    I was looking for one a while back and ended up making my own in PHP. I know it's not a popular language anymore but I have a PHP host where I put my websites and it's the quickest…

    For anyone using Windows with vertical monitors, I made something in AutoHotKey that helps snap windows to top/bottom half or third of the screen. This is useful if you regularly u…

    I've never experienced this as a form of spam myself but I have noticed that some times events will get added to my calendar without me seeing the email message. I'll see something…

    Yup, you'd have to have all permutations of any length password in the css file AND it would have to be pre-filled using the value attribute. The original post on this talks about …

    While it's an interesting idea, these are confusing to understand even for someone who knows these concepts.

    I like this. For more complicated scripts, I use Visual Studio which has a full debugger with breakpoints and watch capabilities. For small scripts I do use print and this would be…

    The threshold could be very low for gaining upvote privilege. But yes, I like this idea better. As a long time reader but someone who doesn't comment much, I don't like the idea of…

    I can't speak on car play, but I switched back from GMaps to Apple. I hadn't used it since it first came out (when it sucked) but have found it's a lot better now. I especially lik…

    With how unrealistic experience expectations can be for positions, It's nice to see they're looking at junior and senior candidates and have this line: B.S. in Computer Science wou…
