This article is based on Irina Morozova’s talk at A11yNYC. Irina emphasized the importance of designing digital content that’s accessible to people with limited English proficiency. Using relatable examples like ATM interactions, she illustrated how unclear language and poor design can turn everyday tasks into stressful experiences. She advocated for plain language, clear headings, and intuitive layouts to reduce cognitive overload and preserve user dignity. Irina also highlighted the need for inclusive multimedia practices and stressed that respectful design empowers users by making technology simpler and more welcoming.
To reduce web server overload from scraping,
would it help
to introduce intentional delays
when serving unauthenticated requests?
P.S.
Delays need not be constant.
For example,
over a single TCP connection
the delays can depend on
the total number of seen requests
and their temporal distribution.
A simple example:
a low (humanly-acceptable) delay for the first request,
then no delay for a reasonable number of requests,
then rising delays.
Organizations need scalability and consistency in their accessibility work, aligning people, policies, and processes to integrate it across roles. This session highlights tools for product management, UX design, web development, and content creation to embed accessibility. We will explore inclusive personas, design artifacts, design systems, and content strategies to support developers and creators, with real-world examples.
