That's the fun thing about C---everybody knows enough to be dangerous!

I love working with shell, too; my only significant non-C program is in POSIX shell: codeberg.org/dgoodmaniii/makeb… And while it doesn't have C's footguns, it's idiosyncratic enough to need some creative thought, hence my enjoyment of it. But what I like best in shell is having to put together other programs in interesting ways. It's why I learned sed and awk! Which I use a *lot* in Makefiles now, too.

I read through some of that code. It is very well written, and I especially like the use of command -v. Lots of people use which, and that’s fine, but I’ve always used command -v as well.

I wonder if you might be interested in helping me with bashtml? It’s a fork of bashblog that adds support for plugins. I have some other ideas I want to do with it, but without someone who can see to make sure the pages aren’t messed up visually, I worry that I might break it for everyone except screen reader users lol.

I was wondering what happened to the beautiful Japanese actress in The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Her name is Koyuki, and her Wikipedia entry led me to a manga about a career woman who takes in a young man as her pet. Koyuki starred in the TV version of this.

*sigh*

Just because someone claims a _thing_ is “accessible” does not make it so.

Failing WCAG, the bare minimum, can be confirmed with a quick automated check: nested interactives (1.3.1/4.1.2), not dismissable (1.4.13), hidden items get focus (2.4.7), state not conveyed (4.1.2), heading mismatch (1.3.1/2.4.6).

This demonstrates why CSS-only widgets are inaccessible: adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-…

#a11y #accessibility

Email: CodePen Spark. Glowing Dropdowns, Three.js Tile, and Many Challenges Accepted. This week's CodePen community highlights include a trio of glowing dropdown menus crafted with accessibility in mind by REDACTED, a truly trippy Three.js recreation of azulejos tile from Tom Hinton, and CodePen community responses to a design challenge from Edoardo Mercati, a CSS riddle challenge from Kevin Powell's YouTube channel, and our very own #CodePenChallenge.
Chrome dev tools open to show the menu is made up of a div with tabindex holding a button, no aria-expanded, a CSS variable of --a11y, and an accessible name made up of the text from all the nested nodes instead of just the visible label.

CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible

Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.

I have officially found a way to solve all the focus mode issues on Orca. If you're in an app such as semaphore and you're going to be for some time, this is worth doing. Press Orca f12 to make the application control the caret, then press orca Z to disable structural navigation. Now the app you're using has full control of everything and Orca just reads stuff. Although I find myself unable to change those shortcuts, as I'd personally like to be able to press orca R, then orca Z to snap into this state quickly. #Accessibility #Linux

@fireborn That's true, but for stuff like browsers where you kind of want to use structural navigation and stuff like that, it's better to do it this way when you're in a web app in a browser. As far as I know Orca won't detect the window title and go yep let's automatically disable these things.

Les arrestations abusives se multiplient. L'immense majorité des gardes à vue débouchent sur des classements sans suite, ce qui conduit des avocats à y voir une volonté de dissuader d'aller manifester. lemonde.fr/societe/article/202… La #LDH exige la fin de ces pratiques : chng.it/qPtDBZGSMf

Réforme des retraites : pour Elias, Charlène et Etienne, l’interminable garde à vue de la nuit du 16

Would you miss Twitter if it were gone? What would you say at Twitter’s funeral?

We are researchers at University of Colorado Boulder conducting a survey about how people think about the role of Twitter in their lives, given recent changes to the platform. If you are at least 18 years old and a current or former user of Twitter, we’d love to hear from you! (And feel free to share!) internetruleslab.com/twitter-e…

really loving the super heavy drone interpretation in this recording of sibelius 5 from bostom syphony orchestra 1975. the brass at ~9:20 or so made my skin crawl and my eyes roll into the back of my skull
watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=yw…

compare that to the way i usually hear it which is more like this at 8:18 where they hit it as a sforzando and then really back each of the brass instruments off of each other. the whole interpretation is a lot lighter and sparser
watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=RR…

that especially whips when you get to the big bad 3rd movement where it starts giving Ravel in its staggering dissonance, which really makes the famous final 6 chords hit. like can you imagine being in the audience for this just after WWI and you start getting music like this that just bathes you in discomfort vs. the more traditional romanticism that precedes it, the orchestra is like an unfathomably loud and powerful experience, consumer radio is just starting to exist, and you're in this WALL OF SOUND that is just BARELY hanging together and then get the rug pulled out from under you like 6 times.
eg. at 6:55 to the end -
watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=VI…

vs this where it feels like they're doing a much more traditional build to the final crescendo and rather than sort of marinating in the tension they sort of muddle through and the final chords just feel sort of like they messed something up
eg. at 29m 32s here -
watch.thekitty.zone/watch?v=RR…

The new stuff in the Twitter algorithm is wild.

"author_is_elon", "author_is_republican", "author_is_democrat", etc., are explicit terms that are special cased.

( "author_is_elon", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None).contains(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsElonFeature, 0L))), ( "author_is_power_user", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsVitsFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), ( "author_is_democrat", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsDemocratsFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), ( "author_is_republican", candidate => candidate .getOrElse(AuthorIdFeature, None) .exists(candidate.getOrElse(DDGStatsRepublicansFeature, Set.empty[Long]).contains)), )

Spatial audio is an epic thing, but it can be hard to track down the music in your library that has been upgraded to it. I came across an accessible app called Music Tracker that will regularly scan your library and produce a playlist of all the music in it that is in Spatial Audio. Just the thing if you, like me, wanna crank up your spatial audio-capable Sonos gear on the Apple Music. There is a charge for this app. apps.apple.com/app/id106258371…

‎Music Library Tracker

‎Music Library Tracker keeps an eye on your music library and automatically monitors additions, deletions, and any changes to your songs as well as upgrades to Spatial Audio.
