Picking those types of chimes that, more or less, are never dissonant is clever but it gives me an interesting thought about understanding complexity.
Sometimes, visual complexity can be overwhelming - probably in no small part in that our vision is our most intensive information input method. Converting to audio, although not necessarily giving any explicit understanding of the complexity is an interesting mechanism to impart its depth.
Standardized is some manner, or maybe a few, may make this an interesting tool.
Which, this being CP, begs the question of how code would sound if its structure were represented audibly. Also, the frightening aspect of Q&A so represented - even those chimes can be forced into dissonance.

In my university days, the computer centre's CDC 3200 had a DAC from the top 3 bits of the accumulator hooked up to a speaker. Experienced operators could tell the progress of jobs by the sound. And of course certain Engineering students tried to abuse the facility....

Which begs the question about going the other way: A sound-based programming language.

We had bright sunshine yesterday. Today I woke up to a light dusting of snow, which has gradually built up to what would be described as (in the south east of the UK) a blizzard.

Yes, we had a bright warm - ish - day yesterday. Wind was a little lazy, but it was a nice day.
Until it started to snow, that is. Of course, by then the washing on the line was nearly dry ...

No snow in Cambridge, but it's definitely brass monkeys here.

It does look like it's concentrated in the south east, and the worst bit was right overhead here in Woking until about half an hour ago.

Had to look that up - a quaint if inexplicable expression.
I, myself use "As devoid of thermal excitation as the dextro-mammary of a female necromancer" which is a polite way of saying "Cold as a witch's tit" that I composed in the middle 1980's.

It is not unheard of to have snow in April/May here in Upstate New York. Snow happens.
|
|
|
|

Yes, but where I live it is almost unheard of these days. And even in the depths of winter we get very little, compared to when I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s.

Oh gawd yeah - I remember snow deeper than I was tall back in 62-63.
That one was exceptional, but winters are wetter than they were, and so are summers. I remember summer holidays when it was hot and sunny all day, every day.

I hear you. Perhaps this is an isolated weather pattern, or perhaps, the weather is beginning a slight reversal? Who knows.
Been sunny and warm here all last week and now rainy all this week. I hope we don't get any snow before summer.

Global warming. Better get used to it.
Remember being told that the only way kids in the UK will ever see snow again is in a snow globe?

Saturday was in the upper 70s and sunny. There's a chance of snow every night this week. Welcome to what those of us on the Colorado Front Range (I-25 corridor) get to experience every April.

Oh yes, I know about Colorado weather. I used to work for StorageTek (now Oracle) based in Louisville, and visited many times in all four seasons. Whatever the weather, Colorado remains one of my favourite places in the world (and second only to Washington state in the USA).
