Maybe somewhat similar.</p>
<p>Question for <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/trombone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>trombone</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/euphonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>euphonium</span></a> players (and anyone else with an opinion): It's common for people to double on these instruments. I submit that we can always tell which one is a person's primary instrument. </p><p>My guess is it's because you have to blow them differently to achieve the characteristic timbre. </p><p>A trombonist will tend to blow a euphonium too hard, resulting in roughness in the sound. </p><p>A euphoniumist will have difficulty making the trombone resonate properly. This is evident even when the person plays both instruments well enough to handle paying gigs without any trouble. Evident, even, in professional orchestral trombonists who pick up a euphonium occasionally to play Bydlo or tenor tuba parts.</p><p>Do you agree or disagree or have a different take on it?</p>

@leon@peoplemaking.games @whitequark@mastodon.social @lunarood@mastodon.gamedev.place @mcc@mastodon.social programs are arguably just condensed information - arguably, they wouldn't be protectable as they are if they weren't deemed to be as such (copyright doesn't apply to designs, physical goods, etc.)
A ton of software research ends up *as* software, with the papers essentially boiling down to "hey, look at this software we created, here's some comparisons with other stuff".

What I think we need to be more careful about is the spread of *products*. Products should be considered immediately applicable as weapons and/or revenue sources to the worst people the authors can imagine and licensing decisions should go from there.</p>
