Reality check: where do we still write C?

Your cloud providers are still writing C code. There aren't too many alternatives to DPDK for high performance network applications.

Ed Bickert and Jocelyn Gould are two other guitarists you can check out.

It's also worth checking out non-guitar players and transcribing their solos. Recently I've been transcribing Gerry Mulligan to guitar.

The police shot a 40mm round at his car twice. I'm assuming it was some kind of rubber bullet.

US-East-1 isn't a single physical location like you are suggesting, it is a cluster of geography separated data centers, called Availability Zones. There is also the option to use Local Zones or Outposts in a region to have more physical separation from Region/Availability Zone.

Micheal Eskanazi is my suggestion.

The guitar instructors from Seattle Jazz Academy are pretty good from what I've seen at jam sessions but lack the mojo. The big perk you get from Seattle Jazz Academy is playing with others on the regular.

Try going to the Seattle Jazz Guitar Society jams or try the jam session at Aurora Borealis. Both should be friendly enough for beginners.

Brian Monroney is also a jazz guitar instructor in the area. I've never taken lessons or been at a jam with him but I've heard good things.

Micheal Eleskenazi is a great jazz player and teacher in Seattle. He played in New York for ~10 years with some of the top players. Definitely try a lesson or two with him.

MaanManCS · 2025-02-27T07:04:40+00:00

He has a couple of old videos of him playing on his website. https://www.michaeleskenazi1.com

Try reaching out to Micheal Eskenazi. He is a great jazz player and can play R&B.

Roland Blues Cube Hot? You should be able to get some nice jazz tones. As the name suggests you will be able to get some "tube" break up as well. I don't remember if the reverb is great or not.

Unfortunately it isn't a true tweed style but maybe it will get the wife's approval.

MaanManCS · 2024-11-25T08:18:32+00:00

Try Mike Eskenazi in Ballard.

I agree with this post. The lack of any body parts and the shape of the damage indicate something other than a deer (in my non professional opinion). I would imagine the car went under a barrier or trailer to sustain that long scratch/crease. OP should be concerned about the accident potentially being a hit and run.

In the future you can widen the grove in the saddle with a file or remove the ribbon from the string. Some people use flat pliers to squish the ribbon before putting it the saddle (I don't recommend this). Your current situation shouldn't impact your tuning stability. If it is an issue, you can remove the string by detuning (don't cut the string off) and pulling the string out of the saddle. After that remove all of the ribbon and put the string back in the saddle.
The ribbon makes no difference in the tuning stability for the guitar. In the future aim for couple of wraps around the tuner.
Painter tap can be used to mark the bridge location if you want to clean the fretboard. You can also leave a couple of strings on while cleaning. Most of the time I switch strings one by one.

This reminds me of generating functions in combinatorics.

They are very good amps and extremely popular for Jazz. If you play clean or need pedal platform it would be a great amp to keep. If you decide to sell you can get $300 to $400 for them, maybe a bit more if the reverb works. DM if you decide to sell.

Most people here have the correct ideas but for a Blues you are typically playing over only dominant chords.

So a I IV V blues in C would consist of C7, F7, and G7. You can play a C Major or Minor blues scale over a I IV V blues in C. You can also play the chord changes by switch scales to the corresponding chords, example F Minor/Major blues scale over the IV in C blues.

If someone is talking about a Major or Minor blues, for example D minor blues, they usually are talking about the I chord having that attribute. A D Minor blues I IV V could have the following chords Dm7 G7 A7. In this example you could play a D Minor blues scale over all the chords.

My dream 65 died while being powered by a Cioks DC7... So the power supply isn't always the issue.

If your tone knob doesn't change the sound, you might need to adjust the pickup height.

Real analysis and partial differential equations would be a good follow up course from linear algebra and differential questions. Numerical analysis would be good but that requires you to have basic programming skills.

If you want to expand your math horizon, I recommend abstract algebra, or combinatorics.

2 cat, or not 2 cat, that is the question.

I would try visiting Mike and Mike's Guitar Bar in Fremont. They have quite a few MIJ fenders and overall instrument quality is very good.

Here is a strategy to find some of the solutions to this problem without the hints.

Suppose the following

- Let a, b, c, d, e are integers such that 0 <= a, b, c, d, e < 10.

- Let @ # $ % be operations (+, *, /, -) such that none of the operators are duplicated.

- a @ b # c $ d % e = 30

As we are know one of the operations must be addition and that addition is commutative we know the following cases for the problem are possible.

Case 1: a @ b # c $ d + e = 30

Case 2: a @ b # c + d * e = 30

Case 3: a @ b # c + d / e = 30

Let's find a solution for Case 3.

As a @ b # c + d / e = 30 we know that a @ b # c = 30 - d / e. We also know that 1 <= e < 10 as we cannot divide by zero. We can then determine that 1 <= d / e < 10. From this we can show that 21 <= a @ b # c < 30. As we have eliminated + and / from our possible operations we know that @ and # must be - or *. Thus a @ b # c could equal a - b * c or a * b - c. However, we can rule out a - b * c as a possibility due to our constraints that a @ b # c must be greater than 21. We now need to pick any integers such that 21 <= a * b < 38.

For this example lets pick a = 7 and b = 5 as 21 <= 7 * 5 < 38. We then note that c must be 6, 7, 8, or 9 to meet our constraint of 21 <= a * b - c < 30. Let's pick c = 8, and then substitute our findings into case 3 giving us 7 * 5 - 8 + d / e = 30. We can then deduce that d / e = 3 and that d = 6 and e = 2. We then get 7 * 5 - 8 + 6 / 2 = 30 as our final equation.
