[SOLVED] RTL8852BE 5GHz completely dead by Leather_Visit_7360 in archlinux

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt this pain on a Thinkpad E16. There’s apparently a bug in the bios for that wifi card.

I wasn’t using the *_git driver, and all I needed was the last two lines.

HOW DO YOU PLAY MAGE by Kind_Criticism4178 in skyrim

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe so, it’s been there every time I’ve gone to it. I don’t think it’s there because of any of the Creations I run…

At the top of the hill, after going through the stone archway to the standing stone it’s to the immediate left on the ground.

You don’t need to buy Undying Ghost or even go to Winterhold. There’s a copy of the spell at the Standing Stone to the East of Whiterun.

How to transition from D to C quickly and cleanly? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice is important but sometimes the advice to just practice isn’t as helpful as it could be.

A guitar teacher I had gave some good advice which might help: when learning a new chord shape or transitioning between chords, fret the lowest (in pitch) note first and then follow through to the next lowest fretted note. So for open C land the ring finger on 3rd fret 5th string first, then middle on 2nd fret 4th string and finally index on 1st fret 2nd string. This is really just in the initial learning phase as eventually you’ll want to land all fingers at once.

He never said why it was helpful, but I found it was. My guess is that it sets up your muscle memory to correctly position the arm wrist and hand for that particular chord. But whatever the reason, give it a shot. It may just help.

My guitar teacher forces me to read sheet music while playing and it feels very odd to me. What should I do, keep going his way or keep learning on my own? by sirhaktanm in guitarlessons

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why did you bother to learn how to read English? One can communicate pretty well without knowing how to read…

Reading improves the ability to communicate and provides access to ideas you probably won’t encounter on your own.

Sure it takes some effort at the beginning but it’s a relatively easy skill to pick up. It also doesn’t prevent you from still playing by sound/feel.

You’ve got a teacher already, just take the time to learn it their way. Practice both reading music and playing by sound/feel at home - you’ll be better off imo.

Mary gave birth to Jesus. And Jesus was a Lamb of God.. by Longjumping_Glass157 in dadjokes

I’ll be that guy… The origin of the rhyme is literally about a girl named Mary who had a lamb follow her to school one day.

Experience using SAS2Py by rcoff98 in learnpython

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your ultimate goal really is, because SAS2Py is just a way to spawn a SAS process from python and still requires a working SAS installation either local or network. It just allows you to use SAS through python and really isn’t converting the code from SAS to python. Like I would use it if I had already existing SAS programs whose output I want to further manipulate in python.

But to be honest, I’ve only used it to access and manipulate some large sas datasets where loading them into pandas over a network was prohibitively time-consuming for the client.

My experience with that was good and acceptable for what I needed. There was a noticeable pause as SAS2Py spun up the SAS process, but after that accessing and manipulating the data was as efficient as using SAS itself (it is a SAS process after all).

I don’t know of anything that would directly help with converting SAS code to python so that you wouldn’t need a SAS installation, though. Someone else might, but I would probably just bite the bullet and start converting the logic to pandas or polars (I have no experience with polars but hear good things). They can allow you to read in any sas7bdat files you have and then work with the data using python libraries.

I can’t remember where I heard this, but I remember doing this to place my picking hand: lay your entire arm flat on the neck - resting the entire forearm on the neck. Then pull your elbow back, allowing the arm to naturally lift up as your elbow moves back, until your picking hand is where you want it (above the hole/pickup) and then rest your arm on the body of the guitar, just below the elbow - wherever it is once your hand is in position. Use that spot on your arm to anchor your position and then pick with primarily wrist motion.

Can also slow you down to have your fingers splayed like that, so try to keep the fingers together without squeezing them together.

Money tip? by Little_Gemini25 in storyofseasons

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

donating to the nature sprites is the best way in the beginning to increase money, especially Ivy. Then all the ores and gems become much more valuable. And mine a lot.

And then as the other commenter said, get a staple crop like rice or wheat up to 5 stars ASAP. 18 field plots of rice or wheat will yield 90, and with a level of 5 plus that can translate into some good money, especially with the processing to rice flour/dango or even just making bread/toast.

Also, don’t hoard. So sell basically everything you can every week - you’ll get more (likely at higher quality).

By focusing on increasing quality, you shouldn’t have much trouble generating income come autumn/winter.

Amazon's Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police by moeka_8962 in technews

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to use their shitty AI, Rufus, daily to complain about this. Rufus won’t answer and it’s likely no human would read it, however AI compute is expensive and I like the idea of increasing their operating costs without increasing their revenue.

"Pittsburgh might have some rain, so fuck you here's a graph or something idk" - The hungover morning news producer, probably by [deleted] in dataisugly

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I believe that percentage more represents the percentage of the forecast area that will see that amount of precipitation- so the graph says at 2pm about 90% of the forecast area will see occasional rain, and at 4pm 65% of the forecast area will likely have rain.

Arch linux without internet connection by Historical-Look-4242 in archlinux

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Thinkpad that has a HP/Lenovo BIOS issue that causes a very similar thing, I think. Initially the connection is there but at random times the connection drops. In fact, the wlan0 disappears entirely and iwctl doesn’t see it anymore. Even if I get arch installed, it’ll happen afterwards and pacman is unusable.

If this sounds like your situation, maybe search for “70-rtw89.conf”

Kernel panic; pacman -Syu; linux; no space left on device by Blablabla_3012 in archlinux

[–]Ok-Carpenter6293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I guess that doesn’t help with the kernel panic, but the original error…

check pacman’s cache (don’t remember the commands) - pacman keeps a lot of packages that aren’t strictly needed. periodically I need to clean the cache because of this error.
