Ha! Yes. Sometimes VLC doesn't remember where I was in the book so I have to faff around a bit and try to figure out where I was.
When I skip to content that I've heard before, usually I not only remember that I've heard them before, I remember where I was on my walk when I heard them!
Cars, industrial size generators, erasers and now I see pitch black pencil.
Their Boxy eraser is amazing. Hard to get nowadays though.
Anyone know of a better one?
After the 6 months, they didn't even have a a MVP.
This was run on a 6 month fund from the local government. They didn't know each other but they all knew that after 6 months it'd be over unless they'd secure more funding.
They spent the time faffing around, configuring things, splitting things, ... effectively making things harder for themselves.
I have received and read your response regarding my apology to you. I'm concerned that I may have upset you more than I realised.
My grandfather once told me not to take in too seriously random strangers comments. I try to live by that advice, wether it's comments from internet strangers, or, for that matter, customers at the phone shop.
This is of course not an advice from me to you. But I thought I'd share it with you in case you might find it useful too.
DBNR,

This is not an argument against what he said.
I was thinking about the psychological effects. The article mentions it but doesn't go into it: "However, 63% do fear it will be problematic to know how much their co-workers make"
If you look at the list of problems I wrote you see they are psychological.
Quitting is an extreme response (not wrong, and I totally understand people who'd decide to quit).
But what's the response of the other 96%? No response? Lower productivity? Toxicity? Less helpful? Indifferent? Revenge? Destructive?
I doubt the 96% will have no response.
Until KFC publishes a detailed incident report I'd be keen to assume this was done by more than one Nazi sympathizer.
How messed up does your DB schema need to be that you have issues with ordering entries by date?
The social media has gone absolutely toxic in an frantic attempt to maximize revenue per user.
The goal of de-cluttered web is nice. But if clutter is even just a notch more profitable, that ain't going to happen.
I do realize the use cases can be different, but then say and show that in the comparison.
(I'm trying to be helpful by offering unsolicited advice :) - Brilliant work!
Encryption: data isn't encrypted at rest. The author seems to be quite dismissive of the idea: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/289
But then it's advertised as "end-to-end encryption" but that only refers to data being encrypted while it sits on a sync point. Perhaps within the definition of end-to-end, but might give people the idea that the data is encrypted from the time they enter it.
Sync: I set it to up sync so S3 so I could have mobile and desktop notes in sync.
If I create or edit a quick note, it doesn't get synced automatically! I've set the S3 sync to 5 minutes (the minimum), but you have to press sync after edit.
Last time I looked they were working on a server sync (instead of S3), so hopefully this gets fixed.
A bit like luck. Sure, you can win the lottery (if you buy a ticket). But a lot of what people call "luck" is a combination of:
1. Opportunity (which you can increase your chances of it occurring). Although some people are born in a highly advantageous environment.
2. Readiness to grab that opportunity (skills, finances, environment).
3. Realizing that you actually have #1 and #2 and going for it. I have sadly not always done that.
2. Shell scripts are wonderful, but once they exceed a few lines (give or take 50), they've entered the fast track on becoming a maintenance headache and a liability.
Lord Gsus, who wrote this s*it?!
Then in git log... really?! Me? Did I write this?
