Lightnote open source alternatives?

I have recently come across lightnote.co and I loved the way music theory was explained interactively. The premium subscription for the rest of the lessons though is extremely high and not justified imo.

Is there any open source alternative to this?

How did you choose what and where to do a masters in?

I am almost 28 now (F) and my_qualifications are that I graduated with a BTech degree in ECE, with a CGPA of 7.96 from IIST, Trivandrum. I work in ISRO but my passion for that job is in the negatives. I am contemplating between a secure government job very much needed; especially when people are getting laid off left and right from jobs they've been at for more than 10 years even. But also primarily because I have dependent parents and if my brother loses his private job, we'll have no income in the family.

I know the "why masters?" part of my dilemma. It's because of the aforesaid cognitive dissonance I am facing and I don't think the politics will allow me to get a transfer to a different centre, not taking into account that they only care about vacancy and not your specialization.

Coming to the why I am asking this question : I am an extremely curious person. I can be curious about how the genes of native Indians are different from most North Indians to building my own e-reader to reading at lengths about astronomy and politics/philosophy(the list goes on and on. ugh). This has proven to be highly devastative for me in choosing a field and I have now given myself over 5 years to decide on one I would want to do a masters in.

So, here I am asking about your Masters journey. How did it start? How did you zero in on what field and which university to do a Masters in?

P.S.

  1. I am looking for answers from people who genuinely wanted to study a field better and not the ones who went on the study abroad band wagon. No offense.

  2. I cannot afford to pay the fees for a Masters, so I am hoping answers from people who were in the similar situation as me when it comes to the abroad affordability.

My father is not willing to undergo CABG

My father(63 in 2023) suffered what was in the hospital terms "a massive heart attack" in the late November of 2023. He underwent two angiogram procedures; one at Osmania, and another at KIMS, Hyderabad. We found that his right main artery was completely blocked and he had other multiple blockages. He also had a mild valve disease. Despite many doctors suggesting a bypass, and family members trying to convince him, he skipped the recommended bypass surgery. His reasoning was that he saw his elder brother and others undergo it only to render them completely weak to do anything.
So through word of mouth he learned about a Unani Heart Clinic and took his medication there. He stopped taking any medicine for about a year and later went to consult the Unani "doctor" again about rapid heartbeat(120) one day suddenly and not being able to speak with a strong voice since the heart attack. The heart beat was normal after emergency care in a conventional hospital. The doctors at the hospital, after understanding his history, prescribed the CABG treatment, which, of course, he denied. The "doctor" then asked him why he stopped his allopathy medicine of aspirin and statins. So he resumed them again. After being inconsistent with the prescribed medicines, he complained of the same rapid heartbeat again(around 120). We took him to emergency care again. And after having prescribed CABG, he refused the treatment. Again. This happened in early March and late April this year.
He looks fine on the outside now and has a new problem of teeth infection which requires a cardiologist approval. And we have no idea of his heart condition now since he also doesn't want to get an angiogram done. The 2D-Echo and lipid profile tests are normal but even he knows that they don't show a complete picture.
He is now insisting on the EECP treatment OP was mentioning which we ruled out because we are not clogged drains from the inside.
So, the crux of my question is, what do I do when I feel helpless after trying everything out? My initial train of thought was to not stress him out, fill only heart friendly groceries around; basically lifestyle with whatever medicine he was taking. But perhaps owing to his health condition, he gets angry at the slightest discomfort, does not have good appetite, and my family is stressed about this 24/7.
Do you have any suggestions on dealing with such a patient and getting him treated the right way?

ESP-IDF with VSCode : Unable to fix configuration issues

Hi.

I recently purchased the learnesp32 course online. I know it's old but it seemed complete. The installation process though is very old. After having followed the steps from the VScode marketplace, I copied the blink folder to another location and tried the doctor command to check the configuration but seem to be getting "undefined" for cmake and ninja despite getting the versions on the terminal showing up. None of the tutorials or installation procedures mention opening a workspace to run the doctor command. I created one because the chatbot in vscode said so. Can anyone help please?

P.S. I have esp 6.0.1 and espressif tools installed in the C drive and have created/copied the blink folder from the examples listed to a new folder in the F drive. The chat says that shouldn't create a problem and I don't think it does because I have set the IDF_PATH and IDF_TOOLS_PATH to point to the the folders in the c drive.

These are the notification messages even after configuring everything properly
