Learn how to split strings and get the first element in R using base R, stringi, and stringr. Check out my latest post for examples and tips. Give it a try and share your experiences!
Learn how to handle rows in R containing specific strings using base R's grep() and dplyr's filter() with str_detect(). Select or drop rows efficiently and enhance your data manipulation skills. Give it a try with your datasets for better data cleaning and organization.
Does anyone know of a decent #cello or #violin#midi#controller? So far I have only found so-called silent cellos/violins with built-in, synthesized and amplified sound engines. But I'd really be more interested in a pure #strings MIDI controller. The same goes for the #flute. If there's something well-built and reliable in that area, I'd be interested as well. 🤓️
Miss Admiral Gordon’s Strathspey (William Marshall ) is a 250 yr. old strathspey dance tune. Named for the Strathspey region of Scotland, the strathspey dance is a popular form of country dance, usually in 4/4 time and slower than a reel or jig. It is characterized by the use of the “Scots Snap" rhythm — a sixteenth note followed by a dotted eighth note, or in reverse order.
#C#developers: How many times have you struggled with #char_arrays because of memory leaks caused by #scanf, or by of your information being incomplete because you didn't choose the right buffer size on #fgets?
Recently I made this header file called #NSSTRING.H, which mimics the functionality of the #Strings from high-level programming languages. It's easy to use, memory-safe, doesn't need a buffer size, and especially, it's free software!
@roberto Does anyone have a real concrete example of Levenshtein being useful in the wild? I used it once to do a 404 page suggestion system, but other methods ended up being much faster and smarter.
@magitism of course, thank you for your reply.
I used it in a command-line tool to find a misspelled option. Generally, it's handy when you have a list and need to pinpoint the closest match to a given input. Fixing a misspelled path against a list of valid paths is another practical use. It's also useful when comparing simplified DNA sequences or finding similar sequences in a series of game steps. While a basic similarity function, it may not be the most effective in all contexts.
@ambergrey It depends on what kind of guitar you're planning on. One thing you'll need for guitars is a fret saw and mitre. I've only been working on electric guitars, and my setup looks like this:
Jig saw
Table saw
Router
Drill press
Wood lathe
Orbital sander
Hand planes
Foredom flex shaft
3d printer for pickups
Soldering iron
The main thing I'm missing for acoustic guitars and violins is a good set of chisels. And talent. :)
