I hope it’s not spinning the bar. (I can’t tell from the video.)
It's not, It's doing snake shots.

How old is he?

(You know, I humbly accept the downvotes and all, but ... ... I really meant it in good faith: If he is tackling these sort of problems from his bedroom ... ... what can we expect of him futher down the road?)
Hopefully he'll automate something that will improve the quality of life for everyone.
Cynical prediction, he'll just make fun YouTube projects. And probably have better working conditions for himself.

I don't think that is true. If you run the Nginx web server on Linux for example, with a case sensitive file system, I'm pretty sure that the files you serve will also by default have case sensitive URLs. And probably it'd be the same with Apache on Linux with a case sensitive file system.
What? Case-sensitivity is the presumed default everywhere. I said there is no such problem in a browser, meaning, the url is displayed correctly, not converted to lower case, meaning, the problem is only in the app, and I'm suggesting: "Who needs a phone app for this anyway?"
Ah. I thought you meant that YouTube URLs was the problem. Your comment was pretty vague since both GitHub and YouTube are apps in the browser

The tables I've seen with one goalie have raised corners so that the ball doesn't get stuck there. You see it more on budget tables in my experience.
Or on official tables according to the International Table Soccer Federation. From what I've seen during my travels, there are lot of variations for foosball tables. Each countries seem to have their own variations.
Lots of different types. I have even once seen a XXL size in a bar (something like https://www.abbeyroadentertainment.com/rentals-and-services/...).

Thanks for taking the time.-
As someone who uses ellipsis often, but certainly never with sarcasm in mind, this was fascinating and shocking to me to learn this. I also want to appreciate @bluestein’s graceful response to the misunderstanding.
Least I could do :)
PS. Honestly also both fascinated and shocked to learn about the new use that ellipsis is finding. Color me surprised.-

I wonder if it has anything to do with the joke format, "that's a nice tie... not." which sets up the victim and then delivers a gut punch. Perhaps it has conditioned a skepticism towards ellipses.
I didn't interpret your comment as bad will, but I'm glad this opened an interesting conversation about language!

#79This is really great. It certainly could become a product. I'm sure plenty of rich, lonely people would love to have a foosball-playing robot. In fact who wouldn't??
Also, this whole thing sounds like a competitor to Stuff Made Here. In a sense this is what Youtube was invented for. Congrats.
