    I'm in the same boat as you, and every time I touch a Windows PC I am again and again surprised at all the junk they put in there by default. Not only Microsoft, but also the OEMs.…

    Thanks for the link and tl;dr, even though it's a quite short video (3:16). I found your explanation very interesting because I have intuitively felt like this is accurate, but nev…

    This page has horrible scrolling. I really don't understand why anybody creates this kind of scroll. Are they not using what they create?

    You are right, these quirks are not something you struggle with very often. The only one that has been troublesome at some point during my now 8 years as a professional, mainly Jav…

    I recently switched jobs, and as I've become more comfortable in my new job, I realized that my old job completely sucked the creativity and fun out of programming for me. I did no…

    I clicked around a little and I think that the correct page for me is this one, perhaps it is the correct one for you too? The script doesn't work, but it looks like it could work …

    I love userscripts, and I'm so happy to see and hear that other are using them and developing them. Well done, Will! I hope you keep making userscripts!

    I think that that is supposed to prepare web apps for verification in the browser, in order to not allow them to run or connect to a remote server unless they are confirmed to be n…

    I use Ripgrep daily, and it helps me a lot when navigating codebases, and I even use it to search through my notes. A while ago, I made a script that looks for file paths in the ou…

    > git reflog (git usage or git cmdlog) Oh my god, I just realized this is ref-log (a log of references), and not re-flog (I'm not even sure what "to flog" is). No wonder I've never…

    I tried to search for a song I found to be quite cool, Rotoscoping by PTRD. I got two matches, one "Discover Weekly Archive" made by Skiley.net on behalf of NomadicDaggy (you, the …

    I absolutely love this, and I do the same. Small programs and scripts to solve problems I encountered in my daily life. When I make them for my own use, and for myself to enjoy mak…

    The "typing" of the results are horrible. It just adds a few seconds where you just sit and wait for the answer to be finished for no apparent reason. Doesn't help that the default…
