Seattle is basically a giant metropolitan region of Washington. There are a ton of good rivers all around that area so it depends where in or around Seattle you'll be. I'm not familiar with the city side of Pudget Sound so I cant point you to anywhere specific, but any of those rivers should be excellent fishing. The PNW is a fly fishing paradise, just make sure you have a good roll cast.

A healthy amount of skepticism is indeed important.

Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise...

Agree, i have rarely seen people who actually use adblock outside my work. I had to practically tie up my entire family, in-laws included to get ublock installed on all their computers.

Geese have a reputation, but i know for a fact if you actually fight back there's not much they could really do.

Just wanted to let you y'all know how tough i am...

They tried that already with the samsung s7 active. It was a pretty rugged phone by itself but people still insisted on putting a case on it. They then complained about the phone being too big and it didn't sell well.

The sqlite file in question is just for initial development testing, it's loss would be but a minor annoyance. Since i first posted this question, I've removed the binary file from git tracking anyways and just keep a plain text dump file. This is for convenience while working between two computers, not actual data backup.

Those cs50 courses are not particularly easy and the problem sets are designed to push you.

You'll always need to quick reference basic things, so don't worry about that, and ChatGPT is great for 'dumb' questions.

As far figuring out how to tackle a problem, remember to break things down into smaller problems and work with those. Each small problem should have it's own function and then test each function on its own to ensure you get the results you want.

Data structures and algorithms are not easy. While cs50 does a great job explaining things, look at other sources too for concepts your having trouble with to get a different perspective. While your doing that, experiment with the concept and play around with it in code.

Thank you!

But is 'leftist' actually a belief system? Left vs Right seems to me to be a political construct applicable to the individual country in question, if it can even be applied at all.

Another words, i guess I don't see the point of assigning "tankies" to left or right.

We've been cutting out dairy in our house to help my wife with breastfeeding, as dairy protein carries into breastmilk and our son is sensitive to it (supposedly i was too as a baby). It's been an interesting experiment to say the least. I've found so far that some variety is needed with the milk substitutes as none of them really seem to be a direct replacement, but rather have strengths and weaknesses with different applications that one would normally use milk for.

Same here. UBlock origin has been the gold standard for so long I'm surprised not everyone uses it.

My in-laws have starlink. It's excellent and a huge improvement from their previous Internet setup. There's no fiber on their side of town for the foreseeable future.

I'm probably going to get flammed for this, so let me just say I'm already a Linux user.

We need to cool our jets here. Windows 12 isn't even confirmed yet, and there's no proof that it will require a subscription. That being said, a subscription service isn't necessarily a bad thing if it will allow users to have access to features they need, or replace other existing subscription services like xbox game pass, cloud storage, media, etc...

I've been seriously considering the same thing. Would love to see about getting a remote setup for a computer.

Just a general reminder for folks to generate content. Don't worry if it doesn't get a lot of attention yet, the fact that it's there will bring people in.

Correct me I'm wrong, but i think in practical sense of real time kernels is that you could have a program take over much of the processing power, limiting your ability to multi task. I believe this raises security and stability concerns for every day use, but is fine for Audio.

Keep in mind you can have multiple kernels installed and just choose which one to boot into. This way you can save the rt kernel for your audio stuff and then switch back into the normal kernel when you're done.

As an anecdote, I use the Scarlet with Guitarix and dont notice any difference between the RT and normal kernel myself. Both have had little latency for me and the RT Kernel seemed stable enough. It's possible you may have something running the background that's holding you up in the normal kernel. Read the Arch Wiki article on performance enhancements for Audio https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Professional_audio

Hmm, not quite that bad but me, but i did notice some weird hangups and switched back to xorg.

General rule for me is at least once at week ( though I've had a laptop go almost six months last year and was fine post update ).

I would also recommend updating prior to installing any new software.
