A <div> itself is treated as a generic, transparent box. It doesn't get keyboard focus, and it isn't added to the screen reader's elements list (like headings, links, or landmarks).

> I’ve usability tested and performed user research with many users needing assistive tools and I’ve used them myself as part of design.

Tell me how often screen readers announce divs that have no role attributes. You are continuing to spread misinformation

I feel like old-school frontend devs bring up accessibility as a kind of bogeyman.

It reminds me of the myth that CSS style X or Y breaks accessibility "because screen readers expect semantic CSS classes". Zeldman (of A List Apart) promulgated that disinformation for years, until someone actually told him screen readers don't work that way. 90% of people who use a11y as a rhetorical cudgel have never actually used AT themselves.

"You are an expert defense counsel with experience in Murder 1. Do not hallucinate. Let's say tomorrow my spouse is found strangled..."

Well, basically, the leader of the terrorists is the 43rd US president, who is a clone of a super soldier despite being ostensibly anti cloning in office. (Yes, he's Dubya). He's planning to detonate a nuclear weapon above Manhattan so an EMP field knocks out all communications. The reason being that the government has been taken over by a conspiracy called the Patriots who are using a sinister AI to filter all internet traffic

However Dubya has been double crossed by an old Russian guy who was infatuated with the super soldier Dubya was cloned from. He claims to be representing the Patriots but suddenly his arm comes to life, claiming to be Dubya's brother. Oh, by the way, he lost his arm and got a transplant from the body of the other clone, Dubya's brother. It's implied in this game to be a supernatural occurrence.

Ghost Dubya 2 (in the body of elderly Spetznaz guy) goes on a rampage and tries to kill everyone. Dubya and the anti terrorist specialist end up fighting on top of Federal Hall, which if you've ever been to Manhattan is just next to the NYSE and TJ Maxx.

When you're there the Patriots phone you and they claim to be dead. Well, not dead exactly. They claim that in the same way life emerged from organic chemicals, life has emerged from the neural net of ideology and content published on the internet. Kind of like if ChatGPT became a bit uppity. They claim that Western Civilization is too corrupt and contradictory to be left in the hands of humans. You have to kill Dubya who is somewhat of an anti hero and it's kind of sad

Eventually another brother of Dubya who is kind of the hero does some digging, and his bromance partner discovers that the Patriots were real people but they all died 100 years ago. Also they were funding the real heroes all along!

It makes a lot more sense in MGS4

We know from reverse engineering efforts, and accounts by developers on the PC port, that all of the mainline MGS games used a proprietary scripting system called GCX. This was effectively a Konami fork of TCL - see eg https://github.com/Jayveer/Gcx

Konami built a custom lighting format for at least MGS3 called LA2, and a proprietary audio format called SDT. So far these haven't been reverse engineered - the leak will definitely open up progress there.

    Sorry, you have been blocked

    Why have I been blocked?

    This website is using a security service to protect
    itself from online attacks. The action you just performed
    triggered the security solution. There are several action
    that could trigger this block including submitting a certain 
    word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

I think the point still stands - is this really a big problem? I guess I couldn't recite the syntax from memory, because I usually use a utility type for this

  type NewType<T, Name> = T & { readonly __brand: Name };

Phew!

(Being AI accelerated doesn't make this project low value. But it does mean _you_ didn't do the port so much as prompt it)

It means the CLI I am working on can ship support for many languages whilst still being a smallish (sub 50mb) download

I shall definitely check it out!

Are these pretty up-to-date grammars? I'm awfully tempted to switch to your project

How large are your binaries getting? I was concerned about the size of some of the grammars

I want to see (sincerely) a whole government ditch MS

And why is the error bar so large?

His style is acerbic and (imo) excessive sometimes. But he's also one of a minority of journos actually looking at the numbers and adding them up. Which seems to be a rarity

His argument is not "this tech doesn't work", but rather "these businesses aren't economically viable"

And that the smoke and mirrors accounting and perpetual thirst for more billions indicates just how unviable it is

Whilst he does dunk on LLM capabilities, the framing is the business angle - can Anysphere etc. actually form a moat and make a profit?

One of the great drawbacks of AI tools, is they allow anyone to build stuff... even if they have no ideas or knowledge.

It used to be that ShowHN was a filter: in order to show stuff, you had to have done work. And if you did the work, you probably thought about the problem, at the very least the problem was real enough to make solving it worthwhile.

Now there's no such filter function, so projects are built whether or not they're good ideas, by people who don't know very much
