Spoofing is really bad where I am. I've heard of people getting phone calls from their OWN phone number. A lot of them at the very least have very familiar area codes or prefix to try to get you to answer it.

Someone asked me if I could give any advice about database clustering with PostgreSQL preferably on a Windows platform 
It turned out hard to find a solution that was not Linux based, but I found some and added them here: database-cluster-managers[^]
Now I wonder if anybody has ever used something like e.g. SymmetricDS and how it will perform with lots of SQL write and read operations.

We use Citus, but on Linux. Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but it's worth a look.

Thanks, that's a well known name, it was even acquired by Microsoft so maybe a Windows version is in the pipeline

Windows - settings - ease of access - automatically hide scrollbars in Windows - OFF !!!
Finally, what a joy …

This "ease of access" was bugging me (and everyone I guess) for some time  , but only recently I think this solution arrived, MSFT deserves good points for correcting this ...

I'm obviously missing something here - what's the big deal ?

Microsoft decided that "knowing there was more if you scroll" wasn't important and auto hide the scrollbars in UWP apps by default until you hover the mouse over where they might be if there is any more to see. Stupid UI design, a retrograde step in usability.

I have absolutely no idea.
It probably seems "clean" and "fresh" to some prepubescent ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) wit that works in the "design department" at MS. Like many Win 8 / 10 changes, "usability" was not considered or tested.

I suspect you will garner a vast number of upvotes for this gem - thanks.

Thanks for recognizing my alert mood , and ... I appreciate the upvotes, of course, but I didn’t think about it ...

Well, I'll be! Thanks for posting that.
Who ever thought that hiding the scrollbars was an "ease of access" improvement? Hiding something does not make it easier to access!

especially then, in case one depends on a screen reader 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Thank you, appreciate it ... I think someone at MSFT was inspired and added this option recently to let us choose at least (but the choice is evident ...)

Pretty sure this is one of those settings that get reset with every Windows update, 'cuz I've definitely used this before (months ago) and--now that you've posted about it--noticed that it was turned off again...

Perhaps it leads a kind of "quantum life" … - once we see it, once we don't,
but in the last 2-3 months it annoyed me a lot, as it harms productivity,
and only now I could solve the puzzle …

I understand minimalist design, but many people take this too far. Thank you for this setting.
