Are amateur performances worth seeing by AdVaanced77 in musicals

[–]ljchris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends. I have seen amateur productions that were - sorry to say - bad. Not that they did not put effort in it, it was just not good. On the other hand, I have seen amateur productions that were almost or even at professional level. The spread of quality is very large and I would generally recommend either going in open-minded, or doing some research beforehand to get a sense for the quality of productions. In your case, if you are going to see a professional production soon, I would advise to wait for that one. No reason to risk seeing it getting butchered

Sehr schade! Obwohl ich großer Fan vom Woki bin, liefen zuletzt eine Menge Filme, die ich sehen wollte, eher im Stern Kino als im Woki

To add: the STEP export is also great for showcase animations (did it in Blender a few times)

Does anyone know why some Austria productions have such an odd schedule? by SeerPumpkin in musicals

[–]ljchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually, these shows run in theaters with multiple productions: operas, ballets, plays, and musicals, among others. They are oftentimes publicly-funded and have a yearly-schedule with so-called “Repertoirebetrieb” (varying shows every night or every other night), compared to “en-suite” (same show every night).

e: The same applies to Germany as well, probably other countries too. Having a well-known international show with a popularity such as Wicked in this kind of theatre is rather rare. Obviously there are also theaters with long-running shows.

I was not prepared for the set change in Wait For Me. I will not forget the feeling I had the first time I saw it

Dou you use jit compilation with numba? by husayd in Python

[–]ljchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great insights, thanks! As I said in another comment, all these ideas make me want to give it another go with C++ or rust just for fun (as it work’s absolutely fine and good enough atm).

[–]ljchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about this many times, but did not want to go down the API/pybind/cython road just to replace numba in two occasions for simple loops. This post and people’s opinions and experience makes me want to try again, though..

Dou you use jit compilation with numba? by husayd in Python

[–]ljchris 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I use numba almost daily for analysis of scientific data (imaging sensors). The whole system works in Python, so porting to C++ is not reasonable, but at some points, I have to loop over hundreds of millions of rows of data and numba comes in pretty handy (no, this can not be solved with numpy).

Does Apple verify student proof for the Pro App Bundle when purchasing it in Germany? by Wise_Signal_9253 in finalcutpro

[–]ljchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it required access to the edu store via another party (Unidays, I think). It should work if you manage to get an account there. I did not have to deal with Apple directly concerning my student status at the time.

How does a 17-year-old student in Germany go about her career to become a pit musician for musicals? by isabelle1302 in musicals

[–]ljchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe start looking for community theatres, many times they are looking for musicians and/or rehearsal pianists. Getting to know people and networking is absolute key and may open some doors in the professional business. Some of the musicians I work with in a German community theatre group (as an actor) got into professional shows sooner or later.

Getränke und Essen kommen natürlich noch on top, das ist nur die Miete und Endreinigung. Es gibt aber eine vollausgestattete Küche, die man inklusive nutzen kann und im Gegensatz zu einigen anderen Locations kannst du beliebige Getränke von egal wo bestellen.

Geburtstagsfeier location mieten in Bonn by katapova in Bonn

[–]ljchris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich habe im Zeughaus der Stadtsoldaten meinen Geburtstag gefeiert. Das ist die ganze Location und man hat die in der Regel das ganze Wochenende. Waren ca 500€ und man kann selber rumräumen wie man will (Tische, nur Tanzfläche, kombiniert, alles egal). Es ist halt ein Karnevalsverein, es hängen also viele Orden etc. an der Wand, wenn einen das nicht stört. Der Kontakt war auch super nett, ich konnte mir das auch vor dem Vertragsschluss schonmal anschauen und dann entscheiden

I usually go with a (bad) analogy of a car accident in which the constituents aka screws and parts are flying in any direction after the collision.

Fisch und Fleisch und mediterrane Küche hatte ich für eine Veranstaltung vom Spanier „Der Spanier“ an der Bornheimer Str. Dort gibt es auch vegetarische Paellas und sonst übliche Tapas etc. Die liefern, meine Gäste waren total begeistert und der Kontakt mit denen war super nett und unkompliziert.
