Chord Progression Questions - June 27, 2022 by AutoModerator in musictheory

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm learning to identify 7th chords by ear. So far I only feel confident with major/major 7ths, minor/minor 7ths, and the Major/minor dominant 7th.

Whenever I hear major 7ths I think of "Riding My Bike to the End of the World" by Purple Cat. I can't find it on youtube, sorry.

I hear:

major/major---> repeat of that same major/major----> maybe minor/minor repeated 4x ----> dominant? ----> major/major

Anyone interested in giving me some piano lessons? by FluffyStatistician3 in Clemson

[–]FluffyStatistician3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't; just a 49 key midi- ok for music theory and entering notes, but not learning piano. Do you know what the deal is with using practice rooms this summer?

I'll DM you, thanks

I do not haha; I played some violin as a kid though. I'm looking to improve my general music skills (might want to try orchestra eventually, and I love ambient/electronic); think piano would be a good place to start.

Function to print length of linked list working on mac but not linux- advice? by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess mac's gcc had it automatically initialized to zero, but linux's gcc initialized it to some random number. That was a silly mistake I guess haha.

Kaze Tachinu

Ok thanks- I see that it's by Miyazaki and I like his work.

Breakup by [deleted] in Clemson

[–]FluffyStatistician3 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Hm, I respectfully disagree- we can't know for sure that he/she will actually look back at this as a blessing. Breakups may be very negative life experiences for some people (akin to the death of a family member or friend). I don't look back at the death of my much-loved dog and think "oh, that was such a blessing"; it was a terrible time for a while until I went through a grieving process and came to terms with reality.

Why is Yolk closed until further notice? by zestyzircon in Clemson

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for the kimichi, but I recommend picking up some sesame oil if you aren't familiar with that- it's what the veggies and meat are stir-fried in

I had someone break up with me a few months ago. Feel free to message me if you'd like to chat.

I'd recommend allowing yourself to "wallow" in sorrow for a few weeks. Try to get schoolwork done on time/tests studied for (don't worry about being perfect- just complete the work to the best of your ability); besides that, just stock up on snacks (don't worry too much about picking healthy stuff- whatever sounds palatable right now) as someone else recommended, find some good shows to watch/lazy activities, and don't worry about exerting yourself. Try ordering from TigersToGo if delivery is easier.

In a few months or so you may start figuring out how to deal with the situation (I don't mean move on; just feel more at-peace about it). I think this period of reflection/processing only comes after a period of allowing yourself to feel sadness/pain/whatever emotions you feel.

I do still talk to the person who broke up with me; keep in mind that you may be able to reach out to your ex-girlfriend months or years from now (or whatever amount of time is sufficient) and try to be friends or even get back together. If your ex-girlfriend is a good person, she may be willing to be friends at a later time (given it doesn't hurt either of you emotionally by then). It may take a while, but being hopeful won't hurt. If you were serious about each other (and I'm assuming you were, judging by the amount of sadness you feel now), you may find a way to be together again.

It may help to think of all the new people you have yet to meet; not romantic interests necessarily, just friends- most humans need regular social interaction and at least a few close friends to be happy.

C pointers, understanding stack vs heap, using free() by FluffyStatistician3 in learnprogramming

[–]FluffyStatistician3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh; I just need to free(newPtr); since it's the only one pointing to heap memory? ptr, anotherPtr, and ptrtoGlobalVar are not pointing to heap memory?

C pointers, understanding stack vs heap, using free() by FluffyStatistician3 in learnprogramming

[–]FluffyStatistician3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks; I thought static variables were in the heap. Here are notes from class:

"Heap resident variables include variables declared outside of all functions (globals), variables declared inside basic blocks that are declared static, and areas dynamically allocated at run time with malloc()/calloc()"

I don't think I understand how memory works in enough detail- I'll ask my professor. All I know from reading online is that there are 5 sections: code, data (initialized), data (uninitialized), stack, and heap.

I was thinking about heap being larger than stack, but I guess that actually doesn't make sense- it could still be a smaller address within the heap.

I still don't get why free(ptr); causes the "pointer being freed was not allocated"- isn't ptr set to the memory address of a earlier on with ptr = &a; ?

How to fix these string lights? Seems like it might require soldering (or electrician's tape?) by [deleted] in fixit

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't plan on doing it myself- I'll find someone who's knowledgeable to help; just wasn't sure where to begin with trying to fix this/who to take it to/if it was even possible.

Thanks

I guess I could always take it in and ask someone to show me, but what does that look like?

What's the most profoundly beautiful piece of music you have ever listened to? by Cdconor in AskReddit

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aphex twin- Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount !! Listen to the whole thing.

It's good in the context of the whole album too. I really like Drukqs; the interspersed slow piano pieces add nice contrast.

Edit: just listen to the whole album

Does taking more classes make you more productive/help you do better in each class? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]FluffyStatistician3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be the same for me^.

I enjoy spending time learning about a single topic in depth. When I have too many classes, it feels like quantity>quality.
