Hello!
After a few days figuring out Mastodon with the help of the folks at QOTO, I will formally introduce myself in order to pin this in my profile :)
My name is Abde and I am a computer scientist. My main domain is #NumericalCalculus and #ParallelComputing. I am currently a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (#belgium) and working on porting numerical solvers for simulations on the GPU using #CUDA. You may find my first paper here: https://etna.math.kent.edu/vol.55.2022/pp687-705.dir/pp687-705.pdf
Other research interests are #complexity #computability #graphtheory #geometry #discretemath
I also work as a #VirtualReality developer. My current professional interests are #simulations #numericalcalculus #geometry. We also contribute in several #opensource projects. Most of my work is done in #Unity3D, so feel free to ask any questions!
As a hobby I do some #gamedev and also #musicproduction. I will share some snippets of what I do here, but for now I am focusing in crafting my art by producing #housemusic in #bitwig.
Please enjoy! I am not the most active but I am looking to build my Mastodon network, so feel free to follow and I will follow back :)

Mmm... should I return to mastodon? Actually I have not been active in any social media, so there will not be a big difference 
Sorry to all my followers for my inactivity !
"Planisphère" by Justice is clearly the Bohemian Rhapsody of Electronic music.
So many #music producers started following me because of my Toots, thanks!
I am following back so don't hesitate to update your bio ;)
I was thinking about doing #collab with people, it would be great to grow together. I am still a newbie but I think I could learn if I open my horizons to new people :)

I suspect it was supposed to be $10,44 per pound, but someone at the shop messed up the price tag, so it was per piece instead

Live coding: a user's manual is out this week, published open access by MIT Press. I have my copy already, after many years it's real!
I just put up a placeholder website, and will upload the pdf, epub and mobi ebook files there on Tuesday, maybe making a web version. It'd be interesting if people started contributing edits, adding extra chapters etc..

currentTime = setInterval( function() {

The #musicproduction for #linux tip of the day!
You may notice that most Vst plugins are not compatible with Linux; however, Wine makes them work really well.
It may be a hassle to use Wine for some users, a non automated and exasperating.
yabridge will help you to seamlessly import your vsts to use directly in your DAW by just putting them in a folder and running one command!
It personally makes me win a lot of time and makes the plugins run almost natively in my pipeline :)

Wow!
Anna Lapwood, a proficient organist, did a surprise appearance at one of Bonobo's concert at Royal Albert Hall.
Seeing how old and modern music mix to give a powerful performance is amazing. Tearful concert.
I would love to do a #gamejam in the future but I don't want to participate as a programmer.
I would like to try doing the music of a game one day. It would be an amazing experience as I have almost 0 knowledge about the subject.
If someone ever wants to do something like that, don't hesitate to contact me o/ The result will surely be rubbish but, hey, we never know.

For my fellow #Unity3D devs out there:
Try strangeIoC, it's amazing. The system of signals in that framework makes decoupling of code so easy.

Me han dicho que hay que hacer esto:
:blobCatMeltWave: Hola, me podéis llamar Sayo, Yue o Aschen.
:blobCatDab: Soy memer pero no mucho.
Me gusta videojuegar y escribir sobre eso.
Además, mi género favorito es el JRPG.
También veo anime y leo manga, pero me ducho.
A veces incluso veo J-Drama o K-Drama.
Me gusta la música y soy amiga de mis amigos.
Just talk to me, soy muy imbécil.
Hello!
Many more people are following me, welcome 
I have been very active during my first days in Mastodon. However, I have never been really involved in social media, so you should expect a decrease in the number of posts I make.
On the other hand, I have even more interactions with less activity in here, and it's something that I greatly appreciate.
Cheers!

There are 20+ known
#AudioSynthesis types. The most popular being:
Combined with #Sampling, #modulating, #Layering, & #FX, these audio engines cover the majority of sound generation from the majority of #Synthesizer #Plugins created.
Unless a #synth provides a special character, there is no point in having more than a couple of synths.
#OpenSource has most everything you need.
Don’t collect synths for #patches, learn the tools you have.

Did you find some great accounts here on #mastodon that are more visual in nature, such as #photography or #art, and you'd like a more #instagram like experience? No problem, the #fediverse can do that. Just use #pixelfed
1 - Find an instance at https://pixelfed.org then register an account
2 - login, copy and paste the fedi address from mastodon into the search bar of #pixelfed
3 - Follow
That's it!
*Please boost if you find this useful for anyone else:)
Why learn a new version of C++ every 3 years if you can do everything in C99?

Did you know the Golden Shrimp Guild has our own "Jam Strategy" cards with each card themed and bearing the name of a member? Available for order at https://gsg.live/cards/ .
I pulled those of streamers you might recognize on Mastodon from my deck for the photo attached.

It's great to see more people joining Mastodon!
And I then realised I don't have an intro!
I'm here for:
#gaming
#photography
#music (jazz, jazz fusion, anything "-wave", prog/post metal/rock ) #food
You will see a lot of posts about Steam Deck, emulators and retro/obscure/indie games, my photography and some food at times.
Thank you for reading!
