#262Getting back into regular guitar practice (mostly classical). Also trying to broaden my musical horizons a bit: playing around with some virtual synths and my analog synth. I'm currently shopping for a hollow body or solid body electric guitar and amp, since I want to start getting into blues guitar. Hoping that I can meld some of the music production/synth stuff with guitar practice by laying down some backing synth+beat tracks and recording some guitar licks on top, hoping my little preamp buffer sounds okay.
I'm also starting a Coursera course in audio signal processing. Lets me scratch the technical itch a bit while not distracting from music. My goal for later this year is to build a guitar pedal or 2 from scratch.

#263I'm learning how to keep my employees interested. We are a small IT consultancy, 20 years books and always had three months loot in the bank just in case. I could never have predicted this thing but I've always wanted to sleep at night so insisted on a war chest. Damn I'm boring but as it turns out boring is quite handy now. We have furloughed (UK) a few troops. We top up the extra 20%. The calls on the helpdesk are…
Do you think now would be a good time to explore ideas for productizing any aspects of your business?

#264I have been purchasing iOS app templates written in modern Swift with Firebase backend. Reading through the source code and customizing it for a fun project. Since I am already proficient in backend stuff with Google Cloud this lets me quickly learn various things involved in app development.

Just ordered my first guitar and audio interface yesterday. Any tips for really starting from 0? I will be looking for some online courses, but there’s so much information online that it is hard for me to find out which is good for absolute beginners and which is not.

#267Model Thinking, from coursera. A funny coincidence; last week I reached the... SIS epidemiology model! Rarely so relevant. It's quite interesting. Two of the things that fascinated me most so far are emergent properties (such as in cellular automata models), and what he calls the models' "fertility". As an example, with a few adjustments (ie the "recovery rate" becomes a "churn rate", etc) the SIS model could be adap…
I'm reading the 'Model Thinker'. That's a great course.

As a beginner, I really like Justin Guitar (https://www.justinguitar.com/site-map-and-lesson-structure). But I'd love to know what other great resources are out there!

Never heard of LeetCode. Is it one of these fad languages? What companies are looking to hire people who are exprets with 10 years experience with this language?
Oooh! Downvotes instead of answers. That is extremely helpful, thanks. So all the posts here about this BS are shills working for some marketing company pushing their shit. It's not anything real since today is the first time it's been mentioned here. Typical marketing Yale imbecile tactic is use robot army downvotes to make people who ask WTF is this seem like they are out of the loop. Reality is LeetCode is absolut…
I'm sure you're suffering in your world over there and I hope you're okay.
