Thank you, I'll email you. Apple's Assistive Access is a good step in the right direction IMHO. Yet as you describe there's a very strange mismatch between the software and actual users…

Exactly right. You're making my point for me. :-) Oracle can now say it has one solution, whereas with IBM the attention is split between Terraform and OpenTofu. If you're an enterprise cus…

It's even better when you see the logo is made of 8 switches. In other words, 8 bits that make a byte. I'm a former Sun employee and loved that logo so much.

If you want a small stepping stone toward Versus, you can add Rust debug_assert for preconditions and postconditions; the Rust compiler strips these out of production builds by default. Example from t…

Sure does look horrific. :-) That's because it's the same code from 2008, long before Ruby had the Unicode handlers. In fact it's the same code as for many other programming languages, …
