I’m totally blind and bought a Mac several years ago hoping to learn iOS programming. As far as I can tell it’s impossible to create a simple app without using drag and drop in XCode. While it’s technically possible to do drag and drop with

I'm a blind developer and I've found Windows 10 to be pretty good about not throwing up popups if you configure it well. This is because we have a good IT group who builds machines from scratch so there's no trial software. I

If you want to develop iOS apps you need a mac. You should get the 27 inch iMac with 64 gigs of ram. This will be a lot more then $2000. If you don't need to develop iOS apps then ryzen looks like it could be good.

What percent of pi users don't connect a keyboard and monitor? I don't mind having a default password since when ever I've used a pi I ran it headless and configured it on first boot with SSH. It would make sense to force the

In my experience it's pretty much impossible to get any kind of UI done in Xcode, at least as of Xcode 7. I'm a totally blind programmer who has a Macbook Air that I run windows on most of the time. I'm not sure if my issues

As a blind programmer who uses a laptop I still got a second monitor that was not currently being used by anyone. My co-workers thank me when they don't have to hunch over to look at my laptop screen when going over code.

Put the computer in a place where you can see it. Spend time with your child so you understand what they are doing on the computer. Don't assume software can fill in for parenting.

How many blind people did you speak to about this? Why would I want to use a braille keyboard when I can use a qwerty one just fine? Why do I want to filter my news through your app when Twitter, Facebook, and AP all have accessible apps an

Please list the limitations you know so much about? Your sample size is far to small to make any generalizations about what blind people can and can not do just because you have not taught any blind students. Also read up on WSL, it's

As a blind person I'm glad I have no need for your course since I already know how to program. Linux accessibility is a giant pain for most blind people. While the Mac is accessible your looking at a $1000 entry price compared to $500

Do you know if Eclipse works for Java programming with Orca? That's what I use for my job so could not use Linux as my primary OS if it does not work.

I'm a totally blind developer and have some of the same issues you do. As far as Chrome dev tools go I've given up on doing any kind of UI work, partially because of accessibility and partially because it does not interest me. My

The Jaws problem may have been video card drivers. Jaws installs it's own video driver that I have found to not work under Virtualbox unless guest additions are installed. I could see there being something in the Amazon virtualizatio
