Enable mouse scrolling with Apple wireless mouse on Windows PC
Today I was trying to use my Apple wireless mouse on my Windows PC, after pairing the mouse using Bluetooth, it worked fine until I noticed that I couldn't scroll browser pages properly. Tried many ways but all failed. Did some investigation online and found a workable solution. This post will share my experience. To enable mouse scrolling, there is a driver needed to be installed. First to go to Brigadier which is a Windows- and OS X-compatible Python script that fetches, from Apple's...

Leaving comments in real life
As a programmer I like to write comments because I know that some future person (often me) is going to need to know something about my code that won't be immediately obvious from reading it. Here's a recent example from my homebrew display's code:// protocol_init: Set up a newly powered-on string of lights. The lights are arranged// in an array wired diagonally starting from the bottom left. For ease of programming// it's better if they are given numbers which correspond to coor...

The Death of .NET and the Power of Perception
One of my long-standing issues with Microsoft is its inability to control the perceptions surrounding its own products. One of the biggest examples was during the Windows Vista years when, even after the product had been fully patched and worked fine, Apple continued to do a better job to define the image of Windows (compilation of ads here) than Microsoft did, costing Microsoft billions in lost revenue for the millions it saved on a strong advertising campaign. The firm has a history of being p...

The most stupid C bug ever
I have been programming for a number of years already. I have seen others introduce bugs, and I have also introduced (and solved!) many bugs while coding. Off-by-one, buffer-overflow, treating pointers as pointees, different behaviors or the same function (this is specially true for cross-platform applications), race conditions, deadlocks, threading issues. I think I have seen quite a few of the typical issues. Yet recently I lost a lot of time to what I would call the most stupid C bug in ...
