What's the benefit of Liquibase over Flyway? I've been using Flyway and find it pretty nice. I enjoy being able to write migration as properly named sql scripts and not dealing with XML.

I'm not concerned about the server. If the performance were good and Microsoft's built in Narrator screen reader worked well with vscode I could use an arm computer for all my hobby programming now. I don't know how well Narr

Does anyone know if there custom OS has a screen reader? I'm totally blind and this is priced at the point where I'd like to play with it assuming it's usable for me.

Assuming there was an open source version of Windows 7 Microsoft would have to make Windows 10 much worse before I'd consider switching to it. WSL has bought me a lot of good will toward Microsoft. It probably helps that I'm blind

The fact that I can't tab to the cURL, Python, etc options when using Jaws doesn't fill me with confidence. I realize this may be because of the SaaS platform you chose but it still doesn't reflect particularly well on the de

I'm not sure if accessibility is something you focused on or if you just got lucky but according to this thread I need to give insomnia a try since Postman is not concerned with making there software even marginally usable if your blin

I've found Mybatis[1] to be a better alternative to Hibernate. At least with the version I was using you had to do complex mapping in XML instead of annotations which isn't great but I'll make the trade-off to avoid the ORM.

Often blindness is one of many disabilities a child may have. If a child is severely impaired basic skills such as the ability to dress and feed them selves are a lot more important then the ability to read braille. I’d like to see these st

Were you born blind or did you lose your vision later in life? I was born totally blind and grew up as computers became accessible. While I don’t use braille much now, I don’t understand how someone born blind can have basic literacy using

Although I like R I always felt like it was slow. Glad to get evidence of this.

I have the latest Windows insiders build on a spare machine. I've found all the aws tooling including SAM works pretty well under WSL 2 now that WSL uses a true Linux kernel.

I am blind and depend on the sound of cars a lot. When crossing busy streets I listen for traffic patterns to let me know what light is green and red. On less busy streets I listen for individual cars. There are not a lot of electric cars a

What are the odds that this will support 1080p streaming with Plex? I've tried Plex on a Pi 3 using a Roku as a player with 1080p and it's a complete failure. Plex tries to encode everything even if native playback to the Roku is

In fairness to Microsoft they have been doing a lot of work with Narrator. I am posting this reply using it with Chrome on a windows insider build.

Yes, I use Jaws for Windows. I also make heavy use of WSL for command-line stuff.

I'm a totally blind developer and I find the easiest way to do code reviews is to use git format-patch on the branch containing the code. I read the patch files in a text editor. Perhaps comments in the pull request referencing a commi

As a blind user I don't want an easy way for websites or add tracking code to know if I'm using a screen reader. If this feature has to exist then it should be a site by site option that is disabled by default. I can then make the

Maybe Apple should take accessibility more seriously then? I'm a Voiceover user on iOS and accessibility has been regressing recently. Two examples I can think of include the fact that in the last several releases of iOS Voiceover can

If your electrical wiring is not super old and you are OK with transfer speeds between 100MBPS and 1GBPS consider powerline ethernet adaptors instead of running Ethernet cable depending on the difficulty of your runs. I have 100 MBPS intern

Just gave this another look and the sliders do work with my screen reading software which is an improvement. As far as I can tell the page up and down keys don't move in larger increments. Home and end don't move to the top or bot

Are the sliders keyboard accessible? I use Jaws for Windows as my screen reading software and am unable to adjust the price slider in either Firefox or Chrome.

So just because this specific person has an issue that doesn't allow them to use a Chromebook they should make a blanket statement that they are inaccessible? I'm totally blind and have had a Chromebook for several years. I got it

I got the Macbook air 6 years ago because it was the best windows ultrabook you could get at the time. Once WSL came out I rarely used OSX. WSL has drasticaly increased my productivity and basically made Windows 10 a completely new OS.

I'm curious if there are any blind programmers who prefer OSX to Windows when it comes to screen reading software. I used to own a Mac and found Voiceover easy to get started with, but not very efficient compared to Jaws for Windows. I

ON windows I always manually set the volume of itunes much lower then the system volume. I assume you can do this on OSX. I find this a lot better then using audio ducking. It's jarring to have the music volume increase when I am think
