Hi there! A colleague of mine referred me to your post. I'd love to have a call and help with advice and coaching to reduce your anxiety of going blind. Since I published the post @ssivark mentioned, I got a lot of emails from develope

> Sure, but does he want to emigrate? I'd love to. This is a dream that I'm striving for. > do you want to go to the trouble of getting him a visa? Now, that'd be a tough one for anyone to answer.

I had a colleague build my blog for me. I love his work because he created a clean theme, and it's very easy for me to navigate. I hadn't thought that it'd also be easier to read for sighted people. That's great to know!

Ouch. No. Don't. :-)

Yes. I'm sorry for the confusing title. This has been pointed out to me and I agree. The reason it hasn't been changed is because it would change the permalink. Sorry for not giving you the information you were looking for.

And you're surprisingly smart, which you demonstrated through your gedankenexperiment. I'm glad that writing about my experiences has allowed me to read one paragraph of the thoughts of people so much smarter than me. These are br

LOL! When you put it like this, it seems very impossible. But I've been doing the second part of it for two years, so if you need any help with that, just let me know. Haha.

I used another friend's credit card. There are some services here where some guy in another country who is originally Iranian will charge a fee to take your Iranian Rials and send them to a PayPal account, or go and pay for a service o

Isn't that so very true. Thank you a lot for your well wishes.

Well, I'm not doing anything political, so no one will catch me and kill me. I'm using it for exactly the same reasons as you, namely that the United States won't let me view some content, listen to some music and stuff. Even

Haha yes. Though being a blind programmer is not that bad; being in Iran is why I am trying to find a job in another country and relocate.

Exactly. I changed the article to better reflect these though. I'd personally get offended if someone actually meant to say something like this, and since I don't want people to think I'm making such a ridiculous statement, I

Wow, so many awesome software. You'd think that as someone who has used VPNs since the day he first connected to the Internet, I'd know all about these things! :-) Thanks a lot! I'll definitely try this one out!

Awesome, thanks! I'll definitely try these out!

Hi Dan, If you're the person who contacted me through an email, I just replied to you! If not, I'll paste my response here: ---------- Hi Dan! You won’t believe how glad i am that you decided to contact me regarding this, rather t

I apologize. The article title has created a misunderstanding for a lot of people. I'm not blaming Docker in the article content (as quoted by others).

Great suggestion. I'm debating whether to actually change it, but it'd end up not matching the permalink. Hmm.

Sorry for being late to this thread. You can also use some accessibility evaluation tools. I would suggest that you go here, and check the box that says "WCAG 2.0" to get some tools that check accessibility in general: http:&#x2F

Yes, I'm using Windows 7. I use that theme because my screen reader is more responsive the less CPU and memory usage I have. So for example, if I open a heavyweight IDE, the fact that it's using so much CPU will make my screen rea

If I were to see this moment, I would wonder how you can bear using a mouse when the keyboard is so much quicker. However, you can probably use the mouse much faster than I can. Why? It's probably the power of habits. Using a keyboard-

This was a problem years ago. however, nowadays almost all screen readers have a setting to report the indentation of the current line. This was popularized when NVDA (a Windows screen reader) and Orca (a screen reader for Linux) were writt

The thing with 3 dimensional objects is that you get a lot of those in real life. All it takes to show a blind person what 3 dimensional looks like is to pick up a keyboard, show its different sides, and describe that "This is the heig

That is very true. My colleagues had a hard time explaining how one can draw in 3D on a 2D medium, like a board. It was there that I figured sighted people see things differently when it's away from them. It's different than how I

This is really one of the points that always amazes me. We have all this potential, right here on earth. Why are we looking for aliens? Why aren't we spending more time in knowing how people with different senses missing understand a p

Actually, a lot of things you may perceive as visual are not visual, at least if you imagine "visual" as something I (a blind person) cannot understand. I do a lot of refactoring, maybe even more than you do, simply because I can&
