What do you people use for ethically getting payments online, for funding, crowd-funding and such?

@dissentanddatalove opencollective Can be good, depending on the fiscal host you choose.

If you're coming to EMF, please take a minute to read our health guidance:

Alongside Covid, unfortunately measles and whooping cough (pertussis) are also making a comeback in the UK, so please be aware of their symptoms, and get vaccinated if you aren't already!

Anyone in Germany or Austria (on the route between UK and Slovenia) up for hosting me + maybe other live coders for an gig/workshop around 27th July or 4th August? Looking for a stop-off on the way to https://pif.camp/ by train

@aderieg @servus Yep we will come through Linz for sure!

@twilliability unfortunately I think Berlin would be a bit too much of a detour for this trip but hope to get to that part of the world soon!

Turns out I've managed to book the outward journey to for tomorrow instead of the 30th!

@cymplecy If it's singles via trainline you can change them free of charge, and I find them understanding and helpful when you ring them up in any case.

@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@cymplecy Ah right, looks like it's changed and they've started charging, sorry for the noise!

Re-listening to this interview with B C Manjunath, fully taking in his answer to @xg's queston about whether konnakol could be formalised in code.. He basically says any computer sound can be formalised in konnakol but not vice-versa, because the body is a much more advanced system for thinking about sound than any computer.

^^^ If programmers don't take this kind of point onboard, then they end up in a technological dead end like apple, thinking that putting much-loved culture in a hydraulic crusher is a good idea

Why are British entries always so awful? Pop music is one of the few remaining things Britain is actually good at. And yet...

@cian I thought it was pretty good, way better than 0 anyway.

I'm trying to make a synthesized recreation of a 909 ride cymbal for "fun".

It's really challenging. There's something special going on with the relationship between the partials. They're not harmonic, but they're not random either.

yaxu,
@yaxu@post.lurk.org avatar

@williamfields Kind of related.. This cymbal sounds a lot like a 909 clap, especially with the side stick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJFqfZKaZpY

@sean_ae @williamfields ah nice! There's only one random number source in tidal as well, which can cause some surprising synchronicity

"the biggest 6-month fall in NHS waiting lists in over 10 years" say the Tories. This is plain untrue, and the graphs are the clearest demonstration of how voting does actually matter. This stuff is killing us

As an EU citizen, I'm using my right to deletion to get to remove my data for me.

Here is the link to the form: https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/

I requested a copy of my data for my personal backup and to confirm if they fulfilled my request.

@luca @swaldman @amyworrall @konstantin Yep this is what I'm thinking! So you can do a DMCA takedown as they're breaking your copyright by failing to meet the terms of the license.

I haven't used stackoverflow much, just had two answers I'd posted there. I deleted them both, and got the same email others have got.. Probably the most passive-aggressive email I've ever received.
By the way if you delete your account, they anonymise your posts. AFAICT, that's against the creative commons attribution share-alike license of the posts.

@polinski @patternclubsheffield anything 'patterny' really! we've had instrumental minimal music, algorithmic choreography, mechnical turntablism as well as live coding so far. I'm sure anything you'd want to do would fit !

@polinski @patternclubsheffield Ace! Up to you really, could be 40 mins or so? Shorter also fine :)
We'll split the door takings after expenses if that's ok (just finding out capacity and hire fee..)
