I made a command-line tool to assist me with writing polyrhythmic drum parts
Tidalcycles actually runs SuperCollider as its sound backend, through the SuperDirt library: https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt/

Sonic Pi ā Code based live music creation tool
Another excellent Haskell based live-coding tool: https://tidalcycles.org/
Even if you don't know Haskell, it is a delight to improvise electronic music with this library. It comes with its own mini-language for dealing with musical patterns and can synchronize with any instrument. Very extensible, the backend uses https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt, a SuperCollider extension for dealing with synths / samples / effects.

Libraries for (crossplatform) MIDI and OSC I/O?
Cl-collider is really nice. However, Iām trying to design something so that I can be free from SuperCollider one day. I already programmed a library in Python targeting SuperDirt for live-coding. The drawback is that Iām now dependant on SuperCollider for almost any kind of I/O (OSC pass through SC and out, as well as MIDI).

Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels ā and the problem begins in childhood
Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing.

Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot
I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].
Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?
[0] More than half of the past year's most popular Tesla articles were negative: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru...

The Man Who Killed Google Search
It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.
All I want to do is search.
No AI.
No ads.
No shopping.
Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.
I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.
Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.
Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.
It can't really just be me, can it?

Tesla Recalls All Cybertrucks for Faulty Accelerator Pedals
Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Show HN: What Are You Working On?
Hey HN,
I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.
I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.
I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Let me know what you think!

Not Apply to YC
I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.

Moxie: I'm no longer involved at Signal
not sure. I searched comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...
Most recent are more culture wars stuff but some earlier ones appear to suggesting a degree of alignment with the USA government.
