@bitprophet If the Python exercises are any indication, it’s a lot of volunteer-maintained code that could use a few more professionally-minded volunteers.
Not that it’s bad by any means, but it really makes you aware of how many practices have become ingrained when you’re exposed to code that doesn’t know them.

@jmac I don’t know the cause but I have experienced that sound and air pressure experience you described on multiple flights.
My joke at the time was “ghosts,” but more likely a storage compartment that’s less pressurized than the bulk of the cabin.

tl;dw: use OKLAB not RGB or HSL. There’s even oklab() in CSS now.
