How to disable all AI stuff in Visual Studio Code

Fri, 09 May 2025 08:51:37 +0300

Classes in Qt Stylesheets (QSS)

I’ve used to work with Qt on my previous job, but currently I am not. But I’ve used this hack in a production code, and it was a big time saver.

Qt provides a nice feature to style all Qt Widgets with QSS. Just a simple CSS2 subset used to style all components: labels, buttons, sliders, tables, etc. Here is an example from the official documentation:

Hey There, a New Hugo Website!

Mon, 06 Feb 2017 02:25:08 +0300

After years of laziness I decided to update my blog. I migrated to Hugo from Jekyll and it’s awesome! Moreover, Hugo fits amazingly to my recent work with the laboratory website, that I created before.
