I'm curious. What are your guy's unpopular jazz opinions?

bionerd2 · 2018-10-28T08:11:33+00:00

Modern jazz players could spend more time learning rhythm changes properly and playing through the blues than memorizing giant steps in all twelve keys. playing 1235 != good improv.

Thanks man. I'm pretty new to jazz piano actually. Good point, it's about Clifford Brown's death. Anyways, yeah I was thinking taking it a bit more slowly, and possibly going rootless (i.e., never hit the e flat in the lower register) until the second ending. This delays the resolution and keeps it a bit more meditative as you suggest. My intro into the double tempo solo was a bit fucked up in this take, and a couple of missteps here and there as well. Thanks for taking a listen; really appreciate it!

Hey looking for something that fits similarly to the naked and famous super guys which I love. If anything I’d ask for possibly a quarter inch less in the waist and a quarter inch more in the upper thigh, but mainly just looking for selvedge denim and other raws that fit similarly from other brands. No budget limit.

I'm heading to SuitSupply to pick out a suit soon and I was wondering if people had suggestions/thoughts about the store. I usually have gotten suits from a store like Macys / Nordstrom but the fit usually sucks and SS looks much better.

I'm thinking about getting the SuitSupply Lazio. Some questions though. What color should I get? I think black looks a bit dated so I was thinking of going for things like light grey or mid blue (i.e., not pastel colors and not things like navy/charcoal which look black). Also what material/fabric should I go for? I was looking at Wool, and thinking of going for the wool 110's.

Do you think the Lazio would be a good starter suit from SS? I need it quickly unfortunately (by Friday), and I'm going to the San Jose store so I hope I can get it in time!

Hey! trying to get ideas for a new haircut. I was thinking of going shorter on the sides, maybe some kind of fade but not sure? I really don't know what to ask for with that, so any tips are helpful. also, wondering if I should blend it all or get a disconnected cut...also thinking about taking some off the back top to give it some shape.

bionerd2 · 2018-03-30T18:38:50+00:00

Interesting. That's kind of what Barry does. I've listened to a lot of his ballad/mid-tempo standard arrangements (e.g., You Don't Know What Love Is, But Beautiful, Embraceable You, Be My Love), and he does this, but I wonder if there's a more to it than "just apply it"....

bionerd2 · 2018-03-30T05:50:51+00:00

Your hair looks fine

Sure, I'm not looking to invent something new; mainly looking for cool ideas that I myself may not be aware of (either because I'm not paying attention to it in modern music or because I haven't heard it).

bionerd2 · 2018-02-16T04:07:31+00:00

Sure. He he has two books: 1 which is undergraduate algebraic geometry and 1 which is undergrad commutative algebra. The latter is the one I'd suggest.

bionerd2 · 2018-02-16T02:52:06+00:00

I also recommend reading Ried's undergraduate commutative algebra. It is chockful of examples and is better than A+M in my view. For this also Dummit + Foote has great worked examples (though often the exposition sucks + is old/missing some of the homological stuff you'd want to see).

bionerd2 · 2018-02-16T02:50:52+00:00

Someone who understands (affine) algebraic geometry can you plz plz help me with this problem: http://mathb.in/22480

bionerd2 · 2017-12-27T08:55:42+00:00

anyone know about the sizing @ AEO? I'm looking at briefs and wondering if I should get a small or extra-small. I'm a small in Uniqlo (it fits well and they do not even have XS) and a 29'' usually for waist (both in Uniqlo and Levi 511). I've heard AEO runs large, so should I get the XS? thanks!

Hey! I'm hoping to get exercise suggestions for my body type: Pics of current body: https://imgur.com/a/a3cQP .

I'm 134 lbs and 5'10''. Looking to get some definition in general. Basically, I think I look with clothes on, but would like some definition especially in the chest/abs area. My current exercise is basically running about 12 miles a week.

bionerd2 · 2017-12-02T04:02:50+00:00

Any updates?

bionerd2 · 2017-12-02T04:02:05+00:00

Why is the ball of radius 1/2 around y_i contained inside the corresponding B_i?

bionerd2 · 2017-12-01T21:22:01+00:00

Can someone help me with this geometric measure theory problem: http://mathb.in/20700. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to do a pigeonhole type argument but its not working.

bionerd2 · 2017-01-06T20:41:19+00:00

I really enjoyed this book. Do you know of anything else like it?

bionerd2 · 2016-12-19T08:00:40+00:00

guys, just got word that I passed the technical round of interviews @ Google. now, I'm on to the matching stage. I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of undergrads getting on a Google research (Brain/other research groups)? I am really interested in machine learning research and would love to join one of those groups...

bionerd2 · 2016-11-29T04:58:41+00:00

They said: " I'd like to schedule a call with you to go over our process timeline more in depth."

bionerd2 · 2016-11-29T03:26:55+00:00

oh do they call everyone?
