    Array.isArray is available in the runtime, but it was a later addition so folks may be downloading it for compatibility. There is a LOT of that in the javascript ecosystem. https:/…

    IANAL either, but easements[1] may apply here, depending on how broadband cable is classified. And I'm not remembering the terms for this, but I've heard there are situations where…

    I use that chair too (at home). Just about everyone who's visited and tried it said it was one of the most comfortable chairs they've used. Only disadvantage (for me at least) is t…

    They also mention in the post that the old violins were shipped, and no adjustments made, which means bridges could be improperly positioned, sound posts in poor positions... havin…

    One advantage traditional notation has over this is that the modifiers are a lot larger and more visible. For sight reading, notation needs to be easily scannable and irregularitie…
