Jeden by si myslel, že když "napere" do kovové trubičky teploměr obalený v silikonové hadičce, tak to tam vydrží (rukou vytáhnout šel stěží).. po dvou letech se přesto ta silikonová trubička postupně sama vysunula, asi jak se ten kov zahřívá a chladne, že se nepatrně smršťuje a to stačí..

Just learned about GridReader, a free tool for Blind programmers that might make it easier to explore complex nested code. My #Python experience is limited to experimenting with the BBC Microbit, and so far i've just set my screen reader to report indentation level. #Blind coders: how do you handle indentation and navigating complex code bases? Does GridReader seem useful? psu.edu/news/information-scien…

Honestly no, from reading the article. I know blind programmers that can fly when compared to sighted programmers, so saying that we often fall behind simply is not true. In fact, this is exactly why a lot of programmers (me included) have our speech rate up well past 800 words a minute (so we don't fall behind).

I've familiarized myself with loads of codebases over the years, and I think present tooling is plenty sufficient. VSCode is now fully accessible, meaning blind people now have access to a mainstream IDE. We also have tools for our screen readers to help us code better. As you mentioned, indentation with tones, and a handy little add-on called Indent Nav, that lets you treat indented code like a tree view.

This feels like another case of the Quorum programming language (obviously being a tool instead of a language), but same concept. A bunch of researchers that did some searching into how blind people code, and decided to make a hole new tool, without checking if alternatives are accessible/already exist. I appreciate the intent, but this is a really long winded way of saying no, I don't think its that useful.

@TheQuinbox Thank you so much for that context. Is IndentNav an add-on? And yes, some of the framing and assertions in this article were uncomfortable to read.

@Quin

in reply to ChanceyFleet

Quin

in reply to ChanceyFleet 3 years ago

eet@mas.to Yep, indent-nav is an NVDA add-on. Basically the way it works is this: if I'm in a text field, on a function, called do_work, and there's a function right below it, called work_harder, I can press alt+NVDA+down arrow to jump down to that function, and alt+NVDA+up arrow to jump back to where I was previously. It skips all the indentation between, and gives me audible feedback to indicate this. It also changes how long this sequence of sounds goes on for to reflect how much code I've skipped over, and how indented it is. Perhaps an audio demonstration would allow me to explain the feedback a bit better.

Now, lets say I want to go into the do_work function, but just see what's on the first indentation level. So, I press alt+NVDA+right arrow, and I'm put inside it (moved to the next block with more indentation than my current line). I can then use the aforementioned commands of NVDA+Alt+up/down to navigate statements, and I can keep doing this to find what I want really quickly. Its remarkably similar to a tree view.

Also, because we now have access to VSCode, a mainstream IDE, we get so many more tools. Want to know what a function expects? Control+shift+space, and its spoken. Want to see a definition? F12, boom. Etc.

@TheQuinbox The fact that VS Code is fully accessible I believe is one of the best things that has happened to blind programming for a really, really long time. I think it's almost impossible to overstate just how great it actually is, and how receptive the team is to suggestions and ideas. I've been programming for much longer than VS Code has been around, but nowadays I can't really imagine going without it.
Other IDE's like Jetbrains stuff and Visual Studio are also accessible, as well as XCode, but so far, none of them beat VS Code. Especially with features like outline explorer, which I end up using much more than I expected, the sounds for errors on a line and folded code and so on that just come with VS Code out of the box and automatically get enabled if you're using a screen reader, the fact that hints like parameter hints, auto completion, the actual errors, etc. all get read, it's great. I would never want to miss it.
I see some really cool new ideas happening with code editing nowadays, but sadly, none of them seem to take accessibility as seriously as VS Code.
Sorry if I didn't add too much to the thread. I just wanted to rave about how awesome I think VS Code is.
As for languages, most of them are quite workable. I personally get lost in symbol noise, so I like a little bit of explicitness, but I know people who're the exact opposite of me, so I believe we have opinions that are based on quite similar things as sighted programmers. I don't think blindness has ever prevented me from using and enjoying a language. And if everything else fails, screen readers usually have quite capable speech altering support through the use of word or phrase dictionaries, symbol processing, etc. So you can customize it how you'd like. Things like turning "semicolon" into "semi", "left/right brace" into lace or race, () into NoParams instead of (left parenthesis right parenthesis", "exclamation mark" into "bang", etc etc.

@talon @TheQuinbox Still haven't gotten used to VSCode yet. Tried it a few times, but always having to mess with browse mode or non-browse mode with NVDA and alot new keystrokes to learn distracted me from the actual coding work that I put it aside and continued as usual. I still have it on my todo list though, will have to get to it some day, although i'd really love to see a productivity list somewhere (all keystrokes gathered etc).

@ToniBarth for NVDA, there are settings under settings, browse mode. Automatic focus mode for focus changes, and automatic focus mode for caret movement. If you disable all this automatic stuff, it will stay in whatever mode you put it. Then add that to a configuration profile that activates for VS Code, and it should give you a lot less trouble.

@fireborn Probably not that hard, actually. AXTextField and AXTextArea totally expose the content of each line. You can use simple string manipulation to determine the indentation. Indent-beeper did it, actually. Not sure on the license of that code, but you could at least look at it for a general idea. I'm not sure, however, if you get all the lines as an iterator/table, so you can loop over them. Sounds like a good use for Obj-Info :).

That said, I don't really need it on the Mac. In TextMate, the symbols mode on the Rotor lets me fly between functions, and that's typically all I need to do. For those times when I need to do more, though, a Hammerspoon version would be extremely useful

Did I already point out how cool the mastodon-archive tool is? I just had to post a follow-up to a toot from several days ago. But how to find it? Pick the next best open terminal window, type "mastosearch <searchTerm>" – et voila, less than a second later I have it, thanks to my daily cron-driven-updated archive

Still not a single volunteer to give the RPM or DEB package of the great mastodon-archive tool a try and report back?

@selea seems to be similar with RMP. In one docu I found a "VCS:" field mentioned but not described (in the block with source details), no other reference so far (so I do not even know the syntax; the URL alone would not do, one would need the protocol as well). So unleyy someone can tell me, I'd rather go without. URL to the repo is provided, so 🤷‍♂️

@bashley Yupp, expected behaviour on 20.04. Check in /usr/share/doc/mastodon-archive/contrib (the Readme gives you some background) to run upgrade_python-mastodon.sh as root. 20.04 ships a too old version of the Mastodon.py – that script replaces the corresponding files from PyPi.

We decided to not depend on a specific version to not lock folks out, but rather provide this helper. If you got no hint, please open an issue so it can be added. Thanks!

So I was checking my logs and people report me to me all the time, but I got a report from mas.to, who has defederated with me, which is fine, but what was said got my attention.

They called me racist and said I didn't use content warnings for my content, which we've discussed at length this week, and how entitled it is. We all know that's just white people shit.

But they say I attack people. This is a bald-faced lie. If you look at every single one of my contentious moments with other users on here, they come at me. I don't attack people. I defend myself. 100% of the time. I do not go after people. That's not my thing, and I have zero interest in the lives of bigots and people who just don't like me for whatever reason.

Earlier in the week, I talked about how much understanding there is for bigotry and hate on the fedi but that isn't extended to it's targets.

The situation is with mas.to is a perfect example of this.

I would urge caution for anyone who interacts with that instance as they've shown a tolerance for bigotry but none for people who are harassed and targeted by it.

I can understand that Tutanota cannot use a client application from third parties because of security reasons, but then it should improve a lot the usability, I am missing basic things like changing fonts, or adding more than one email signature, grouping contacts, etc... is there a development roadmap for addressing this "basic" features?

Kia ora toot friends. (Hello in Māori language)
Tonight I am bringing some #transport, #bikes, #cycling, #urbanism and #antiCar #memes.
I hope you enjoy them and are radicalised like I am. Once you start seeing how we've been trapped by #carDependency you cannot unsee it again.
Let's fight for space for people, cities that are walkable, accesible, clean, green and safe.
Of course, please contribute your own memes to the thread and also radicalise your family, workmates and friends!

Probably my personal favourite one is this extremely text heavy Simpsons #meme.
I love it because it suddenly questions our assumptions of how normal it is to move about our cities, and it also highlights how wasteful and inefficient #cars are.
Our cities can be very quiet and clean if we move in our feet, or bikes or scooters.
Cars are noisy dangerous and dirty. We should make cities where we need to use them as little as possible.

Simpsons character Principal Seymour stands in front of the broken window wondering:
Is it a problem that I'm trying to move through a crowded city with a sofa, two armchairs, four lighting clusters, four suspension assemblies, four wheels, a large engine, a hi-fi, 80 litres of liquid storage, 500 litres of dry cargo storage, 2 metres of exhaust pipe, three mirrors, eight square metres of carpet, and 1.5 tonnes of glass and steel?

No, it's people on bicycles who are wrong.

In our unquestioning worship of the #automobile, we have built cities that are hostile to people!
Cities OF people that are hostile TO people! How ridiculous is that?
This image is a classic and it illustrates how most of our #carCentric spaces feel for humans on their feet, for kids wanting to play, for our disabled whānau trying to live a normal life.
We can do better! We have done better for our whole history. It's really the last century or so where we allowed cars to take over everything.

Illustration of a city street where the streets are gaping cliffs that disappear in their depth. Narrow sidewalks are on the sides of the vertical gaps. A board plank dangles as someone tries to cross the road. It feels dangerous and precarious.

And yet we've bought into this idea that a car is indispensable. A basic need for our lives.
A big metal box that spends over 90% of its existence just sitting there, waiting for us. Using up valuable space in our streets, gardens, parks, houses.
Spaces we could use to play, plant, socialise, exercise or really anything else is devoted to the storage of a box that most of us use for an hour or two.

Cartoon titled 24 hours in the life of a private car. There's 24 panels showing the yellow car just parked there, still. Life happens around the car, people walk, cats pass by, someone rides a bike and the car just stays there. Only in one square (11am) it is gone. In one of the first panels the little car says "My favourite thing to do is chill out." in the last panel the car says "Chilling can get pretty boring, however."
On average, private vehicles are used just 1 hour a day.

But we've adopted #CarCulture so deeply that for many, an attack on cars in general feels like a personal attack. Any attempt to reclaim space in our cities for #bicyles, #people, #parks or children feels like a loss that needs to be stopped and defended against.
Often ignoring the reality that our urban built environment (and much of the rural building too) is completely car centric.

Cartoon of a city full of cars and parking everywhere. A family on bikes is being scolded by a lady who stepped out of her car. She says "If you take this parking for a bike lane, where will I park my car?! You're not considering MY needs."

Cars take up unnecessary space when they are moving too!
In a cruel reflection of the class hierarchies we've created for society we prioritise space in our roads for the single most inefficient users. Effectively devoting a limited resource (#transit capacity) in who uses it in the most wasteful way possible, a privilege of owning a car. We struggle with city councils to get scraps of sometimes temporary space for buses or bikes.
And yet this space is not enough. It will never be enough.

A cartoon showing a transversal cut of road users. Furthest to the left some people crowd in a small bus stop. Next to them a cyclist squeezes through. Next to him a whole bunch of people are crowded together in a bus, squeezed next to each other. In the right side we see a single man comfortably sitting at the wheel of his empty car. He says "Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking all the space!"

Space for cars can never be enough because of the natural rules of geometry and maths.
You cannot move that many people in their individual boxes. It is inefficient, wasteful and really at some point just plain impossible.
The #car is quite unique in the way that it is a mode of #transport that really quickly becomes worse the more people use it.

Aerial photo of a road next to light rail. There's a traffic jam and a train passing next to it. Numbers have been added to reflect the occupancy in each vehicle. All cars stuck in traffic have either a 1 or a 2 above them. The train has two carriages, each with 145 people in them.

But true to form, we have refused to learn from the last few decades of #motorway development.
#InducedDemand is the phenomenon that explains that the more lanes we build, the more cars will be out driving on them. That's why widening #roads, adding more lanes ends up being a temporary relief, if anything, and quickly reverts to traffic jams, potentially worse than the ones we had to start with.

Cartoon illustration of 4 panels. Each of them has a motorway with a traffic jam. Two lanes of traffic on the first, 4 lanes on the second, 6 lanes on the third. Someone says "finally a highway with 8 lanes" in the 4th panel. All of them are absolutely clogged and a cloud of pollution floats in front of each.

City governments, urban developers, fossil fuel companies, #road builders and car manufacturers have created a self reinforcing ecosystem, where they all get wealthier by depending on each other. Convincing us of the lie that we do need one more lane. This is the one that will fix everything. This bypass, this new road, this expansion, once we get it done #traffic will be solved. For good.
But it is never true and yet we try again, hoping for the silver bullet in the next lane we build.

#CarBrain is what happens when we let our #cars become our identities. When we prioritise cars over the lives of the people who surround us, of our own children.
Car Brain is the reason why #jaywalking even exists as a concept. Car Brain is a group project that the automobile industry has been working on for decades, and they have successfully installed it in most of us.

There is a lot to unpack about #CarBrain. But this gif is a decent summary.
Mainly its the idea that Cars = Freedom, but in a bad way. If you lose your car you lose your freedom.
The idea that your car is your identity, your livelihood. One of your biggest expenses and sources of stress, too. You should get that noise checked, is the engine working properly?
Everyone else outside your car is an enemy, they're slowing you down, they'll scratch your paint. Road rage.

#Motorists seem to be angry by default. And that's of course quite bad.
They are angry at other drivers, angry at pedestrians, angry at #buses, angry at potholes and traffic jams.
But the worst of all their anger is usually directed at #cyclists.
We can't seem to get it right. Always in the wrong place, too slow and too fast at the same time.

This culture of anger that #CarCulture encourages has a very high cost. Lives are lost everyday inside and out of cars, but we've convinced ourselves that this is the only way to live. There's nothing we can do and these lives must be sacrificed in the altar of the #car.

Cars ruin cities. Cars ruin public transport, our health and our very lives.

We've built streetscapes that centre and prioritise cars before everything else. And then we wonder why kids don't play outside anymore, why they can't be independent.
Entire parks, playgrounds, homes and other amenities have been demolished since the 50s to make space for parking and motorways and service stations.
The cult of the #car has robbed us even of childhood.

Older folks wonder why don't kids go outside anymore?

Once you start seeing how much space we sacrifice for #cars, you can't unsee it. They have taken over our cities completely.
And they feel entitled and justified to every single space available. Given a chance, anything becomes a parking spot.
And if you dare speak up about it or oppose it, #motorists respond immediately with aggression, violent threats, racism and sometimes actual violence.
Don't dare advocate for a cycle lane, some space in the footpath for a wheelchair user, or a stroller.

Now we know that we are in a #ClimateCrisis. We know both that urgent action is crucial and that transport (our cars mainly) are an important source of our emissions.
So they sell us an answer: #ElectricCars.
But although they are part of the answer. They are nowhere near the silver bullet we're told they will be. And other, more important and effective solutions are ignored meanwhile. Like #bicycles and #publicTransport

Comic strip, 4 panels.
1st panel: in the National Electric vehicle summit a speaker in a lectern says to a crowd "We need safeguard mechanisms and debate around luxury car taxes..."
2nd panel: a different speaker on the same lectern says:"we should ramp up our investment in battery material mining..."
3rd panel: A third speaker says "Tougher emissions standards and charging infrastructure are essential..."
4th panel: the speaker continues talking in the background, the crowd ignoring everything else but the speaker who says "it's the simplest way to lower our travel emissions." In the foreground, ignored by all, a mother zooms past on her cargo bike, with two kids and a grocery bag on board.

While it's true that #EVs have dramatically lower emissions when compared to combustion engines, that is only part of the problem.
EVs do not solve congestion, or road mortality (they might be worse as they tend to be heavier).
The production of batteries is very unsustainable and the need for charging infrastructure creates a new set of issues that need to be addressed in our public space. Essentially they need MORE of our cities.

EVs are here to save the automobile industry, not the planet.

When measured by energy required to move people around, it's obvious that the real game changer in the EV field is not a Tesla, or even a car (although microcars come closer). The revolution here is the #ebike.
It's cheaper, safer, more efficient, more fun and it makes users healthier and happier. Although it also shares the problem of sustainability for battery production, the scale of this issue for ebikes is drastically reduced (close to 100x)
And the charging infrastructure already exists.
