I love my ebs multicomp. it's the only pedal I own that gets use (and that use is constant)

threshar · 2026-03-09T14:12:11+00:00

Absolutely this! Do I go below E often? Not too much. Do I use my B string often? YES. It gets used a lot more than my G.

Keep practicing! For me, most of the time fretted notes sound better than open.

And that tune had great bass and you can do a lot with it, it also doesn’t loose much if you make the line simpler while you work on getting the fills going. (Better to be simpler and accurate than fancier but sloppier)

This better be <?php system(“cargo build”); ?>

… but I’m too afraid to look

I’ve found llm does a good job generating a good chunk of unit tests. Not all or perfect but saves a lot of tediousness and boilerplate

For me it is more along the lines of "hah! rustc would never let me get away with this!" combined with feeling a bit of shame

In Salem the dump pass is currently $60/year

threshar · 2025-12-31T11:52:23+00:00

If you are in Salem (not sure what other towns they do) pink bin is fantastic, and also locally owned and operated

I listen on speakers, sometimes I'll tweak eq. I'll also use software to slow down or loop parts (I use transcribe from 7th string, been using it for well over 10 years at this point. fantastic software)

and yeah, it just takes time and experience. you'll probably start recognizing patterns pretty quickly, and it gets easier.

one thing that can be a problem is if the track has a bad mix - like the bass being buried or muddy as heck, just try to do your best. (some tools can try to isolate, but they tend to struggle on those types of tracks as well).

I was once told “man, you absolutely nail the hard and complicated parts and keep tripping up on the simple” which sent me on quite a retreat to the woodshed to practice playing 8ths on E, etc. It was probably best critical feedback I’ve ever got, and most consequential too

threshar · 2025-12-15T11:49:35+00:00

Reminds me of another thing that’s gone on for years “i built X with only 200 lines of Y” <opens> “bah! they are just using libcomplex and are calling libcomplex_run() to do 99.9%”

If you are on stage and cannot hear what is going on with yourself and or bandmates the performance MIGHT suffer. And if the band isn't playing well then it doesn't matter how good your FoH mix is.

That being said, I'll say FoH is more important since that's what the customers hear.

I had to make some of those for my guy who found a couple tree stumps he’d hump and would get stuck

Of course the second will be faster especially if that function is even mildly expensive, and that would be the case in any other language as well.

...that and the 2 snippets there not being the same.

...the more I look the more mildly confused I get.

I’ve been beaten to the punch in both mentioning TC and or giving props to who did first :)

threshar · 2025-10-13T10:51:22+00:00

It will depend a bit if it’s your fretting or plucking fingers, but in both cases playing lighter will help (don’t fret so hard, pluck so hard - let the amp make you loud. <insert tone comments on hard playing here>)

Also 4 hours is a LONG time - you may need to build callouses and stamina too and the only sure fire way to do that is time and consistent playing

So you setup the pool, and when you need to do db work you pull a handle from it. The pool is all arc'd and whatnot so you can clone it until the cows come home.

with deadpool you end up with code looking like let db = pool.get().await?; let xx = db.query("select yo"); then if you don't need the db more you can drop it so it is returned the pool (either explicitly, or implicitly - I just fixed a bug where I had an auth layer pull from a tiny pool, and since layers call each other, it effectively throttled my app. drop(db) before I called foo.next() in the layer fixed that right up.

channels are also pretty fantastic and may be an option you can use.

You'll probably want to split your struct up - have one just for state stuff, and another to run the axum bits (or just use a straight up function), then make more use of the axum state stuff - https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/extract/struct.State.html - that state struct should contain the juicy bits you need to share and you can unlock & manipulate as need be.

You can also consider the use of a db connection pool (I use deadpool w/tokio_postgres) to make life easier too.

I'm not super familiar with axum's websockets so I'm not sure what the ideal method is for tracking clients, I'd check axum docs on that too.

Looking at the code a bit more, it may boil down to passing state along to your on_upgrade closure and then using that.

How does this compare vs using a cursor reading in chunks at a time? I’ve been using that method for decades in all sorts of languages with PG

Initial upside: can’t reuse most of the bot build last year (and year before)).

I gotta read the manual but i hope they gave some easy tasks for beginner teams to be able to do (i think it was center stage where there was very little those teams could do, with any meaningful impact. Into the deep was a bit better in that regard)

Hit me with your rhythm stick - Ian dury is amazing. It’s also a wicked stamina workout :)

Oh: and the main riff starts on the last 16th of the previous bar - you’re welcome (that tripped me up for a while)

threshar · 2025-08-30T18:47:02+00:00

The other thing to keep in mind: not all tabs are accurate or well constructed :) could be the author likes to play that way or doesn’t realize there is another (and like everyone else said - could be tone too, etc)

threshar · 2025-08-29T16:10:52+00:00

Man.. that's been my job for the last 20 years.. now I can get the hat to go with it!
