The tech community in Australia, while close knit and growing, has nothing on San Francisco (but honestly, where in the world does?). There is also the lure of other big, well known cities, particularly New York. Australians love to trave

I'm currently in the US on an E3, and while it is true that it is rather hard to get credit/insurance/a car when you first arrive, it does get easier. The trick is to start building your credit history from day 1: get a couple of secured cr

As a current resident of Vegas, "warm" might be understating summer temperatures a little :) Everything is air conditioned (and there are 24 hour air conditioning maintenance companies!) so you'll be inside most of the time.

"We use a really excellent async library" Does anyone happen to know if this is an open source or in house library?

Interesting, I've read conflicting reports about dual intent - do you have any sources? I'd provide mine but it would require a lengthy google session to retrace my steps :)

It's worth noting that the H1B is not the only type of visa that exists for hiring developers. Australians are able to use the E3, which is like a H1B but only available to Australians. Consequently it's easier to get, as long as you have a

"1. it's a flash application" I don't think this is correct. There is a flash Websocket transport, but the rest of the app is HTML. A link to the developers: http://www.esn.me (A bonus, being a web app means I can check it at work!)

I just moved from Melbourne, AU to Las Vegas, and its incredible. I have a running joke with friends back in Australia that you can go out for lunch in Vegas and buy a house with the change. Having said that, I wouldn't trade my place in Me

I'm not a huge fan of CoffeeScript in general, but one big plus in its favour would be the ability to write one set of CoffeeScript that compiles to JavaScript AND ES.next. That way you could serve the regular JS to older browsers, and the

I'd phrase it as "Apple 's frame is their screen" - those native apps run in a lot of places, but they don't run everywhere.

In running and peer to peer betting (Betfair style) are indeed different. You can place in run (live) bets on Betfair. Interesting anecdote, apparently Betfair had one of the busiest Oracle installs on the planet. They were (are?) creating

American sports wagering - Vegas in particular - has been pretty behind the times until recently. Vegas betting has been limited, partly due to software, partly due to it being "the way", to pretty basic betting. Handicap, head to head, tot
