I'm a distributed systems architect, with experience in JVM-based languages, C-likes, NodeJS, Python, and others.
But here's what ChatGPT says about me:
Joseph Ottinger - editor, writer, musician, and all-around mediocre guy. He's written some stuff, edited some other stuff, and claims to be a musician. If you're looking for someone who's just okay at a bunch of things, Joseph's your guy.

May is Mental Health Awareness month, apparently. (See https://thenationalcouncil.org/mental-health-awareness-month/ for example.) In honor of that:
If you're struggling, it REALLY IS okay to reach out, to say, "Hey, I need a hand, I'm feeling like this." It's not selfish. It helps the people around you to help you.

I have no interest in rejoicing over he misfortunes of others, but if Carlson and Lemon both are off the air, that's a LOT of amplified monetization of outrage being removed from the playing field.
We can only hope they stay off the air, and that their replacements are kinder to their ideological opponents, such that they are.
And with Lemon torching his employers... https://twitter.com/CNNPR/status/1650545115897769985 .. maybe he'll be unemployable by anyone reputable.
Twenty-four hours left to go for a kickstarter for a new literary publication. They are getting close to their goal - would you consider helping make it happen?

Rolf Kasten has a new book out, on sound generation, called "New Concepts For Music And Sound Volume 1." It's got a reduced price on it for now; I have some of his other work, and it's surprisingly good. Check it out, if you're into synthesis.
Yes, this book is an extended manual concerning Ongaku, Bento and Berna3. And, yes, there are legions of videos embedded in the PDF, videos that show examples of how to work with these sofware instruments. But this e-bokk is more. A lot more than just a manual! This book starts answering questions like "How to make new progressive music in the 21st century?" or "How can I translate the pioneering spirit of the pioneers of electronic music to my situation as a music producer NOW?"
