I just changed my linux desktop theme to Reactionary (Windows 9x like) One big reasons was to get better scrollbars. They used to have buttons to scroll a single line/item, but the modern scrollbars do not have it anymore, very annoyin

I click the middle button and move/drag it It is faster than scrolling with the wheel But when a site tries infinite scroll, it is often broken

I have started doing that as well this month with CSP But the disadvantage is the limited upside. If you just buy the stock, you could have unlimited profit if the price goes to the moon, but the option only gives 1%. And you could still lo

Are you going to make it open-source? I need something like that. I started trading this month, and the first thing I did was putting $1000 on AMC shares which then lost half their value :/

But there are no checksums from the DVD, because there are no files on the DVD I have actually tried it multiple times over six hours, and now I have burned three DVDs without files on them

I just made a backup of my files on DVD for that But I do not think it worked. It did burn for 20 minutes and the DVD changed its color, but then the laptop reports the DVD is still empty

But it is much simpler to write it in XPath (that could then be included in XSLT) for $i in 1 to 100 return if ($i mod 3 = 0 and $i mod 5 = 0) then "FizzBuzz" else if ($i mod 3 = 0) then "Fizz" else

I had an account, but never used it. But recently I noticed, it is really important to tell people about your projects. No one else you get that much visibility. Thus, I have now started using it more However, I have barely any followers,

I used to have a zero bug policy in my projects But it gets hard when the users do not cooperate, and there is nothing to reproduce In an open-source app I only got 3 bug reports in the bug tracker in nearly 15 years. And they were not rea

I talked about both ways. Either buy the shares and buy an option as insurance, or only sell an option for the "pennies" In the first case, you can have unlimited profit if the stock goes up, a slight lose if it trades sideways, l

I did most of my programming in Delphi when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I then got stuck on it. Any other language is either too slow or too unsafe. Nowadays, I mostly use FreePascal, because so many people refuse to use non-open-source sof
