It also be very nice if it can actually handle trackpoint as an actual joystick (real trackpoint is a tensometer, not a position sensor.)
IMHO it's next to impossible to completely fund the project via Patreon or similar, if Joplin's developer after all this time is only receiving ~$130/month I think it would make more sense to me to self-fund it until it's profitable.
Cardinal Financial | Remote | Full Time Role

Cardinal Financial, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is a nationwide direct mortgage lender whose mission is to prove that homeownership is possible for everyone. By bringing an open-minded approach to an often closed-minded industry, we're able to embrace every unique financial situation differently in order to craft the best possible loans for our borrowers.

Our SaaS enterprise mortgage lending platform is a challenging and complex system that includes lender and borrower interfaces, workflow, document management, advanced automation, and integrations with external entities and services.

The server architecture is stateless, cleanly managing the business logic and persistence layer, exposed as a RESTful JSON API. The server is written using a combination of Java 8 on Jetty, and Node.js for asynchronous tasks. We persist our data in MySQL using MyBatis and use Redis for caching, metrics, and non-critical message queueing.

The UI uses a custom, JavaScript MVC framework with many modern techniques: dynamic code loading modules, client-side routing and templates, powerful data-binding features, integrated services, and advanced component architecture.

We develop on Macs and deploy on AWS. Our tools include: github, Jenkins, gradle, grunt, JAXB, iText, Aspose, IntelliJ IDEA, Pivotal Tracker.

The ideal candidate for this role will possess a CS degree and 1-4 years of experience.

My general impression is that most businesses fail. So it seems getting enough money via any avenue at all is very difficult. I don't see any particular reason to especially condemn the donation model for that as if it is magically the root cause of the problem.

Regardless of the model used, getting paid for your work seems to generally be additional effort on top of accomplishing the thing itself.
If you put your Chromebook in Developer Mode, you should be able to access a root Linux shell and remap buttons there. However, I don’t think Chrome OS uses Xorg at all so your xinput solution won’t work to remap mouse buttons. The only solution that’s effectively guaranteed to work is to install Crouton and run a Linux distro of your choice on it. You would still have to deal with the annoying boot sequence and slightly less security.

I've worked with both monorepo orgs, and polyrepo orgs. I think if you have only used git as your VCS and not something like perforce, you're likely to get the wrong idea of how it works.

Both CAN work, but for internal organizations with a reasonably sized team, I've come to realize that a mono repo is better. You attain "separation" by establishing different views of the code/data and at scale, the mental model of what's happening is much simpler.

I've been playing with Matomo recently and opted to use a premade container [1] for it and that was working pretty well.

Location: New Zealand (Dutch citizenship)

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes, NZ was intended to be temporary anyway (current position is remote)

Worked with many technologies over the last 20 years; the above list is by no means comprehensive. My main focus in the last three years has been with Go, which I like and want to continue working with, but I'll consider anything (I didn't know any Go before I started this job, and being able to work with it was a perk).

My website (https://arp242.net/) lists some hobby stuff I've done over the years.

I'm mainly looking for an interesting project/application to work on with positive co-workers with the freedom to make a quality product that solves real problems.

It’s still the CD era for me, or at least I’m regressing back to that. I’ve come to despise the modern method of music consumption. If you want to listen on a simple home stereo, you have to jack around with various streaming and storage methods, library management, etc. Just popping in a CD is far easier.
The "edge case" here is a human being that can't use your product because you decided that there should be as few menu options as possible.
No one deliberately excluded you from anything. You have a trackpad that can be clicked with any finger you want.

Your issue is that you can't configure your 3rd party mouse with nonstandard buttons to work in a custom way. Because of that, you're ranting about all the able-ist jerks at google who while putting in the effort to make things accessible for the blind and the deaf, don't seem to care about implementing your specific workaround for inflammation in your finger.

The world can't give you 100% of what you want 100% of the time. The important thing is that the people who really need help get it.
I think the moderate is the more sighworthy part because in that context it is a tautology if it is an ammount that causes problems it isn't moderate by definition.

That and those sorts of food studies tend to be bullshit marketing pushes to drive consumption in the first place.
> places that use monorepos also tend to have whole teams full of people who feel entitled to f#ck with stuff across the entire repo

That's only true to the extent that the statement 'places that use multirepos also tend to be full of people who feel entitled to f#ck with stuff across the entire codebase' is.

Bad colleagues can cause damage either way. I appreciate that with a single repo, bad colleagues are at least forced to have passing tests after their changes, rather than leaving it to me to pick up the pieces.
I don't know I think there's so much to do in the note-taking arena alone that selling a book about productivity or something along that line instead may be a bit too unrelated.

They did though. They admitted on the bug that ChromeOS is not for power users, meaning anyone who needs a different configuration from the default. They didn't accidentally forget,they made a conscious choice, repeatedly.

A question I had when I started learning about PoS that isn't addressed here is "how much interest can I earn per year". The answer is it depends on how many people stake, and the numbers aren't finalized yet, but estimates are that you should be able to earn 2-6%. We won't know for sure until it's live and being used.

I wanted to test this out but it appears the only way to do so is by signing in with GitHub. That won't necessarily deter me, but I imagine that will be the case for others.

If I were you, I would allow access to the course without signing in. Then, if the user wants to save their progress, they can connect their GH account.
The idea of a trackpoint on my desktop keyboard is what led me to pull the trigger on one of these: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/
Sorry mate, as far as disabilities go you seem to have no idea what being excluded means. You have so many options but here you are complaining that you can't use one particular device with one particular fringe operating system. Just don't use a Chromebook.

With many disabilities you have to use very specific software/hardware solutions, you gotta work with what's available and it can take a long time to figure out what works best. Not every single system can cater to every single disability out there.

It's not, otherwise closed captioned videos wouldn't be released without audio description tracks (and vice versa).

Clearly several people working at Google have already noticed because they replied to the report on the issue tracker about it, and they all said that implementing this would be a good idea.
Another thing is that the OP categorized "medium sized menorepos" as being too large to fit on a laptop. Maybe the companies I've worked for is limited (mainly startups & consultancies), but the entire codebase, after several years of operation, still easily fits on a single laptop.

Of course there is a threshold, however this is typically a concern of a large organization or an organization that has been producing software for a decade or more.
I used to see people rant about 'chemicals in the water changing our behavor' and think insanity. Now I am somewhat relieved I have a private well on a secluded aquifier.

You didn't contribute to the talk about Wittgenstein, but exclusively talked about yourself and things you do.

In addition, instead of explaining the relationship of your activities with Wittgenstein (that could have been an on-topic contribution), you ask the reader to watch recordings.

About a decade ago, London Underground began piping classical music into some tube stations to deter petty crime and anti-social behaviour. The scheme was deemed a success.

There are a couple of possible interpretations of the success:

1. Classical music had a calming effect that dampened anti-social behaviour.

2. (A bit more depressing) Classical music is so uncool that anyone with anti-social intentions didn't want to hang around in a station while it was being played

Here's a 2008 article from The Independent newspaper on the scheme:

A polyrepo setup at Google's scale would pretty obviously require some dev work. For example, their CI/build story would be way more complex.
Thank you. That was the clearest video explanation I could have asked for.
Hyperledger is a series of projects sponsored by the Linux foundation, Hyperledger Fabric [1] is an example of a blockchain project that is solely a ledger and smart contract platform, that isn't focused on the currency use case.

AFAIK there isn't a canonical public Fabric blockchain, it's mostly focused on companies that want to roll their own private/permissioned blockchain, but I'm sure there are projects that are what you're looking for.

Unless you're an ancient Greek, that isn't particularly surprising; it was not part of current traditions when used as the name of a spacecraft.
At it's core, this is an economic problem. When there's an "endless" supply of money, prices go up.

Combined with the newfound belief that, you must, and in fact, are entitled to go to college, "demand" goes up too.

The result is students racking up needless debt when they probably shouldn't have gone to college to begin with. College is NOT the only option to build a successful career, but in America, with no degree, you're seemingly sub-par in the eyes of our backwards society.

So, who wins? All these "Not-for-profit Universities" whose profit margins (non-profit, doesn't mean that aren't profit-ABLE) are probably better than many Fortune 500 companies.

The solution is to dry up the source of loan money, reduce the pumped up demand for bogus degrees kids are getting and encourage young people to consider other career options. You don't need a piece of paper to be successful.
The basis of solidarity is "an injury to one of us is an injury to all of us."

If you look at, for example, the WCAG rules on accessibility, you'll see that there are various levels of conformance. Accessibility isn't just about blind people, or deaf people, or people with tremors, or people with cognative impairments. It is about all of us. You and me.

One day, you will be old. Your eyes won't be as good as they were and your joints will be stiff. Then someone will tell you that Windows 2038 is accessible because it is voice controlled. That's nice for you, but not much help for someone who has lost their voice.

Sorry, I'm rambling. Accessibility means including everyone.
the grass is always greener.
Thanks for the feedback!
I had that during the testing period but it was a bit confusing. You've also got flashcards linked to your progress which also requires an account.
I'm also avoiding adding a 2nd method of sign in in order not to confuse returning visitors: "Which account did I use? "
Electronic devices have a legal requirement for accessibility? What are the requirements?
There’s a nice book by Edward Kanterian called “Ludwig Wittgenstein” from Reaktion Books Critical Lives series which is quite good, and shorter than Monk’s biography.

> A gun would have to be put to every individual miner's head to force the majority to upgrade.

The analogy applies to this, too. Governments have long shown that you don't have to put a gun to each individual's head - murder a small amount of dissidents in a nasty manner and it quite effectively squashes dissent in a lot of cases.

A lot of miners are in China, which has lots of practice doing this.
These sorts of missions are almost always underpromised (or, at least, based on very conservative estimates). See the various Mars rovers.
> They admitted on the bug that ChromeOS is not for power users

Yes, they admitted it wasn't for power users. Needing to click with your thumb instead of your finger isn't a power user feature, it's an accessibility feature. That's why everyone is complaining about it.

They made a conscious choice not to add power user features. They did not make a conscious choice not to add accessibility feature, it was just a knock on effect. Hence it not being deliberate.

Those streaks in that pic are the path of a star that UT passed. Given they know the velocity, if they time the period where the light from the star is occluded, they get a measure of how wide the object is at that elevation.

Chrome OS, Settings, Mouse, Swap primary button (or something like that, I'm using the German locale).
Why couldn't you use a Chromebook comfortably because you are left handed? I am left handed and I use a mouse just like any other right handed person. I don't know anyone who is left handed and uses the mouse with their left hand. So saying that 20% of the population can't use Chromebooks comfortably isn't right in my opinion. I'm sure for some people it is a problem, I'm not trying to say that it's not. I also think that it's pretty stupid that you can't reassign the mouse buttons and I really don't like their response to the problem.
Or is there a different reason why it should be uncomfortable?
I'm not comfortable asking anyone their age. Someone in their 20s, could be perceived as experience-shaming (I am in my late 30s).
For my clients, I use an open source monorepo submodule inside the client's proprietary monorepo. I can maintain the organizations' software while sharing common code.

So (mono)repos are composable.
"Ignorance". That's the word we're all looking for here.

As a lefty, I've often felt frustrated, or even furious as the ignorance of UX for those of us that don't fit the norm.

The comments from the developers that responded to this clearly showed such ignorance, that it's a "power-user" feature etc. If I use my mouse left handed, as a left-handed person, is it a "power-user" feature to want the buttons the opposite way around?

You'll probably find that the less stubborn lefties of the world, such as myself, have actually developed into a form of ambidexterity. Not entirely ambidextrous (I can't write well with my right hand, for example), but something of the sort. I'm a lefty, there is no doubt, but I use a computer like any other right-handed person (apart from using tenkey-less keyboards, because a numpad is useless to me).

This is the option we have when the world around us is created for everyone _else_.

I once worked for a company that was commissioned by a local government body to add accessibility features to the company's own (local travel) app because it was unusable by the members of the community that required those accessibility features.

This is great, but, the task was given to me. What experience do I have with resolving accessibility problems? I'm just a developer. Was I given the resources to go out and survey those that required the accessibility features? Was I given contact with the local government that commissioned the improvements? Was I given a book on "Designing & Developing with Accessibility in Mind"?

No.

I completely understand where OP is coming from with this, and when the problem is with a company as large, ethereal and ignorant as Google is, it goes beyond frustration.
>For one thing, it's a legally mandated requirement.

No it isn't. The ADA does not apply to products, including software. Some websites are within the purview of Title III.

If I make a toaster, I am under no legal obligation to ensure that my toaster is accessible. I have a moral obligation (and potentially a commercial imperative) to make reasonable efforts to ensure that it is usable by the widest possible range of consumers, but it is simply not practical to ensure that my toaster is usable by every possible person with every possible permutation of needs.
I've been selling on Amazon for the past few years and there is money still to be made. However the landscape is always changing whether the economy or Amazon's own internal plans so for how long, I'm unsure. It's a great place to easily and quickly find customers, build a brand, and launch a company though.

I helped turn a sinking Amazon small business around last year. They did a little over $2m revenue. One of our promotions became so viral that we had $2000+ in orders with less than $20 in ad spend within a few hours. In this sense, things are always changing but I don't think it has ever been this easy to start a business with so little.

Information changes quickly so you can burn a lot of money on outdated information or pure ignorance. For example, my $2m+ client would probably have failed or were on the verge of failing because they weren't able to adapt to Amazon's increased competition in the last year. They had no idea what keyword ranking was, how to identify keywords, drive traffic, or launch products because they never needed to in the past. Because things change so quickly it is very hard to find experts who maintain their expertise... However once you understand the fundamentals, learn how to surf, riding the Amazon waters gets a lot easier.

If you can learn quickly and adapt, Amazon is still a gold mine, some risk involved, but with great payouts.
It's a bit hard to answer, because the most talented I know became more talented as they aged (so I'm tempted to answer their current age which is 30s or 40s because of my own age range) but they were definitely noticeably more talented than their peers when young, too. They would have been decent hires at 17 for those who were coding then -- not better than the best experienced people, but decent, definitely leagues above other first year students.

Some of them weren't coding until 25 or so but in that case same applies -- they were noticeably very competent at 25, and better at 35 than they were at 25.

Obviously motivation, desire to stay in tech, specific technology stack, etc, varies.
