> how to get Chrome to use autoscroll on mouse middle click

I'm using an extension for that: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/middle-button-scrol...

There used to be a more popular one, but it got dumped by Chrome recently, guess it wasn't up-to-date.

This one isn't perfect (eg sometimes it pastes clipboard on middle-click), but still it mostly works.

Thanks! This works pretty well.

Arg, but then middle clicking links to open in new tabs wont work any more.

Think Gemini 3 can one-shot a Chrome extension?

Upwork might be a good place for you.

This depends on the client.

And JFYI - while there definitely are good clients on Upwork, you'd have to sieve through a lot of garbage posts, so you'll have to spend quite some time finding the good ones.

I also heard people saying that local US marketplaces (even Craigslist) might bring a higher hourly rate. Can't vouch for it, though. On Upwork, there's a lot of work at $30-35 per hour - you can set higher rate for yourself, but that would naturally mean less clients reaching out to you.

I've been working with it for 9.5 years now, you're welcome to ask if you have questions.

Good luck!

I agree that Upwork sounds ideal for small one-off tasks.

Mind if I ask how far you've been able to push your hourly rate up after 9.5 years on the site? I've been on it for 2 years and have been able to find long-term full-time contracts at the 60-70 $/hr range.

Strong tradition of STEM education, back from the Soviet times. Military complex was very strong in the USSR, which resulted in quality education (again, just STEM, not so in humanities) - basically, you need to know physics and maths very well to build the bomb.

I guess that applies to other Eastern bloc countries to some extent (see Polish universities at ##5, 9 and 25, Ukraine at #11, Belarus at #17).

In case of Poland it helps that algorithm competitions are popular in high school. Each year top winners get a free pass to entry any CS university. So if you SAT style exams are not your thing there is an alternative way.

Try BountySource [1] maybe?

There you can post a proposal for some improvement to an OSS project (a design doc, in your case) and pledge a bounty for it.

If other people have the same problem, they might chip in further, making it more visible/profitable to solve.

Thanks for the link! First time I've seen that marketplace. I'll look into it.

Seconding draw.io, have been using it somewhat actively recently, do recommend.

Seamless integration with GDrive, lots of existing templates, great experience overall.
