I much prefer hourly to day or weekly rates. When I charge a daily rate I feel I need to work a full 8 hours. I currently use a timer app and bill my exact working hours. It's great because when the weather is nice and I want to go sai

There is no more 'mainstream'. In an age where you could only get music on a few radio stations and what could fit in a physical record store, selection was a lot more limited. In the 60s pretty much every teenager listened to roc

I outright bought mine. I'd never heard of battery leasing until your comment, it doesn't appear to be an option in Canada.

Steinberg is no longer granting licenses for VST2, so legally there can be no more new VST2 developers. But not all the hosts support VST3 yet and VST3 is over 10 years old. It's a giant pain in the ass. They are trying to force it, bu

I think "year of Linux on the desktop" is mostly an old Slashdot meme. There are no specific goalposts, it's just used to make fun of Linux adoption.

I had my arm 90% severed in an industrial accident, judging by the amount of morphine they had me on, I must have been in a lot of pain. But I can't remember the feeling of the pain at all, but I can remember all the things I was doing

For a 32 bit version, a single binary compiled in VS2017 could support XP to 10. For 64 bit, a single binary supports Vista to 10. In my experience, MS doesn't say go F yourself. They go to extreme lengths to keep old software working.

I work for a small company that produces a DAW and VST plugins. Supporting Linux is a huge amount of work compared to Windows and Mac. The main issue is that 'Linux' is not a thing you can support. You have to pick the distros you

Supporting Carbon isn't really an option, it was a technology designed to ease porting from OS9 to OSX. It's been deprecated for years, is 32 bit only and is being dropped completely after macOS 10.14 Mojave. I think it would make

Not sure what your definition of cheap is. You can get a used Nissan Leaf for under $5k. Expect 40 - 50 miles of range on a worn battery. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtm...

The company I currently work for does something similar. Latest version costs money, previous version gets given away with hardware, and version before that is free. However, we are going to transition to latest version costs money and two

This is what I was expecting when I drove between Switzerland-Italy in 2016. Except I was stopped, told to park, had my passport examined with with a loupe, and then was sent on my way. Are the borders back to normal now?
