This seems nice, introductory and very up-to-date. If I may offer some superficial criticism, I found the covered material was at odds with the title. The title evokes themes of algorithmic composition and experimental whole-music generatio

That part of the article is poorly phrased and leaves out some important information on the judgement. There's a link to an issue of Nuclear Law Bulletin that provides better detail. The biggest charges were ordered to be paid by CNE

I'll admit it, you made me look up "Coll simulation" to figure out what it was. Even though I assumed it was a typo. Which it is.

Tones.fm is incredibly well done. However I suspect that, compared to this, the additional complexity creates a bit more hesitation for visitors to actually start playing with it. And the demos, while great, also paradoxically reduce the li

There's a scene like that in the 2003 version of Zatoichi. But it's with manual construction equipment, so the musicality is rhythmic rather than harmonic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk4oGCPGXz4

Yes. " STOKE can be used in many different scenarios, such as optimizing code for performance or size ". Note that this is the 4th sentence in the linked page. However the README hints that STOKE is unlikely to improve much over g

Don't overgeneralize, though. Yes, using the traditional pipeline is indeed way more efficient when you're creating traditional scenes. However, this technique of doing everything in a fragment shader can actually make sense for

In case you're wondering, this appears to be a hobby project made with Haxe (which the author seems to be a fan of). However it's not open source. https://community.haxe.org/t/webliero-a-game-made-with-haxe&#x

I'm impressed at how many decent players are in there. Liero controls take a while to get used to, so I opened this thinking it would be a total noobfest. I'm mostly thrown off by the controls being different from what I was used

In that case there should be no actual text selected. The problem only occurs when there is text visibly selected and you press your copy shortcut. In those cases the only correct behavior is to copy the selected text.

This supports ES6 modules, which I believe are totally unsupported by Hugo Pipes. I remember being annoyed at having to throw node and webpack into the pipeline just because of that (which slowed everything to a crawl).

This could be a new genre of highly experimental cinema. Turn a program into a short film by replacing each one-liner by its corresponding video clip. You'll need to figure something out for variable names, strings and numbers, though.
