I think Georgia Institute of Technology only being a few hours away would be the bigger issue. GIT has a pretty significant ranking usually popping in and out of the bottom of the top 10 slot. Being from FL I know a lot of people that want

Right, some of the business going public at that time seemed like they where written on a napkin two nights before. They where not even at the pivot stage. It was absolutely insane at the time and everyone knew it. I remember working at som

Sure and I apologize if my comment implies that, I don't think that I did though, I was simply stating that Iceland unlike a host of other countries, made the best worst decision available in times like these as such they should serve as an

IIRC the common wisdom at the time, was to put all of the private risk onto the public which is what was proposed, Iceland said no, you got yourselves into this mess and you are not going to spread that risk to the public. Austerity was the

Iceland seems to have fixed the problem the correct way: default. This is the part that dumbfounds me, Iceland ignored the common wisdom when they common wisdom said that very bad things would happen to them if they did not listen to the

My first thought was why not hack machines with your uncle. Learn the Arduino platform and bring the flexibility of embedded logic to his creations, then you could provide your expertise to a portion of his hacking machines.

They will just do it again in the future, but with something like credit card debt. This is a huge disservice to their economy. I also wonder who has to pay for this. Actually Iceland's economy is doing pretty well they where the only cou

I agree sometimes the dogma in tech can cloud peoples perspective. If we get down to brass tacks their is no "right" way to develop for the web, when talking about using JavaScript or not. It is a preference, opinion and bias issue as such

One of the big ones I can think of is that the web is becoming a system of platforms, Twitter, Facebook, Google etc. are all platforms, when I build web application it is almost guaranteed that my app will be a JavaScript based UI that coup

wave is a good tool, though they do complain about scripts, which can pretty much be ignored now days. Run in on HN and it will give you an idea of what it does http://wave.webaim.org/ http://www.webnauts.net/check.html also has some to

This is a dated article but it does give a good overview of how the screen readers work, some items have been improved in the screen readers since 08 but for the most part it is a good starting point http://northtemple.com/2008/10/07/javas

All of the major screen readers support content added to the DOM dynamically. They just watch particular events to know when and where to look, you have to ensure you are updating the DOM in a manner that they understand.

As someone who has worked extensively with JavaScript web apps specifically geared towards accessibility, I can say that without a doubt the two major screen readers work with JavaScript. There are some quarks that you have to deal with but

If that is the case then that is fine (in my book), Googling to find info on a subject is a very relevant skill, even though it is frowned upon in interviews for some reason. In my perception, it does come off as if they are looking to hire

I still prefer events and widgets for UI development. I like to have discreet widgets that have their own HTML template and then use events for coordination, I think this promotes looser coupling where items can be dropped into the page and

If that is true, then why shouldn’t someone use GWT and use Java on both the client and server? Since the JVM works very well on the server, certainly the effort put into GWT could be seen as the equivalent of the effort put into Node.js t

Fair enough, I am too tech focused so it has always been the school that I would have attended had I chosen to pursue a top school. As well I have a large social circle of MIT grads so they have biased me as well.

If they actually listened to the sermons, they'd hear they had the same chance to pass into heaven as a camel through a needle's eye, but that didn't affect how they used their money as far as I could see. Not to go two far into the realm
