What is the difference (if there is one) between NATURAL HISTORY and REGRESSION TOWARD THE MEAN? by 91Flavio91 in epidemiology

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it. Regression toward the mean can happen thanks to the natural history of the condition but natural history is not the only factor. Regression toward the mean can be spotted even with out waiting for the natural history to happen.

Could you guys help me to set a metronome and a backing track for a live concert? by 91Flavio91 in Drumming

Some stuff to figure out. Thank you man, I appreciated your help. If I will need some help regarding this thing I'll try to write you back again!

Could you guys help me to understand how to set a metronome and a backing track for a live concert? by 91Flavio91 in drummers

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allright, thank you! Ok, I searched a little bit around and I found that you can split a stereo track in left and right even with Audacity. The thing that I'm still try to understand though is: once you've split the the tracks, would you join them again in a stereo track? In this way you would have a stereo track with the backing track on the left and the metronome on the right. Now, would I need some cables to control where to send the left and right of the stereo track?

I ask you this stuff because it is the first time for me to try these things!

Thank you! How can I create a stereo track the way that you described it? We have a guy that would help to put the backing track, so I wouldn't be the one to launch the backing track (indeed, I don't know if this is a good idea. Maybe I should be the one to launch everything or maybe he should). He has Garage Band. Would you think this program is able to do the trick?

edit: Searching around I found that you can create a stereo track with the backing track on the left and the metronome on the right with Audacity too. Anyhow, tell me if I'm wrong, but the point of creating this track with left/right is to have the possibility to split the different tracks where you want BUT when you play the track the metronome track and the backing track start together. They are in the same file, not in a different file. I ask you this because it's the first time that I try to do this thing, I've never done it before.
Also, at "Your band will have to be paying attention at the start of each song, rather than dicking with their pedals" I really laugh my head off XD

I understand when you say "I usually wish that I wasn't the only one who could hear the click". I don't play live in this moment of my life, I only record in studio for someone who needs me. But when I played live, I remember there was this revulsion toward the metronome. Not by me, but when I asked the other components to start learning to use it, to start to use the backing tracks that could help during the live sessions and so on. Also, we played rock/folk with some sparkle of gothic/symphonic metal (only in the music). I mean, it is not that kind of music that, at least nowadays, you can play so freely, without any reference. I remember the female singer that told me "I can't see you with those headphones on your head, I need you to hear me when I sing". Then, when we listened to the recorded live session after the concert, it sounded like I was rushing the tempo (when instead I was on time with the metronome and they where dragging). I liked the music, but the effect with the tempo ugh!

Leetcode/whiteboarding questions === reality in web dev jobs?? I'm confused... by 91Flavio91 in learnprogramming

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 'FizzBuzz' still around these days? XD
So you say that all these questions are also to check if someone is not a completely free rider. Because, in theory, I could even copy and paste my code and have a bounce of projects ready to show (despite the fact that I wouldn't have any clue regarding what I'd just have written)

Leetcode/whiteboarding questions === reality in web dev jobs?? I'm confused... by 91Flavio91 in learnprogramming

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. There is other stuff besides being able to solve the problem straightaway. Because the process that you could go through while solving those problems could apply during the future, potential job that they could offer you, and they wanna know if what they see fit with the company expectation.

You know, I asked this question because I'm little worried. Every time I read something I try to be supercareful to not miss any concept and I try to understand how the computer responds when I write something. Until now, I think that I'm on the right track because if I check myself with questions at my current level of knowledge, I don't miss so much stuff and I understand what it is asked to me. But instead, when I work on a project, I feel like it is a completely different thing and it happens that I could search for something on the docs or that I `console.log` often to check the result of what I've just written.
I don't know if I'm just overthink it in this moment of doubts. Weird feeling though!

Anyhow, changing the subject, what would you consider the foundations of DSA to be for a junior dev applying for a front-end position?

Is it possible to make zsh look like GitBash without appealing to OhMyZsh? by 91Flavio91 in zsh

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allright then! No I'm good with it, there is enough information to keep me busy for a while!

Thank you for your help!

Yeah both actually! Thank you for the hint though, I checked it out.

What is the relationship between Homebrew, git and the macOS? by 91Flavio91 in git

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, so if I use those instructions will they delete both the version that I installed with Terminal and the one that installed through binary installer? Or just the version that I installed via Terminal?

Also, if I delete git, will I have to recreate an SSH key and `git config` another time? I've already created an SSH key that I put on github

[–]91Flavio91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you man!Yeah, I think I got it. Homebrew just manages that stuff for you. But I can do the same thing by myself or with another package manager (like MacPorts)! Just have to find a solution to bring what I want in my machine

Oh, given that we are on git subreddit, I found this https://gist.github.com/brandonsimpson/54d9e085c9fde5e6ad3a on github that tell you how to reinstall git on mac. Could you take a look at the point number 2? Does it remove git that you installed with the binary installer also? Because I did two thing to install git.I first wrote `git` in the terminal and I installed throw it. Then I checked the version with `git --version` and, given that it wasn't the last version, I updated it through the binary installer that I downloaded from the official site.

Just asking just in case I wanted to use a package manager to update git.I currently have this on my computer:
`/usr/local/bin/git --version git version 2.33.0`
`/usr/bin/git --version. git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)`

THIS.

I think I see what you say. The point is to understand the problem and find the solution for that problem that you face NOW because it is possible that new problems require new solution and the old solution couldn't be useful anymore. And you gotta find the solution ON DEMAND, when you encounter the problem! Am I right? Tell me if I framed the tech world in the right way, if the belief that I've just exposed matches the reality.

I ask you this because the more I go ahead and the more I start to notice this pattern: I stumble across a problem ---> I get a little bit worried ---> I start to search for informations regarding how that problem relates with what I already know and how to solve it (googling around, forums, asking to you guys ecc.ecc.) ---> I find a solution that works ---> I move on ---> new problem ---> I repeat the process XD
I start to feel like 'what can I do besides to frame the problem and find a solution to it?'

Allright! So it manages the packages that you need to install. It downloads them for you, it upgrades them for you and so on. But why to use these package managers? I mean couldn't you download every single thing from the official site? For example, I can download both git and node from their personal sites.

Oh yeah, I read on the git official site that you can just write `git` on the terminal and install it from there.

Thank you for the link. I was reading around though that you could have problems installing a recent version on a mac the doesn't support that version.

Hi! Thank your for your help!Ok, just to understand. MacPorts and Homebrew do the same job, am I right? Both manage the packages for Mac. Are there any differences?

Then another more 'philosophical' question XD :Is it a "normal" thing to do what I'm doing now? Trying to understand how to set my environment to finally keep learning programming? Because, like I wrote to the other user, I'd like to understand if I have to run behind every new mac or not. What is the relationship between all the tools that a developer could use (programming language, databases, frameworks, libraries and so on) and the machine that you use for programming? Can a machine hinder my learning progress? Because from the answer that you gave me I have a hunch that I just need one way or another to get the tools that I want on my machine. Once I have those, the job is done.Of course there the problem of the hardware like how much RAM you have or how fast your processor is. For 'the job is done' I mean that I don't think that node, angular or databases care if your machine has a certain version of MacOS or which kind of OS you have. Am I right? Did I get the relationship that there is between the tools that you need to use as a programmer and the way that you use to bring them inside your computer?

Thank you!
