It is almost perfect for someone who doesn't want to self-host, but you have to use another commercial service

why am I even paying them, with Joplin I can also sync to Dropbox. And I still have to pay them even if I'm self hosting

I think Joplin is more single purpose since it doesn't focus on the server side, and is just a client

On OSX/iOS, if you don't care about markdown/open-source/self-hosting you should just use Apple Notes

Even if you pay 10$/mo, to use images you need to connect to a separate service which I thought was crazy

So I would need to host the standard files server, and also host my own webdav server in addition

I like Joplin and I run a seafile server as the webdav backend

assert on the call_count attribute of a mock instead of trying to use methods on it like .assert_called_once_with()

"a mock’s job is to say, “You got it, boss” whenever anyone calls it. It will do real work, like raising an exception, when one of its convenience methods is called, like assert_called_once_with. But it won’t do real work when you call a method that only resembles a convenience method, such as assert_called_once (no _with!)."

you can access it from object.__doc__, and there is tooling in ide's like pycharm to quick view them to see what a function does, auto generated documentation

prior to mypy/type hints it allowed you to document the types of a function

Wonder if the chording keyboard was an extension of stenotypes

The stenotype keyboard has far fewer keys than a conventional alphanumeric keyboard. Multiple keys are pressed simultaneously (known as "chording" or "stroking") to spell out whole syllables, words, and phrases with a single hand motion. This system makes real-time transcription practical for court reporting and live closed captioning. Because the keyboard does not contain all the letters of the English alphabet, letter combinations are substituted for the missing letters.

I want to run open source software, but this is the show stopper

I wonder what the difference is in pricing on the 0 day market. I think iOS was always more expensive until last year

true, but the written language is exactly the same.

taiwan has national health care, really good public transportation system, really liberal government (gay marriage recently) despite the low gdp. I would move there if they legalized weed which is sadly unlikely

now that hong kong is a part of the PRC, maybe they'll be forced to use the national language (mandarin) lol

I have been starting on the road to putting all of my transactions into beancount, pulled ofx data for chase and scraped pdfs for another bank account.

The idea of keeping records of everything is satisfying, but still need to do it.

Could you give me some details about how you started? I've glossed over the docs once, but hopefully I can just import everything, name it properly, and view it on Fava.

Is it possible to automatically generate tax documents?
