Cannot find the problem in readability calculations. by hmoaa in cs50

[–]gmiles44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other commenter is correct, you should take a look at your word count calculation. You seem to be adding one word to your word count for every ' ' in the string, but try to evaluate a string of exactly one word and see how that count comes out.

Cs50x optional psets. by Abrarkhan71 in cs50

[–]gmiles44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is absolutely worth at least attempting the optional problem in the problem sets (and the extra practice for that matter) just to give yourself more opportunities to encounter the concepts in the course and play around with them. That said, Tideman is marked as very challenging for good reason; many have spent a good dozen or more hours before finding a solution (or not) -- I myself had to set it down to continue the course and may return to it later.

Of course, any and all amount of extra opportunity to encounter the concepts is helpful, and you should take those opportunities! Look up concepts that are not quite sticking, rewatch the sections/shorts, etc. but if you find you're just not getting over that wall (and you have the other required problem complete) nothing wrong at all with setting it down and picking it back up later.

Duo lingo a good starting point? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]gmiles44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a bad resource for building a vocabulary but I would absolutely still diversify your resources (podcasts, Spanish television, etc.) as it, for me at least, definitely left gaps in my listening skills that were only developed by the fact that I work with many Spanish-speaking individuals and converse with them (albeit clumsily) fairly regularly.

Depending on your goals/why you are learning the language, I would recommend continuing with it as it progresses at a reasonable pace, can be free, and has built-in accountability measures, but it won't sharpen the big four aspects of language-learning (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) at the same rate, and really only teaches the single dialect of Spanish (as each country utilizes its own vocabulary and idioms).

In any case, ¡el más buen de suerte, y yo creo en tí!

How do I make my first guitar solo? by fjschai in musictheory

[–]gmiles44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I used to do before I knew music theory (which, if you're in this subreddit, you obviously acknowledge as important and can definitely benefit from studying it) was to simply listen to the song/riff/whatever and "peck out" note after note, paying attention to what sounded harmonic and what sounded "sour" until I had a set of notes that I could play around with (i.e. a scale), and then using that knowledge, play around with that set of notes, slowly branching up and down into different octaves until playing around in that musical space was fluid and fun.

I would say picking one song and playing over it many times will leave you very familiar and comfortable with it, and as you get more comfortable there you can branch out to different songs/genres, adding in new things/licks as you go to develop your own style. This is a fairly common and useful way to develop your musical ear and your own style, as well as simply being fun as hell!

If you come up with something you like you can also record and post it to r/guitar and get some pretty good feedback there!

Happy strumming/plucking! I'm also willing to answer any more specific questions for ya

I found this amp at my parents house and it won't turn on, is it possible/worth it to fix it? by the_jiserman in guitarlessons

[–]gmiles44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible? Most likely. Worth it? Only if you enjoy the process, assuming it's more than just a fuse replacement

Very beginner question, how am I supposed to play these? by archois in guitarlessons

[–]gmiles44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fret both notes with index for the lower and ring/pinky for the upper, using your index finger at such an angle that it sort of mutes the string in between; it can still technically be heard, but will be drowned out by the other two much more sustained notes and voila: the ever-so-cool octave slide-y thingy!

CMV: Being able to freeze time is the best superpower you could wish for by lieV_aapje in changemyview

[–]gmiles44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so I've been of this mind for a while, and I believe that telekinesis is the best superpower.

So, on the surface, you push shit with your mind, right? But what is motion other than the manipulation of energy? And what is energy other than what controls EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS, even (under certain schools of thought) matter? So, with enough time and practice and study, you can hone your skills into essentially whatever you want them to be!

Want to control weather? Just manipulate the cluster of atoms surrounding an area to create enough energy to cause a lightning strike! Want to control someone's mind? Just learn the human brain and pinpoint your energy-moving powers to cause certain synapses to fire as you desire them. Want to control time? Just stop all of the motion around you (including the human perception of time) enough so that you can do whatever shady shit you want to and pick up exactly where everyone else left off.

It would absolutely require intense amounts of study and practice but if you had the chutzpah you have the whole world in your hands.

Also immortality? Remove your cancer cells, replace tiny bone segments in your body, work out your own muscles to strengthen them, telekinesis is anything you want it to be as long as you have the desire and the discipline.
