• Show HN: Render audio to HTML canvas using WebGPU

  Nice! Great project website styling and demo. I had a WebGPU scope demo using vanila JS here, but it's not connected to AudioContext at all. https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-cuc9vs Still, I had to use the old WebGL solution for https://glicol.org since the WebGPU support seems to be pretty slow at the moment. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• AI-generated sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License

  Suno is great and I already shared its potential back in v2. I have always believed that the essence of digital music is "organized numbers". I think what needs to be thought about is how to use AI in this process. If you look at the results (numbers) generated, then we are indeed very close. But there is another future I believe: I hope AI can compose music with me, like copilot. This is why I keep working on... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Velato: A programming language where source code must be a valid MIDI music file

  Interesting! Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. Although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner: https://strudel.cc/ And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest. https://glicol.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• We were not accepted into Google Summer of Code. So, we started our own

  I also applied with Glicol (https://glicol.org/) and got rejected, which is totally understandable. I am basically working this project on my own with almost zero extra funding. I am currently working on a new website. The old stack is Vite, Svelte and Windi CSS (discontinued unfortunately). So this time maybe Astro + Solid + Tailwind. And I am also trying to rewrite the whole Rust backend if possible, so there is... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• My Sixth Year as a Bootstrapped Founder

  This is a really informative and inspiring article. It hasn’t been 6 months (not 6 years) since I quit my full-time job as a Rust developer to start my own business. As time goes by, I can feel the pressure of mortgage and car loans, and I can also feel the care and pressure of my family. My original plan was to make an interface for Glicol (https://glicol.org), and to develop relevant hardware with firmware... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  FreeFileSync messed up my pCloud database a couple times at first (causing disappearing files in the Crypto Folder, mirroring of the same files over and over again). Pcloud support provided an easy way to fix the database. To fix the root cause, one needs to exclude FreeFileSync's temporary files from the backup: pCloud Drive > Settings > Backup/Sync Exclusions, exclude sync.ffs_lock and *.ffs_tmp.

• Why are file backups so slow on Windows 11?

  As per Apprehensive_Arm_754 answer below, https://freefilesync.org is the solution to my particular problem, since it allows all kind of simple rules and logic to apply, so I can make sure that the copy only happens in one direction, and only ever by file date etc. Much appreciated.

• Is it possible to sync Calibre configuration between Mac and Windows continuously?

  It was me, I'd probably play around with setting up shared folders of preferences and plug-ins and whatnot on something like dropbox or Google Drive. There are various folder sinking tools on both platforms such as free file sync on Windows. Since they are two completely different platforms, I don't know how interchangeable some of the preferences or plugins would be. I haven't used a Mac in a 100 years. Source: 6 months ago
