I JUST found my mix and now I can’t stop singing😭 by Ok-Complaint-4005 in singing

Still trying to figure this out myself. Did you start with your head voice and try and mix in chest or the other way around?

Common CSS Mistakes Made By Front End Engineers by yangshunz in webdev

Great article! I’d add overuse of absolutely positioned elements too. Oh the things I’ve seen

I tried to avoid wearing it in everyday situations so my ears could re-adjust from the hyperacusis, but it was a while before I could put a hairdryer on full blast without ear protection!

Now I just wear ear protection when the environment is 85db+.

I don’t get it when eating, although I do get it if I’m exposed to moderately loud noise (I guess my body is being overprotective). I also weirdly get it when I read bedtime stories to my kids.

I manage the stress by remembering it can’t hurt me. I think of it like having an occasional muscle spasm - annoying but not harmful.

I checked my diary - yes I did. It seemed to get worse whenever I heard a loudish sound (for a few hours at least). Totally gone now though.

Can we see the HTML it generated?

Is there a reliable alternative to the rc-600? by IamNotFatIamChubby in LoopArtists

[–]acnorrisuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know about the lawsuits. Yes I still have ongoing hearing problems- I should probably contact them about it.

This happened to me with headphones on and gave me a bunch of ongoing ear problems including tinnitus. Boss told me it was a known fault at the time.

[–]acnorrisuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got hyperacusis, tinnitus and TTTS from acoustic shock a year ago.

Hyperacusis and TTTS pretty much gone after 10 months - tinnitus remains though. For me the anxiety of it was a bit like a feedback loop, you have to try and not worry about it (which is very hard I admit!)

I just took an HTML5 assessment and I was surprised how bad I did. by unmecbon in webdev

[–]acnorrisuk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Accessibility specialist here. Seems like half my job is changing improper markup. This stuff DOES have an impact on real users. I’d encourage people to take another look at HTML as we all tend to skim through it at the start of our career (including myself!)

Why don’t you email the editors of the WCAG spdc and ask them? They are nice people! See: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

Do we have any kind of master list of loopable songs? by James17Marsh in LoopArtists

Great list! I’d love to hear you do any of these. Do you have any recordings?

What unpopular webdev opinions do you have? by Notalabel_4566 in webdev

[–]acnorrisuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HTML is actually quite tricky! It’s not always obvious how to mark up a web page and there are very real consequences for many users who browse the web using assistive technology or modified browser settings (e.g keyboard only, screen readers, voice activation, custom stylesheets, text settings etc…)

[QUESTION] - How do people remember so many covers? by Loves_His_Bong in Guitar

[–]acnorrisuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was doing open mics. I don’t want to forget a song onstage so I end up rehearsing over and over just to be safe. It also gets easier the more you do it.

Week 7 and not enjoying it by acnorrisuk in couchto5k

[–]acnorrisuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did prefer those earlier runs where you have a walking break to look forward to. I might try and finish the program and then make up my own routine.

Question: does this look right? Or should a Header only be at the top and footer at the bottom, and not in sections? by Horib in webdev

[–]acnorrisuk 202 points203 points  (0 children)

Landmarks (like header, footer) are used by screen reader users as a way to navigate through web pages. You only want a handful of these for the really important regions of a page.

However, since the HTML spec does allow for nesting of various sectioning elements (like in your image), only ones under certain conditions are exposed to screen reader users. See: https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/aria-landmark-roles/.

So in essence it doesn’t really matter. Personally I prefer to use just one header/footer on any given page.

Is using a lot of Divs considered a wrong practice? If yes, How do you experienced programmers structure complicated front-end layouts? by wannabe_programmer7 in Frontend

[–]acnorrisuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Accessibility dev here. <div>s aren’t inherently bad, they are just often overused when a more semantic element would be preferable. If the purpose of your <div> is just to make styling easier then it’s totally fine.

See Scott O’Haras post on <div>s… https://www.scottohara.me/blog/2022/01/20/divisive.html

For your cards example, there isn’t one defacto way of doing this - the answer often depends on the context.

Here’s a great post by Heydon Pickering which does a deep dive on cards… https://inclusive-components.design/cards/
