Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas. — Paul Samuelson. Hey guys, recently I’ve been dabbling on a pitch deck creation. To create a better pitch deck that will captivate investors and clients alike. Upon reading multiple pitch decks that have been submitted to YCombinator 1 , I’ve concluded that there is a certain pitch deck structure and characteristics needed. For me, I think a pitch deck must contain only the core of what you’re trying to do or achieve. I mean, just keep it short and simple which even a 5 year old could understand. Don’t put any jargon and highlight the important parts like graphs and figures. Anyways, let’s dive on some pitch decks used and created by well known companies in this day and age. Coinbase If you’ve been in the crypto space for a while, I know for sure you’ve heard the name Coinbase. Its one of the top cryptocurrency exchange that is base

Find Unintended CSS Overflow

Image
You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it. — Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Hey guys, ever coded an HTML static design site? I’m sure you’ve encountered problems where you’ve just installed some CSS framework then coded some additional CSS files. After you’ve finished the code you run it on a browser then TADAHHH ! There were overflows horizontal and vertical scrollbars. 😁 It’s a bit cumbersome to find where those scrollbar or overflow originated, so that’s what this article is for. In order to find those overflows, here’s a one liner that you can directly paste on your web developer console or just press F12 then the console tab. The console tab is the place where you look at javascript logs ( console.log ), anyways just copy this then analyze it first before pasting on your console. javascript : void ( function ( ) { var docWidth = document . documentElement . offsetWidth ; [ ] . forEach . call ( document . querySelector

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. — Orson Welles. Hi guys, if you ever check your task manager you’ll notice chrome is listening to port 5353 on Linux. Did you know you could stop it? as what this sub-process is specifically doing – listening and doing some device probing like an auto discovery which is similar to avahi . In order to disable this Chrome functionality you need to first create a directory and policy file. You could do this by executing the command below. sudo mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ sudo touch /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/block_mdns_ssdp.json What this does is first create a directory inside the /etc/opt/chrome which will be used to store manage policies and create the initial policy file that we would be editing. Then we edit the block_mdns_ssdp.json file that we created earlier and then we put the contents
