When did we lose our interest in and support for hacking ?
It doesn't have to be "practical" nor "broadly applicable" to remain interesting and perhaps even a bit inspiring. And, as often as not, it's the thought of "What happens when I mash these things together?" that produces some real innovation.
As a community, we should continue to support such exploration.
People here do startups and businesses, but the community was never solely, nor perhaps even primarily, about that. Which comes first, the hack or the business?
I'd argue it's one of the better options from an accessibility viewpoint - from a screen reader perspective, you'll get the raw numbers. If the chart was an image, you'd get nothing.
When I remap my fonts for accessibility reasons I can still see an SVG. However I'm left with tons of little boxes on Github's website where the buttons belong. SVG could be used for those buttons and they would get the same result.

"Insist"? Because it's fun, and useful. "When people use these silly font+glyph combos I never use their software." That's fine. Don't.
I was just thinking, " Hacker News".

You are aware it breaks accessibility, right?

That is a good point. This font does degrade gracefully.
It doesn't. If you remap your fonts, you get numbers.
How is it worse than SVG?
