    He also has a fantastic ProTracker clone as well as a bug fixed version of the Amiga ProTracker. Together, they make for a great way to write Amiga tunes that you can still edit an…

    I'm pretty sure that NobodyNada knows this, but for pedants out there using Bb instead of A# is specifically a classical European music notation thing. There's nothing wrong with u…

    Okay, semantics aside, companies will not make things more repairable if they aren't required to do so.

    Corporations will do anything they can get away with. Without consumer-friendly regulation I don't really see why all corporations _wouldn't_ eventually do this type of thing in ma…

    If you really want to allow for another browser to authenticate a login request, you can at least limit it to sessions coming from the same IP. That would let you authenticate your…

    That paper doesn't disprove my point. It indicates ~7% home vacancy, which means the total number of vacant homes is higher than the number of people without homes.

    Most expensive homes yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of livable homes and apartments that are _empty_ at any given time. Canada has a lot of vacant houses.
