dreamrealhttps://bytecode.news/posts/2026/10/i-paid-people-to-try-and-follow-my-readme - this is a post I made a few days ago, *but* it has narration now - it's not "a podcast" but it sort of is, and there's an RSS download *for* the audio streams. I'm going to create an apple/spotify podcast for BCN at some point but I need the system to work first.

sojuus3rif authors are terrible reviewers, wouldnt that equally apply to the author using this strategy?
* stfstfm quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
dreamrealsojuus3r: which strategy?
sojuus3rthe one you describe in the article
dreamrealAuthors can, by the way, BE good reviewrs; it just takes a lot of discipline and few programmers are good authors like that. Many are decent writers, but authorship is a discipline. And I described multiple strategies in the article, which is why I asked which one you were referring to.
dreamrealThe strategy *I* wrote about - the one I use - is a combination of platforms, some heuristic, some review-based. The review stuff, the diataxis aspect, is still best offloaded to other interested parties. The heuristics are easy enough for a machine to do, because it's simple NLP.
dreamrealI can do diataxis well enough myself because I *use* my documentation: I write it thinking "this will help me use this in the future" and future-me reads it because I need to use it and goes "oh, crap, I am a moron, I need to know THIS, not THAT."
* hwpplayer1 joined #java
dreamrealbut again, most authors know what they meant and not what they wrote, so they naturally correct themselves in the flow. That's pretty much every reader, really, it's why you can read badly misspelled text, among other things. But when you correct yourself, you rely on the reader ALSO being able to correct themselves in the same way, and that's a lot less common than we'd like to think.
sojuus3ri prefer my technique of just not writing READMEs and then then acting all surprised when people dont use the stuff.
dreamrealThat is, indeed, a technique.

dreamrealsojuus3r: I assume you read it and didn't listen to it, yeah?
sojuus3rcorrect
sojuus3ris it the google thing where they turn any text into a podcast?
dreamrealgod no
dreamrealif you listened to the first 15 seconds that question would have been cleared up, I'm not a strong speaker :D
sojuus3rhmm i used to have this link that shows you how to sound better in recordings but i lost it somewhere sorry
sojuus3rits like virtual audio cable this and that, makes you sound like a sexy low voice sultry man
sojuus3rlike god intended
dreamrealsojuus3r: My "sounding better" isn't a problem of equipment. I have a pro audio rig here. My problem is that my speaking is not strong, period. It's the capture, not the process.
dreamrealI could clean up some of the audio further but ... eh. Tuning gates, eq, compression... is still lipstick on a pig and I find I personally kinda prefer "this sounds like a real person even if he needs to learn to talk good some day."
* stfstfm joined #java
dreamrealSo i don't go back and clean up places where I made mistakes, or hesitations, or anything like that. I don't have a policy on unintended silences or coughs yet - I'll probably edit those out - but overall, that's one recording, straight through, I hit "record" and that was it.
* stfstfm_ quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
sojuus3rthen why do you have a professional audio rig oof
dreamrealbecause I'm a working musician?
sojuus3rlink?
sojuus3rare you secretly making boombap without telling me?
dreamrealIf you've been in #java for any length of time, I've never hid that I'm a musician.

sojuus3rits hard to find love when you're at a soup kitchen?
dreamrealHey, I like that song
dreamrealit's def a weird feel for me, has a lot of country swing to it, but it fit, so that's what I did
dreamreal(That's "Consumption" off of Gravity Well, for anyone else.)
sojuus3ryour music is very wobbly
dreamrealI don't know what "wobbly" means to you
dreamrealI can think of a lot of possible meanings, though, most of which fit fully
sojuus3rone or more of those, prolly
dreamrealcare to elucidate?
dreamrealIf I give you MY possible answers, I pollute the answer space
sojuus3rthen gimme a top 5
dreamrealnah, that pollutes the answer space, and MY top five involve choices I made deliberately in a lot of cases
sojuus3rwell i would be surprised if it was unintended and just happened
dreamrealIt depends on what you mean by "wobbly!"
* stfstfm_ joined #java
sojuus3rgrieve is very wobbly
dreamrealI mean, to ME, if you're referring to the pitch, I use a lot of chorus and ADT-type things: chorus because I like really big, wide sound spectrums, and ADT because as a singer I'm ALMOST as good as I am as a speaker: I sing my own lyrics because I'm the only vocalist I have, so I use things that hide the worst aspects of my voice as much as I can. So "wobbly" might mean pitch and stereo field:
dreamreal*agreed* and *chosen*
sojuus3rconsumption too
dreamrealbut then wobbly might be "mein Gott you're inconsistent" which is ALSO true: I don't hold to a single musical form, I don't want to, I want to play what I think of writing, and as I'm not a particularly strong mastering engineer (to say the least) my sonic output is... well... variable
sojuus3rwhat are your influences?
dreamrealso if you're talking about stereo field and the pitch being inconstant, yes, "wobbly" is entirely appropriate, and it's a chosen effect
* stfstfm quit (Ping timeout: 257 seconds)
dreamrealerrr... hrm. If I had to pick quickly: Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, The Police, King Crimson? But that's just what I'm thinking RIGHT NOW. I could add Cline, Cash, Metheny, Steve Morse, a host of others without much more thought.
BombeI don’t know much, but throwing somebody a Wikipedia link is not “teaching.”
dreamrealAh, well, hiphop and other similar forms failed to intrigue me as an artist: I've done some of them, but they were all humor and reflected my level of investment
sojuus3rBombe: its a great start tho
dreamrealit's informative enough: it's not my form of music.
* hwpplayer1 quit (Quit: sleep)

sojuus3rexactly. As a musician you should listen to artist you don't want to emulate that aren't your form of music
