I think the difference is that if you write a blog post complaining about the silliness of these labels, you don't get people telling you that no, you don't get it, it's totally fine, these are just aspect ratios.

Exactly. In my experience, it's not just Ultimate Guitar, all of these sites with chord progressions assume you already know how the music sounds. They're not enough for someone to lean a song having never heard it, so they'r

Not OP, but here's an example of "random code" inserted by the compiler[1]: note the assembly instruction "ud2" ("invalid opcode exception" in x86 land) instead of "ret" in not_ok(). You might th

I have no idea, and I'd have to know more context before thinking my opinion matters. For example, just off the top of my head: (1) What are the fines for comparable things in other countries (in an out of Europe)? (2) "Bendels ha

It's hard to say without more context. Maybe that was not hist first fine, it just got to that amount after a few "satirical statements" and lower fines.

Ah, I understand you now, you're right. I remember there was a lot of confusion when llvm started removing stores to read-only memory[1], some people got angry because it broke some kernel code (that only worked because being in a kern

I'm not sure what you mean. In `writable()`, there's no read-only data; `s` is a non-const char array (it has to be static because the function returns a pointer to it). The string literal is only there to tell the compiler how to

It might crash, or it might work as naively expected, or it might do something else. For example, clang started simply omitting writes to data it knows to be read-only (which is allowed because these writes are undefined behavior, so anythi

This is really cool! A small suggestion for improvement: the labels of the black keys currently don't match their function according to the key signature. For example, in F major the black key between A and B should be called Bb, not A

Yes, that's the point: the numbers are used as both indices and offsets. To any musician or music student, moving from G to B is "going up a (major) third", even though it's obviously going up by 2 notes. The name of tha

That sounds reasonable at first, but humans are messy and so the distinction is not always clear. For example, in music we use numbers for the notes of a scale (G is the 5th of C, because in the C major scale: C=1, D=2, E=3, F=4, G=5, A=6,

As far as I know, any Pico 2 currently sold carry the RP2350A: 30 GPIOs, no internal flash since the board carries an external flash chip. (BTW two of the variants are called RP2354 and not RP2350, the last digit means the amount of interna
