I'm so pissed about it, but I'm only one vote...

At least NYC got some more progressive candidates in.

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.

It's just the Dewey Decimal System, so you could look up whatever topic you like to find what it would be classified under. There's thousands of topics that are covered here - there's a reason it's used for every non-fiction clarification in a library - that would be far too numerous to list on a single shelf listing. This library has chosen to prioritize the awkward questions as a way to help someone who otherwise may not know how to get help.

Alternatively, most libraries have a catalogue you can search by keyword and it will give you book results which will let you know where they are on the shelves. But again, that requires you to know that the catalogue exists and how to use it. It's always going to be easier to ask a librarian, who can make sure you find something to help.

I have a guy whose house is like this except he also has a Ukraine flag hung unironically on his house next to all the maga Trump flags, and it breaks my brain when I try to think about it.

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.

The Lioness Quartet and the Protector of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce may fit the bill here. They may be aimed more at a teen audience, but both are about girls needing to prove themselves in the face of a lot of adversity.

These books helped to shape my worldview when I was younger and they hold a very special place in my heart.

For the Ohtani clock thing you could think of it that way. When all you're doing is pitching you come out from the dugout and immediately start warming up for your half of the inning. If you're getting ready to bat you've got some gear on that takes a minute to take off. A minute lost from the normal warm up timer may be considered too much time (that may compromise safety), so they add a little bit of time to allow for that case. The same would be done for any pitcher that is also a batter or position player, but that is a fairly rare occurrence so it doesn't come up very often.

As far as the hitting of the batter is definitely suspect to throw inside three times in a row, but just on game state there's no reason to hit that batter in that situation. The only reason that warnings were even issued (in my opinion) was as a result on the bench clearing, not the hit batter in a vacuum.

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.

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.

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.
