse propagates content. Messages are sent to a remote server who is then responsible for distribution. In relation to moderation, there was more ambiguity. Local users could set up their own kill file but whether moderation could be done from the remote server was not discussed. We discuss more about actions done to contexts (aka topics, threads) Ted recommends a read through RFCs 2821 (SMTP) and 2822 (Internet Message Format) Dmitri (dmitri@social.coop) joins at or before this point, and points out that there continues to be confusion over the context property and @context. Example actions are offered: Removing a context from an audience, and locking a context from new contributions Re: crossposting, Ted discusses the need for implementor changes to allow for contexts to be a part of multiple audiences ed: much of the discussion at this point shifts away from ForumWG terminology and toward email nomenclature for ease of understanding. ForumWG nomenclature is used for these minutes Dmitri points out that a breaking change to AP might be needed in order to break apart header (addressing/recipients) and body Julian asks why, and Dmitri mentions signing difficulties wrt bto and bcc. Julian asks if anybody uses bto and bcc, and Dmitri says "yes, absolutely", and said we should check out darius@friend.camp's Fediverse Observatory for the answer Julian says that as currently implemented, resolvable contexts do not necessarily need to be inherited. Lemmy explicitly does not want to inherit contexts, and their published contexts always refer to a local representation (ping nutomic) Julian steps through an example. NodeBB A federates context /topic/1, NodeBB B receives the topic and assigns it /topic/4bdffa. A later Removes the context. B doesn't know what A/topic/1 is so needs to resolve it, get its' root post, and see if it matches any know context on B, then act on it. Ted and Dmitri caution that this is difficult and messy, and strongly recommend that the root-level context must be inherited

Se non li conoscete. Note Bandite: Resistenza 12
@anarchia

@umbeebmu@mastodon.sdf.org uhm...ho fatto dei cambiamenti sul foglio di stile oggi, ma il font dovrebbe essere scuro.
Grazie di avermelo detto, domani controllo.

@herhandsmyhands I like how they talk about liberal feminism; it's at least the second reference (this time implicit) to a conservative feminism, as if something like that could have ever existed without the centuries of progressive, left-wing fights against everything conservatism means.
