    Have had iPhones since the 5s. On a 17pro now. Never had this happen as an apple software thing, but the new ones (I last had a 14 and didn't have this problem, not sure when the b…

    My gosh. I'm having to support some older platforms (like OS/400) who STILL don't have C++11 support. And also for now, HP-UX and Solaris, which support up to C++14 (dead platforms…

    Korg Opsix can also load Dx7 patches, and has all six ops. And many waveforms beyond sine. And other weird shit you can use instead of an oscillator in an operator spot, like a com…

    Even tho I’ve heard nothing, light rail from 9mile to downtown Parker would be another great nice to have. It is slow.

    Since I moved here in the mid 1990’s we now have added light rail to Golden, down to Lincoln on I-25, all the way up I225, and I70 from downtown to the airport. Not exactly nothing…
