Into making websites.

Came here to say this. CodeIgniter was mind blowing, and gave me that a-ha moment: "So this is how advanced sites are built".

Is the red torso all one piece? Looks really big. Regardless, would love to see a video on the methods you use to print big things.

I had a smart plug working great for around 5 years till recently when I needed to reset it. Had to download an app, reset my password, accept new T&Cs, and log in, all for it to still not work. Will be buying more Zigbee devices from now on to get around that. Keeps everything local

Do not ever EVER forget that live Twitter stream where he tried to claim the stack needed a complete rewrite and an ex-Twitter eng asked for details, which he could not provide and tried to dance around the question he could not answer. That was pure internet gold.

Oh my god, I think this works. Thanks so much!

Anyone know if zen has a mod/setting that remaps the Ctrl + Tab keys? The default is to cycle through tabs in the order they appear in the sidebar, but I love the Arc implementation where it will cycle through based on opened most recently. Easier to get back to the page that opened a new tab.

The use case I just gave you necessitates that. An SR user cycling through lists won't have the context of the headings before if not linked with an aria-labelledby. Sighted users do have that visual context when scanning for a list

Despite all that, if we use an h2 linked to an aria-labelledby on the ul to label it instead, then it would be valid and necessary, even in your example. And if an aria-labelledby is valid on an element then surely so is an aria-label, even if only technically and not philosophically. 🤷‍♂️

An SR user would need to cycle through those other lists before getting to the page contents, so its not quite as easy to find what they're looking for. Adding the aria-label makes sense to give them a hint that sighted users get via the visual context.

In my contrived example maybe, but not generally. A sighted user might be able to see a list at the top of an article and easily interpret that as the page contents list, despite there being other lists in the markup that come before that... [continued]
