+1 for SensibleSideButtons and ScrollReverser. I find using a mouse painful without them, and I greatly appreciate that they're both free.

It's been 19 years since this problem has been fixed and yet the bad code is still there.

This is looking at the past with today's eyes. There was no concept of "maintaining" games as you might expect today. Games were finished, put out on disk or CD, and that was usually that. Patches were sometimes introduced to

I also use one. The software is available on Android too and as long as your phone has NFC it will work. I was surprised that this method of reading blood sugar wasn't mentioned in the article. It removes the stressful and painful need

This doesn't work well on mobile. Once a pattern is chosen, panning and zooming is broken.

When you say "maximize", what about the expensive bike and subscription makes you think you will lose more weight or get fitter than a cheaper bike and basic subscription? It feels to me like you may have fallen victim to their ad

You're absolutely right. I'm surprised this isn't more well known. Here's an article from 10 years ago talking about tracking people in airports. https://www.futuretravelexperience.com/2011/04/b

What an odd point of view. It doesn't sound like you respect your users at all.

I've got 20 years of experience and have never bothered with side projects, portfolios or the like. You have to have the confidence to pitch your real experience and let it shine on your CV and at interview, both from a technical and p

I have to say I agree. Presenting a login screen early is a great idea, as most people take a short while to log in, and in that time system can finish initialising - as long as there is enough free CPU and interrupts to service the keyboar

Yes, I only mentioned it today to two coworkers who hadn't seen it on their mailboxes. I've been getting a few a week, some go to spam and some don't.

It replaces the millions of ads and trackers on the web with exactly one ad, which is as you say on the new tab screen, that you can turn off in the settings. There is also Brave Rewards, something that pays you for viewing ads but is disab

It would be good to add some explanation to your site describing what it is and how to use it. I clicked the link and had no idea what to do next.

720 is the default for Google Meet and gives a decent quality picture imo. There's definitely value in seeing others at that resolution - the restricting factor is people's unreliable or narrow bandwidth internet connection.
