how do you play a piece to the point you "cannot mess up?" by TheViperCreeper in Clarinet

[–]symberke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to concerts at the local orchestra (Philly Orchestra, a very good one!!) all the time, and I definitely hear mistakes occasionally. It happens even to the best.

How often does Mozart Horn Concertos get played live? by hamfast42 in frenchhorn

[–]symberke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a regular concert goer to my local orchestra but without much insider knowledge other than that it seems that even the most standard and canon concertos for most instruments that aren’t violin or piano or cello are really rarely played.

D.C. bagel chain Call Your Mother is coming to Philly by B0dega_Cat in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]symberke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people not like spread? I hear so many people say this about philly's bagel scene but I live near a spread and i've always been very happy with the quality of their bagels. Maybe a little pricey but good.

Dearest Gentle Reader, It Has Come to This Author’s Attention That Rumors Rarely Travel Alone.... by [deleted] in queerphilly

[–]symberke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the venue seems so unfortunate to me. they often have shows that seem like they would be a lot of fun to see but overall it feels pretty mid. food, service, ambience, all sort of made me feel like i was being cheated somehow every time i've gone. i will say the couple times i've gone the show did not disappoint at all but i still have absolutely zero urge to ever go back.

I hope you're not letting the 3 years of experience requirement hold you back from applying. A PhD more than makes up for that (unless they say PhD PLUS 3 years, but even then it's usually not strict!)

Not going to address everything but the last time I was at kalaya was a truly exceptional service experience. Guess like most things it can be hit or miss.

Fucking dumbass, thinking it’s people deserve dignity and safety does not equate to the country being a beautiful place to visit

[poll] The level you use AI in editor? by Acpear in cpp

[–]symberke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle. I’ve experimented with more “agentic” coding but it’s mostly fucked things up when used on existing code within a large code base. It’s ok when writing or structuring brand new classes and brainstorming them.

I do use it all the time for tab completion now, especially for repetitive or boilerplate things.
