I just released version 0.10.0 of SuperSonic - my web port of the powerful SuperCollider audio synthesiser.
It's feeling *really* good now, and I definitely think it's ready for people to start exploring.
Have a play and let me know what you think!

From FB: Russia is struggling. Selling off it's gold to pay for the war, rationing fuel, and now solders refusing to fight.
This is why they've come to the table, to get a pause and regroup.
Don't give in, keep the pressure on.

I spent over 3 months working full-time on a web port of SuperCollider’s powerful synth engine.
Just to add the best audio capability to Tau5.
If that’s not a clear sign that I’m in it for the long haul, I don’t know what is.

So... Russia gets everything it wants?
Well.... they can fuck off.
Yet more proof that Trump is a Russian asset. Russia is the aggressor, has murdered thousands of innocent Ukrainians, committed numerous war crimes, and Trump wants to give them everything?

Can anyone think of a crop that is farmed at the north pole other than ice pops? It's funny that climate change doesn't seem to have affected ice pop availability at all. They really are nature's most plentiful bounty. What's your favourite flavour? Mine's blue - the taste of cool Arctic water.

The US needs to stop making peace plans without including the people who have been attacked by War criminals.
If Russia wants peace, they can leave Ukraine, give up all the land they've stolen, and pay reparations.

Today I discovered, quite by accident, that if I have to interact with too many people in a day then deciding which Muppet would play them is a good strategy.
I definitely met Bunsen and Scooter and possibly a Swedish Chef. Thankfully no Statler and Waldorf. I wish to be played by Kermit please.

I totally get and respect that not all programmers want to use LLM agents in their work.
However, if you're against other people choosing to use them you're just a gatekeeper.
