Very systematic breakdown of flatfooting, Ira Bernstein style. Works up to the four sound walking step towards the end.

From this Ira Bernstein youtube channel

And here's a performance with Riley Baugus.

 

nice version of Clyde Davenport's puncheon camps

 

Keep the rhythm going while you flip your banjo all over the place!

Well-cured wood can help. Guitars built with green wood will crack easily.

Plywood guitars are tough - my resonator guitars are impervious to dryness, and they're made of plywood basically.

The other thing that might explain it is survivor's bias - the guitars on the wall at the pub or in a mountain cabin either survive, or they crack and die. We see the ones that made it. Same thing with 200 year old parlor guitars - they are survivors.

Well if you subject your guitar to humidity fluctuations, it may well crack. Many do. My guild had a crack when I bought it, and when I moved to colorado it developed another. I have another guitar that has survived lots of changes in humidity and severe dryness without cracking. Maybe the wood was cured better, or I just got lucky.

I keep my nice martin humidified to ~47% all the time. Maybe it would survive dryness, but I don't want to take the chance. When they dry out it changes the way they play, being humidified properly helps keep the action consistent as well as protecting it against cracks.

yeah read that Caddyshack was made in florida instead of california because they didn't want the studios breathing down their necks.

yeah I've gotten android to work but its been a journey. still feels a little underdocumented and bleeding edge, but then again got it working finally. look to the examples and not the docs IMO

If you only will use what's in the standard tauri js api, or in the standard plugins, then technically you don't need rust. But yeah I think if you wrote a bunch of apps in it you'd inevitably want to make your own plugins or backend code, and then you'd need rust.

Depends. I made one in tauri and it was a good fit because I already had a web frontend and rust backend. I was able to reuse both of those with minor changes, now the same code builds the app and the web server/frontend.

I'd probably go native if:

  • you're only developing for android and don't care about desktop/ios/etc..
  • UI performance is really important, like for a game
  • You want to minimize app size
  • You aren't skilled at web front end development

With tauri, if you need phone apis that aren't in the toolkit already you're going to jump through some hoops going from javascript to rust to kotlin and back again. Its a significant barrier, you're handling serialization/deserialization of function arguments/results in 3 different languages.

they only offer the one laptop, a T480. Not an HP, Dell, etc. Ongoing fixes to the UEFI and BIOS code are irrelevant as this has libreboot instead. That's like saying you're missing out on windows updates if you run linux.

And anyway the T480 is at end of life:

This product is no longer being actively supported by development (End of Development Support) and no further software updates will be provided.

When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.

JC plays this one on gourd fiddle. Haven't heard this version before.

Earl White's fiddle style is instantly recognizable. Pretty sweet clawhammer banjo from Mark Olitsky too.
