Nice job to YahooFantasy in creating inaccessible Fantasy Baseball pages & app for blind users. Reports are that the interface is full of issues. I guess they dropped all of their accessibility staff. Blind folk don’t like baseball. #blind #a11y
I’ve been using Codex @OpenAI this week. Created a couple of apps fast, but accessibility for screenreaders is a challenge. The Python & WPF apps got close, but the AI never got the keyboard commands or navigation complete. So close & yet.
5:45 and still nothing. Weather nerds say it could take another hour. This storm is hilarious. The radar looks like an unzipped jacket with the open space being dry.
As of 1:40PM, southwest Raleigh is still awaiting snow. What started as a potential 6-10 inches is now 1-3 inches. I’m thinking it is going to be a sneak attack. Cold wind & 20 degrees is all so far. The North Carolina bubble is real.
Winter storm thankfully produced sleet instead of ice. Sidewalks & steps are still a mess. Neighbors were clearing sidewalks yesterday but stopped short of our section. Sweet.
I added taping over our external door locks. Whenever we have wind & frozen precipitation, the locks stop working. Crazy what you think to do before a winter storm.
One local new channel has been talking the winter storm most of the day & there’s nothing to report.
I’ve filled up the 5 gallon water container in prep for the winter storm in NC. If North Carolina weather traditions hold, the storm will shift away from Raleigh. 🥶❄️
Posted a COBOL program dump & listing to Copilot to find the error. Copilot thought for 5 mins, speculated with no specific error. ChatGPT thought for 4 mins, provided & explained the specific error. #AIBattle
Nice job @nbc for providing audio description on @YouTubeTV for the #RoseParade. @ABCNetwork advertised it but there’s no descriptive audio. @Disney falls short.
