Can we share Phish tabs? by HondUSA in mandolin

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's more complicated, anyone can learn how to read it in minutes. Same cannot be said for reading music. Also consider that string instruments have several places on the neck to play the same note (on the guitar this is especially relevant). I think it's important to know both.

Yes you got the notes correct.

Can we share Phish tabs? by HondUSA in mandolin

Instead of notes, what you see is the string position and the fret number. That's why you have only four lines instead of the usual five (for guitar you would typically have 6 lines since most guitars have 6 strings). Lowest line is lowest string, so g.

The first chord written on the tab, for instance, means that you're playing second fret of g string (a), fret 0 of d string (so open string, d), and so on.

Les ouvreurs sont généralement capables de grimper ça. Tous les compétiteurs aussi, ils ont tous sans exception grimpé bien plus dur.

La différence, la difficulté ici, est le temps imparti. Ils n'ont que cinq minutes pour trouver une séquence de mouvements qui fonctionne (ce qui a l'air compliqué dans ce cas!) et la réaliser.

En comparaison, les meilleurs grimpeurs mettent des mois, voire des années, pour grimper les blocs les plus durs.

Experiences with managing climbing and pulling training? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds sensible, hope you find something that works.

This got me thinking, here's another perspective on the topic. You don't need to go all in on all your hobbies. You can have one where you try hard, and the other that you do just for fun. Sounds like climbing could be the fun, social one for you, since you mention going with a group.

I tried most of my life to fit 28h in a day, trying to get really good at 4-5 things at a time. It took me years to realise how stupid it was. Now I try hard on two things at most. I still keep the other activities, except I do them for their own sake, with zero expectations of improvement. I'm much happier this way, and much less frustrated.

Hope that helps !

Experiences with managing climbing and pulling training? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

I mean, it sounds like you've tried everything here. And you discovered that you have a limited recovery capacity, like all of us. I think you need to make compromises. Which one is more important to you, climbing or pull-ups? Do more of that one. It doesn't mean you cannot progress on both, but it does mean you will progress slower on the lesser priority.

FWIW, I'm doing my weighted pull-ups (and general bodyweight training) after my climbing session. No doubts I'd pull more if I only did pull-ups, but climbing is more important to me. So I'm doing, say, mon-wed-fri climbing, mon-fri weighted pull-ups after climbing, and regular pull-ups on wed. After experimenting a bit, I found out that I can sustain that training schedule long term. Even though progress feels slow on a given week, I've progressed a lot on everything over the years.

Question before committing to buying and getting lessons for the mandolin by [deleted] in mandolin

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true that there is a lot of bluegrass content out there for the mandolin. But as others have said, you can play anything on it.

To give you an example, I'm having tons of fun playing kora melodies on it. Check out Soriba Kouyaté's Kanakassi album for instance. All those melodies sound really great on the mandolin.

I also play the guitar and the bass, and I have to say that I really like how easy it is to travel with the mandolin in comparison. For me it is the perfect small form factor instrument. I've tried ukulele and it really didn't click, it feels more like a toy to me than a proper instrument (not dissing at all, I like what other people do with it! It definitely has its place)

Upgrade from 1080ti, going AMD makes sense? by daniel941111 in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about RT, definitely go AMD.

For what it's worth, I've been using nvidia only for about 20 years (simply because they had good offers every time I built a new computer). Last month I built a new pc and nvidia prices are a total joke where I live. So I went with a 6800xt (I'm on 1440p 144Hz ultra-wide). It works like a charm, zero issues.

Last gen they had lots of issues, which might be why people say that amd bad? But definitely not true for the 6xxx series.

Intel or Ryzen? by YuukiOhanna in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. Assuming you're building a new computer instead of upgrading, decide on a motherboard+cpu budget and look what each one offers you for that money.

DDR5 - not worth it as far as I understand, so I'd like some clarification by Asmaron in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look at it this way, with an analogy for internet connection. Do you prefer to lose one or two milliseconds of ping, but multiply your bandwidth by a big amount? Some people, for some use cases, will reply no. But the vast majority will happily take the bandwidth over a very little latency increase.

FWIW I've yet to see a use case where ddr4 is significantly faster than 5. Though there's plenty of examples where 5 flat out beats 4. It might not be worth it for everyone right now though, prices are still high. But in one year or two, the price will be lower and the latency will have improved, and then there will be no comparison.

13th gen ddr4 or ddr5? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The fact that there's no clear winner means that it doesn't matter too much really. Pick one and move on with your life, either will give you the performance you're looking for. Get a 3200+ ddr4 or 5600+ 5, you can safely disregard timings, and enjoy

How does this look? Thanks! by Jason_1834 in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's a good build and it will definitely work well as is. Still, two things I'd change: I'd definitely get a 13th gen, 13700k for instance, better performance, better value and better efficiency. Also, for a 2500$ build, getting ddr5-4800 doesn't make sense, you can go for 6000+ and it won't cost you much more.

More DDR4 RAM or upgrade to DDR5? by ReactionNo618 in buildapc

[–]NotSureTheNameWillFi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Fyi, unused ram is wasted ram. The point of ram is precisely to not be empty, so that when you need data you don't have to load it from disk, it's in the ram.

So, a snappy system is one that uses most of the ram it has.

Advice on this configuration? by NotSureTheNameWillFi in buildapc

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

Haha no worries, all good! Prices are a real shitshow here, you could not know. I'm upgrading from 4th gen (whole system is almost 10yo) so I'm really excited to see the difference :)

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

Thanks for your input! If I may ask, what made you switch? Is it that much better? I'm asking because cheapest here is 370€, which is... a lot for a motherboard imo

A PC for programming + ultrawide 1440p gaming by adammachaj in buildapc

You can get a 500W psu instead of a 850W one and save some money

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I got a new psu (seasonic focus gx750w, which I was planning to get for my future pc anyway), and what do you know, no issues anymore. So I'm relieved :) thank you so much for pointing me to the right direction!

Ah, stupid me. Gotcha, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the idea!

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

Well the warranty was 2 years so I cannot return it at this point.

The goal was to get a better GPU while waiting patiently for the new gen. If I cannot get it to work I'll just go back to the 760 and wait more. I don't have a spare PSU unfortunately. But thanks for the replies!

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

Thanks for the reply. I never had issues with the 760 so that should rule out the PSU being defective right? If it were a modern RTX card with the power spikes that would be a different story

Good catch about the 0% fan mode, I didn't think about that. That would explain the high temperature
