I just reevaluated. I moved to another supplier (hello cloudflare). I suspect I have been a customer for more than 15 years. Possibly even longer. Way longer. 2 decades? I was a VIP member too - whatever "cred" that holds. Account now closed.

As a partially sighted user this is fantastic news.

Yes, it is RP. I have no recollection of ever seeing in the dark.

I'm blind (at night). I would dearly love to the stars. In fact, this is pretty close to my #1 on my bucket list.

The inaccessible comment is somewhat ironic. If the display of the ASCII craft is in a terminal at least I have some control over the font size and, in particular, the background colour.

Thanks for the link - was really interesting, particularly the introduction which explains why accessibility is so important and the number of people that it touches.

frobware | 10 years ago | on: I switched to Android after 7 years of iOS

Sadly, the web is an accessibility nightmare. If that changes, then sure, I could move too. But there's a lot that modern versions of iOS get right regarding accessibility, stuff that I wish google/android would do too.

Looks like you got the same email as I just did. How weird is that!

frobware | 11 years ago | on: Go is moving to GitHub

Nice summary; thank you. I don't know why people put up with the merge commit pollution. Great to see Go taking the best of both worlds.

Please could you elaborate on the arm64 compiler. Is there a repo somewhere, etc?
