Emulation proves the inevitable Achilles' Heel of Qualcomm's new PC chips when it comes to gaming
In a result that should shock no one, gaming performance comes off worst in the world of x86 emulation.Dave James (PC Gamer)

A blind colleague recently joined a new federal agency. The agency is refusing to let him use the NVDA screen reader (free, open source), because it's created by an Australian non-profit which is not registered on SAM.gov (because they're not a vendor).
If you know of how a federal employee has gotten approval to use NVDA, would you let me know what magic words were required?

Sure, but to the users using the program, it does seem random, unless they’re aware of the list. It also makes answering any questions accurately much harder, which is why I personally dislike strange exceptions.
Q: “Does cURL do DNS lookups?”
A: “Well, yes, unless…”
And when you end up with lots of those exceptions in programs, it becomes much faster to explain something quickly and accurately. This then leads to the situation where you’ll have to test and debug every new case or read the source code to gain knowledge of how the program works, because it can’t be simply and shortly explained. And when the TLD exception list is updated, it changes the behavior of existing setups, which can also be surprising at times. (Of course, this is nothing new, especially to you. But see it just as a generic comment).
All of this, of course, is just a personal opinion based on my personal experience with many projects trying to follow KISS.
P.S. I’ve used cURL a lot with Tor and I2P, and so far I’ve been happy with the --socks5-hostname and --resolve options. - What am I missing here? Maybe something essential, I just don’t know what.
To save your very valuable time, I also asked an AI for a reply to my comment and asked what I am missing.
“I understand your point about simplicity and predictability, and it’s true that exceptions can make it harder to explain how a program works. However, in the case of cURL, the exceptions are often necessary to handle the complexities of the real world.DNS lookups, for example, are not always straightforward, and there are many edge cases that need to be handled. The TLD exception list is one such example, where certain TLDs require special handling. While it may seem like an unnecessary complication, it’s actually a necessary evil to ensure that cURL works correctly in all scenarios.
Additionally, the –socks5-hostname and –resolve options you mentioned are actually examples of how cURL provides flexibility and customization options to handle specific use cases, such as working with Tor and I2P. These options are not part of the core functionality, but rather provide a way to extend cURL’s capabilities to work with specific networks or protocols.
It’s not necessarily about what you’re missing, but rather about understanding the design trade-offs involved in creating a program like cURL. While simplicity is important, it’s not always possible to achieve simplicity without sacrificing functionality or correctness. In this case, the exceptions and options in cURL are a necessary part of making it a robust and versatile tool.”
@sl if you read the specs for every protocol detail curl does, you will find a never-ending list of "exceptions". Most of them we all understand and accept these days, but still.
It's like following the law of a country. You don't argue when you think a law is "random", you comply.

in reply to Waldo Jaquith • • •Hey @NVAccess, do you happen to know how someone working at the US federal government might get permission to use #NVDA, or maybe have a user there who might be willing to share tips?
@waldoj is asking for a colleague. Reading between the lines, I don't think the colleague is doing accessibility work.
(I'm really hoping the secret includes paying for it.)

in reply to Andromeda Yelton • • •The most annoying thing is that you need to renew your data at SAM.gov every year. But the whole process takes a couple of hours initially, and then you just confirm that nothing changed on the following years. But in general, it's not a rocket science.

in reply to Waldo Jaquith • • •Reasonable Accommodations is the magic words. The IT operations team has a legal mandate to meet RA requests from any employee. That should unstick things.
If it's a small agency, they may have never had a blind employee before, so someone will need to take the desktop software through the lifecycle, including security testing. That's expensive, and will take months. They can get a risk acceptance signed by the CIO in the meantime.

in reply to Bill Hunt • • •Threatening a lawsuit in those two cases might shake the tree.
However, most bigger agencies almost certainly have something else if not NVDA. Maybe Jaws. If they have a different product already approved and the colleague just doesn't like that specific product, well they're kinda out of luck.
