There are a number of tools out there that help with accessibility but most of the focus seems to be on web PAGES and web SITES not web APPS. My employer takes a11y seriously and w…

Hawthorne effect? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect

Thanks, this looks pretty similar to codecademy, have you done the courses? Any reason in particular to choose this over codecademy? I guess he can try the free ones and see if he …

Thanks, some nice additional resources, the advanced shayhowe lessons look good for explaining the concepts around bootstrap which will be useful for a novice rather than just divi…

Thanks for the smashing magazine link, should be worth exploring. While the MDN resources are great I was looking for more interactive tutorials. I'm hoping the gameification forma…

Thanks, this looks good, and it is close enough to free, I was just trying to avoid 12 week immersion code schools for $1000s. That may be an option later but just testing the wate…

My stepson (19, no college) is going to explore web development and design. He doesn't have any prior experience. I'm looking for free online resources for him to get some exposure…

I disagree, if you're wanting something to "go viral" or whatever 100 upvotes at a busy time, when there are 30 other submissions with over 100 in a similar timeframe is not nearly…

TLDR oversimplifying article is overly simple and gets things wrong and doesn't consider others. The rules are simple: a user submits a link and title, the community upvote and dow…

from the FAQ: Does Project Fi have family plans or other plans for multiple users? No, we only support individual accounts during Project Fi's Early Access Program. If multiple peo…

Really? Or does it just look like one before you turn it on? http://xkcd.com/1397/ Apparently Randall has spent some time in this area before, Lisp is the lightsaber http://xkcd.co…

I guess that would depend on your definitions of "product", "successful" and "heavy". Realistically if they are in a position to leverage any bundling - why wouldn't they? But here…

You're either very confused, or you have a much deeper understanding of physics than me. I love that it could be either. Does the conservation of momentum apply to things with no i…

I'd argue that there has always been this divide, or similar divides through the course of US history. There's a rural/urban divide which has slowly but inevitably moved in the dir…

The description you suggest is "completely accurate" applies to scores between 11 and 80, on an entire scoring spectrum of 0-99. I'm not overly impressed. I scored 27 but I'm a Bri…

1) They argued that moving digital good around should be subject to import tax/duties just like physical goods (steel/ lumber). The case they were making was for finished digital p…

I wonder why I've not seen this expressed before, I've thought it every time I see these complaints regarding the HN mobile experience. Maybe it isn't desirable to have people writ…

His point seems to be that it breeds HONESTY rather than meanness, I don't think he was saying it breeds the opposite of meanness, just that meanness is a side-effect of the honest…

I'm pretty sure you all have this back-asswards. Susan's garage is where google was headquartered in the early days (1998). She didn't get the job because she is Sergey's wife's si…

There is a caveat already in the origin text. Unreasonable Given that is already in there why add the additional caveat that then allows unreasonable searches? Surely reasonable se…

NNPP - Net Negative Producing Programmer I had to look it up, so for other's benefit: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?NetNegativeProducingProgrammer

I've also heard it used in sports and such Team A are X points down and given the injury to STAR_PLAYER for them to come back now is a big ask

Apparently you didn't make it to the conclusion. So perhaps the role of the DBA isn’t necessarily dead, it’s just moved to its new home at the datastore-as-a-service provider. The …

This comment is so far away from the parent I can no longer remember who the "he" is referencing. I like that I can turn this both ways and have it be snowden or the pope.

Right, but the confusion is that both the identity service and their social network are called Google+. So it is hardly surprising that people get confused when they call two suppo…
