New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Esolang Park, a visual debugger for esolangs

Show HN: Esolang Park, a visual debugger for esolangs
16 by nilaymaj | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! Esolang Park is an online visual debugger interface for esoteric programming languages, that I've been working on for the past few months. For every supported language, Esolang Park provides the powerful Monaco code editor, syntax checking, debugging functionality and a visualisation of the runtime state. The core is language-agnostic - a "language provider" only needs to implement the esolang's parser, interpreter and visualisation UI (and some other little stuff). Apart from trying to boost DX for esolangs, the idea is for this to grow into a platform where people can discover and play around with a variety of esolangs without leaving the browser. That's quite far away though - the project is quite early in development and currently only has 5 languages (Befunge-93, Brainf*ck, Chef, Deadfish and Shakespeare). Some features like non-debugging execution mode (0ms interval) are missing too. Currently the entire source code[0] (core + language providers) is written in TypeScript and React. Esolang code execution happens in a web worker. I'm planning to add support for WASM-based language providers for better performance, particularly for non-debugging execution. There's also a wiki[1] containing a description of the core design and a guide for implementing and contributing new language providers. Looking to hear some feedback on the idea and current implementation - bug reports are welcome too! [0] https://ift.tt/RKPLgbA [1] https://ift.tt/Q0kvIuW

Show HN: Cloning a musical instrument from 16 seconds of audio
26 by abdljasser2 | 2 comments on Hacker News.
In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments. In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then fine-tuning parts of the model to the new recording. This allows us to produce decent sounding instrument synthesisers from as little as 16 seconds of target audio instead of 6-10 minutes.

Show HN: Arduino 6502 Controller
11 by billziss | 0 comments on Hacker News.
The 6502ctl project is an Arduino controller for the 6502 CPU. The controller controls all 6502 pins, including the clock signal and interrupts, and simulates an address and data bus with attached memory and an output peripheral. The controller includes a clock-cycle debugger with disassembler. An assembler is also included with the project.

Ask HN: Tools to visualize data in SQL databases?
13 by dyml | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I’d like to hear what tools you use to easily visualize the data in a sql table? Preferably I’d just like to click on a MariaDB table and receive some plots and statistics on the columns. Whats your experience on this? Edit: to clarify, I don’t want to visualize the database itself (Schema’s, keys etc). Just the data within it.

Ask HN: I am not a competitive guy, how will it affect my career?
25 by throwaway1183 | 27 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I am not a competitive guy. Neither am I curious enough to dive deep into intricate details. I am jack of all trades but master of none. All I is know enough subject matters to make things work. Is there something fundamental that I am missing? I enjoy life in the most boring way. Just doing enough to pass a day. I strive for being good, but my good is just average. Is it necessary to be competitive to have a successful career in tech? How far can a boring person with diversified interest go? If one doesn't aim for excellence, is it a bad thing? I am really early in my career and sometimes I get cold feet when I see how incredible other people are. What does it take to uplift myself and my own levels? I have come to realize that just to make a small dent (as in new contribution beyond being a boring copy-cat), I would require tremendous amount of years of consistent effort. Thank you for suggestions!

Wanted to hear about experiences from employees who have RSUs/options in a private company and whether they were able to sell their shares on the secondary market? Were you able to sell? What platform did you use? Were you able to sell w/o board approval? If so, were you able to use private forward contracts to complete a deal? Anything you can tell me about the experience would be much appreciated!

Ask HN: Is there any tool for benchmarking responsiveness for Linux?
28 by c0deR3D | 15 comments on Hacker News.
System76 recently announced their responsiveness optimizer, System76 Scheduler [0], which basically works as a daemon, adjusting the nice value and the CFS knobs for processes in the box for increased responsiveness. They've claimed that the responsiveness is therefore increased, which I'm also believed so. However, this got me wondering, is there exists any tool that can report the "numbers" (e.g., scheduling latency) regarding to the responsivenss? Maybe Google has such tool for testing regression for Android or Chrome OS, sadly, I didn't managed to find one. Thanks! [0] https://ift.tt/hPaDI3s

Show HN: Atlas – A deployment pipeline platform built on Argo CD
18 by mihirpandya | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Atlas is an open-source deployment pipeline platform built for cloud-native applications. Atlas allows users to: - Create continuous pipelines across all their environments and clusters - Add custom tasks/tests plugins (Python scripts, K8S manifests, Argo Workflows, environment setup, etc.) - Automatically rollback applications in case of failure or degradation (Atlas watches the application past the scope of a pipeline run to ensure and enforce stability) - Use all existing Argo features Would love to hear all of your feedback and thoughts on this!
