I thought @arod did, but turns out he plays the trombone. Close, right?
@tuckerm
What about you? are you in music as well? -
@ethan256 @gijslevelt I can hear the image in this post.
@jasaz
Thank you, lol,I was trying to catch up with "Mother how are you today"

After this comment about trombone, I'm takin back my like
Edit: Sorry, I never did it in the first place
@philleu
Sorrry if I sounded arrogant, I like leads and they are very difficult for me on a troumbone... is it called tenor? idk either -
@ethan256 @gijslevelt not many have mastered the trumpet here, but all of us can at least manage a toot
@http_error_418 Thank you!
-
@ethan256 @gijslevelt longtime trumpet player, but strictly amateur.
@mwyman Great, nice to meet you..
I am not a pro either
-
Does it count if I played a little as a kid, just got another trumpet as an adult, and have no idea how to re-start?

Happy to connect

@TommyTorty10
dont worry Tommy.I am also into tech i.e. web development and some bit of digital marketing,
I am currently learning JS, what about you?
@ethan256 I got a BS in computer engineering but wound up doing mostly web maintenance professionally. I've never really spent time to really learn JS, even though I've used it on occasion. Lately, I've been building a little compiler for a really simple and trimmed down python-like syntax just for fun and to keep skills sharp.

@ethan256 @gijslevelt trying to learn #FlΓΌgelhorn. Love the sound.
@GeorgS I think they share the same fingerings with the trumpet and cornet, iirc.
If yes, then trumprt will be very easy for you if you wish to try it

@TommyTorty10 this is really cool.
I am self taught web dev, trying to understand systems from #freeCodeCamp , but JS is a very hard nut to crack, but hopefull I will be there soon.
I am curious how you are using JS yet you never learnt it

@ethan256 yeah! Literally next door.
Practice session in 2 hours . Let's go!

@poetaster
Sure happy to meet you.I tried a trombone, but it was booring, since I love leads.
I play conets as well, since they share the fingerings
@ethan256 yeah, I love that speedy bebop and balkan lead thing on a trumpet. I think the first musician to really leave a mark on me was Dizzy Gellespie.

@poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place hahah never apologize for saxophone
@julian course not
I sometimes prefer the clarinet or es horn, but if I'm playing with a drummer which is most of the time, sax it is. If I practiced trumpet more, it could hold up, but I'm just better and louder on sax -

Greetings from California!I think my first more serious use of JS was in my university senior project. We had a robot autonomously mapping and navigating through a room and using a camera to recognize objects as it went. The idea was that it was a proof-of-concept for an accessibilty aid to help blind people locate and retrieve dropped objects.
I used JS to do final filtering to select good object identifications before listing out every object the robot saw in the UI. In the end, the JS was short and simple, but the learning curve of getting it to play nice with the robotics software was steep. At that point in my education, I was near the end of university, so learning another language on top of the many I had already dabbled in wasn't bad, but was certainly more stressful on a deadline.
Nowadays I only use it when occasionally updating or making browser extensions.
JS is hard for reasons that can be subtle and difficult to descibe. Many aspects of it are unforgiving. If you have the luxury of time to learn an object oriented language after JS, I would recommend giving it a go. It gets easier to pick up new languages as you grow more familiar with popular design patterns. Imo, many other OOP languages are better at communicating with the dev than JS and make troubleshooting easier.

@TommyTorty10
What other language used for web dev could you recommend me after JS and a few its frameworks is/are mastered. Python? -

What other language used for web dev could you recommend me after JS and a few its frameworks is/are mastered. Python?@ethan256 Most OOP languages aren't used much in webdev. JS is definitely the tool to know there. I would recommend Python, because it is handy both for quickly spinning up prototypical back-end stuff and also for building some more serious infrastructure. It also has a very forgiving error system that makes quickly learning more abstract concepts easier. You can pivot into a lot of other niches and just quickly solve small, one-off problems with Python.
I haven't used Typescript enough to speak on it with expertise, but I hear it's good.
It's getting late here, so I'm gonna log off. I hope you have a good night and good luck with JS!

Do we have some trumpet players on this social?

I am not that good as happy to play
