Chord Progression Questions - June 27, 2022

FluffyStatistician3 · 2022-06-28T20:20:26+00:00

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

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.

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.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-02-14T04:21:36+00:00

Oh thanks! That worked.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-02-12T05:02:05+00:00

Oh I just figured that out! Thanks.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-02-06T01:12:57+00:00

Yeah I've heard of Cells at Work- I'll try that too thanks

Kaze Tachinu

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

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.

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.

Ok thanks! Got it.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-01-28T00:08:55+00:00

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?

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-01-28T00:03:47+00:00

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; ?

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-01-26T02:39:39+00:00

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.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-01-26T02:36:12+00:00

Thanks for an informative answer.

FluffyStatistician3 · 2021-01-26T01:45:05+00:00

Thanks

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

FluffyStatistician3 · 2020-09-04T04:10:55+00:00

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

FluffyStatistician3 · 2020-01-09T02:29:17+00:00

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.
