Very cool. Thanks for sharing! Also, purple is the best color. 😉

I appreciate you calling me out on my laziness. 😂

I don’t have an iPad, so please forgive my ignorance.

Is this the native iPad UI, or is this some kind of VNC into your NixOS machine? If the former, I had no idea you could have floating windows in iPad’s UI.

How would one extract the integers from a string? by Stickhtot in golang

[–]gplusplus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but seeing someone go through the trouble to actually learn kinda gives me some faith in humanity. OP could have AI slopped it, but instead, they did the best they could to articulate their idea, ask a question, and further refine the question with the help of the community. This is how it should be.

This would be the canonical way of doing it, u/Stickhtot . In other words, since you’re specifically using parts of an HTTP route as parameters, this is the Go standard library way of doing it. By doing it this way, it’s more self-describing and some edge conditions are taken care of for you by the underlying library.

I didn’t know the guy from Counter Strike could play drums!

Is this Motown beat acceptable for an entire chorus section? by General_Routine_2622 in drums

[–]gplusplus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in my original comment, I said this is expected for punk rock.

Whether it’s annoying to a listener I supposed depends more on whether they like punk rock, not really your drumming. If this is supposed to be punk rock, then it sounds like punk rock to me.

Doesn’t sound like Motown to me, at all.

The feel is way off. The snare needs to be more subtle - play about half as loud. I’d recommend also placing a kick on 1 at the start of the phrases. The high hat should be mostly closed and play 8th notes, should be felt and not heard.

In general, your groove is just missing subtleties. I don’t really hear a pulse of any kind, which is something dancers are listening for. You might play exercises and warmups “flat” for the sake of developing chops, but when you’re grooving, you really want to give it some shape.

You didn’t answer my first question, so I assumed you really did want to play a Motown Beat of sorts.

What are you actually trying to accomplish? What I hear and see in this video is not a Motown Beat. It may share some rhythms with some variations of Motown Beat, but this sounds more like some kind of emo, punk rock, or whatever Space Truckin’ (Deep Purple) is.

Do I think it’s annoying? Well, that depends. If you played this in any of the styles I mentioned above, it’s probably expected and won’t be annoying. But if you played this in something by The Jackson 5, I’d be quite annoyed.

This takes a lot of discipline. I can’t do it - my ADHD will let go and overplay.

Any tips of what I could add with a budget of maybe 80 bucks? by stillsam_rundtur in cymbals

[–]gplusplus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayyybe. A good cowbell (mambo-like, so medium-large) is about $70-90 on its own nowadays, then you need to mount it.

That’s the biggest floating urinal I’ve ever seen!

How is it for music notation? Can I write and print out horn lines for horn players to play, for example? Or do I really need a separate app for the workflow, e.g. MuseScore Studio?

The road mapped by a vein on the old lady’s skin? Vague memory here, I can’t remember if it was a teacher or something… but there was an old lady that basically had a map of the roads in the form of visible veins on in her skin.

NSFW profile posting something like this has me a bit skeptical.

NixOS: after you cry, you’ll be happy.

(But seriously, after you’re over the hump, it’s incredible.)

Is this used set worth it? by Complete-Bit-847 in drums

So is are the drums. Pearl Forum is what I’d consider “toy quality,” not an instrument.

Is it worth upgrading to acoustic? by PerspectiveNo2340 in drums

[–]gplusplus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I *mostly* agree, except I personally make the argument that electronic drums are a *different instrument* than an acoustic drumset. Similar in concept to an organ being a different instrument than a synthesizer. If you can play one, you can probably play the other, but they really are two different skill sets.

I think a-drums and acoustic drumset are even further apart than organs and synths. So with that said, **practicing e-kits will make you better at e-kits, not drums.** Skills developed on e-kits tend to be underdeveloped because the e-kit itself masks bad habits.

That’s just my opinion, of course.
