I’ve got a friend who has done the same thing. He spent 30 years in the tech industry before getting laid off a few years ago. After fruitless efforts looking for another job programming he became a bus driver and is so much happier for it. Now he’s a couple of years from retirement and getting a pension from the state.

Alton Brown on YouTube for his recent stuff. Good Eats for his original show.

Teaches why you do stuff and not just what to do.

I know you said three songs but Ghost Love Score by Nightwish is 10 minutes long and is basically 3 songs in one

My city celebrates pride during July so it’s right on time still

I’m so pissed about it, but I’m only one vote…

At least NYC got some more progressive candidates in.

Not just country but world now. Their K-8 program is a great entry into STEM as it is both an engineering challenge with the robot game and also the project that comes along with it (usually to design or organize around a certain challenge or theme).

FIRST also does a great job with their core values. They attempt to instill what they call Gracious Professionalism in everything that the program does. Basically, FIRST can be looked at as a program that tries to build good, competent people through the mechanism of a robot competition. In fact, the highest level award in the program is based around the impact that a team has on their community rather than how well a teams robot performs.

I might be a little biased, however, as I’ve been involved with the program (in the high school level competition) for about 17 years now. I know there are other programs out there that offer similar levels of STEM training, but none that build up people in the same fashion.

Something to keep in mind with VEX is that they just split with the organization that runs all of their competitions, so there’s likely changes coming soon. Also, the company itself has had some… Culture issues, so I personally try to avoid using their products where possible.

It’s okay. I’ve got a few side projects in node and I also don’t see anything too out of the ordinary here. If anything this looks more like someone’s first project with some “make it work” rather than being perfect and pretty.

I don’t understand the hostility. Even the bits that this guy talks about (duplicated code?) nothing looked duplicated - sure the names of the folders are the same but that’s more of a naming convention problem when you have a client that needs to connect to servers (or in this case has screens and functionality to connect to servers).

And now I’ve probably spent more time and brainpower on this than I should have just because I was confused.

I’m unsure as to why or how, but my cat has different chitters for each type of bird or creature that he’s watching. The volume is also dependent on the size of the creature, so sparrows get a decently quiet “ch-ch-ch” sounds, while crows get a louder more crow-like “cha” sound.

The morning that he was making really loud unusual chirping was the morning that there was a set of vultures on the neighbors roof that he was watching.

Usually, though, I can reasonably identify the bird even if I’m in a different room.

My friends are now into running archipelago randomizer worlds so I’ve been playing Pokemon Emerald and Fire Red together with my friends who are playing Tunic and Satisfactory.

Super pleased with how smoothly archipelago works and how much effort modders have put in to keep it that way.

I am considering buying factorio to play as well. It’s so much fun to add a multiplayer aspect to single player games while also essentially adding infinite replayability because every game is different.

I don’t think I said that OP was wrong (in fact I’m pretty sure I agreed with OP that it was annoying as a fully abled user until I figured out what was going on), but to elaborate on my earlier point just slightly - once a horizontal slider element is in focus it will always use left and right arrow keys to move if they’re pressed. Up and down always works to change the volume because there are no other elements when the video player is selected that are waiting for an input.

If they made the volume slider vertical instead of horizontal it would end up working actually better in this case (because the vertical slider would instead wait for up and down arrows), although that probably wouldn’t look as “nice”, but I’m not a UX dev so it could probably be jazzed up to look nice.

This is an accessibility function and happens because the volume slider has focus. If they made it so that left and right arrow keys always moved the video forward/backward it would break that accessibility and shut some users off from being able to use the website.

As annoying as it might be to someone who has full use of their mouse and keyboard it is imperative that websites can have all of their functionality accessed through something as simple as tab and arrow keys because that’s all that some people are able to use.

Note that I’m in your boat and find it to be annoying and just something to remember to unfocus after changing my volume, but having just recently been going through some accessibility training I can understand why this happens.
