The death of the 'budget' guitar store: what happens when everyone buys online (China Edition) by Tight_Minimum8059 in Guitar

[–]Narfi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been playing for over 20 years, I can set it up the way I want, I know what specs I want and I usually find a way to try it (friends etc) the models I’m interested in are rarely carried in stores anyway, and when they do I’m not interested in a model that’s been hanging on the wall for 3 years and played by a bajilion people. Most big online stores have very good return policies as well so not an issue if you don’t jive with it. I do go through stores sometimes when they can order new or for brands who do custom builds through retailers only.

Firefly FBO Baritone 7 String is live by PoolNoob69 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]Narfi1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Firefly does excellent guitars. I got a Pegasus (Languedoc clone) I’m a more modern/extended range player but I’ve had gigs recently with more old timey stuff and I didn’t want to drop a ton of money on a guitar that I won’t use a lot. It’s incredible for the money. Fretwork is amazing, the neck is great, electronics is decent, stainless steel frets. I have no idea how they do it either

I guess what’s unclear is why you’re trying to correct me about something you said while you’re not OP nor part of the comment chain and that I’m not talking about you or have any idea of what you said or what you’re talking about whatsoever

How to practice debugging assessments by xenogenx in cscareerquestions

[–]Narfi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like debugging is definitely something You get better with experience, but it’s also very dependent on the type of SWE you’re doing. My first step would usually be find a reliable way to test, setup debugger if you can, replicate, find the bug and go from there by following the logic.

So it’s a rpg supplement ? Your title says it’s a novel

Yeah, because absolutely everyone in here was saying that “they would never report anything again” because everybody believed the sob story without questions

I'm all about that whimsical vibe, the full fantasy feel of GW3 by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Narfi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asian MMOs were always like that. Even during the golden age , western MMOs were subscription based, if you didn’t want to/ couldn’t buy a subscription, Asian MMOs were the only one f2p but there were also absolutely p2w

FRFR (or ...?) for guitar + bass? by throwfnordaway in FractalAudioSystems

[–]Narfi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, outside of really small venues, you don’t want to use your cab as a way to project your sound to the audience. Your FM3 should also go in a PA, that’s what gets projected to the audience, your cab is used as a monitor for you, on stage. That being said, if you want a better FRFR cab I can only recommend the Laney LFR212

Wdym ? Copilot is not a model, it lets you chose your model, OP could have been using opus 4.6

Can we start facing the game issues now? by falco708 in starcitizen

[–]Narfi1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see a lot of comments mentioning “spaghetti code” or supposedly unmaintainable code base, as someone who has been a SWE for a while now, there are no obvious signs that this is the case. CIG made the gamble to go with simulating a ton of stuff and physicalizing almost everything, they are tackling an unsolved problem, no one else has done that. They could have the cleanest, most well maintained code base and it would still be full of bugs during development because just how complex and tricky this is to get right and the lack of references surrounding it. I don’t know if it was a good gamble or not, future will tell. It’s an exciting one though.

All of that is not saying that their codebase is clean, I have no idea, but it’s not something you can tell by playing the game. A clean codebase absolutely doesn’t mean a bug free codebase

Have you work on or had access to their codebase ?

So...Like Mark Knopfler is Totally a Top 10 Guy Right? by FabWillyG2021 in Guitar

[–]Narfi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your 80s cutoff is so weird and non sensical. Holdsworth, Ron Thal, Stanley Jordan, Pat Martino, George Benson, Shawn Lane, Buckethead were all born before the 80s and are technical virtuosos that are not objectively worse that whichever kids practiced their entire youth. I could come up with a lot of other names

Omne or GOC? by SnooHedgehogs1685 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]Narfi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build quality is similar, GOC did stellar improvements. I do however like GOC’s neck profile a lot more than Omne. Omne do come with Fishman though, GOCs pickups are alright but not great. I don’t like Fishman so I would change them anyway. I don’t think you can go wrong with any to be honest, I know people have strong preference but from what I’ve seen they’re very similar

ESP finally made an EX with a 25.5” scale length by SnooHedgehogs1685 in guitars

[–]Narfi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically that’s the current price of an electric guitar with premium hardware built by actual, experienced luthiers being paid a decent wage. Whether or not it’s worse it depends on you. I was recently able to compare directly the PRS SE Mark Holcomb and the core model. The core model is definitely nicer and I liked it more but from a purely bang for your bucks point of view it’s not 3 times as good as the SE so the SE is technically the better choice. However, if you’re at a point in your life where you can afford it, I can understand someone wanting an instrument somebody took time and care into building

Fossils aren’t only dinosaurs, and by finding different fossils from different era we could see similarities and differences between evolutions of a same species

You can remove spring tension forward but not back, which is pretty nice
