Re:Ask HN: How do you share code for stackoverflow questions.
on Wednesday February 19, 2014 @12:11PM (#7264629)
For questions in Java/JavaScript where the sample code can easily be boiled down, I usually see that the inline code formatting is sufficient. For web-related questions, usually involving HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, use http://jsfiddle.net.

I think you meant http://www.imacs.org, the above link goes to something which appears slightly unsavory...

Re:Wondering if there are any blind programmers?

yeah, totally... I knew a couple of folks from our local association for the blind who took computer science classes in college.
Also, see WWW:Wake from Robert Sawyer.
Re:Ask HN: Which javascript libraries/frameworks/tools you use?

I'm currently using dojo/dijit/dojox (for good or bad, work requirement). Kinda the same purpose as jQuery/jQuery UI, but I believe that it does not focus on bringing in HTML 5/CSS 3 functionality quite as much.
Re:Advice for an aspiring programmer?
on Friday August 19, 2011 @10:05AM (#2903393)
Whatever you do, make it publicly-visible. Companies will not hire a software developer with no work experience, who can only say that they are able to program in X.
If you are able to...
* Demonstrate your abilities in programming language X by showing them your code through a public repository (i.e. Google-code, github, bitbucket, etc...)
* Demonstrate your communication abilities/soft skills by showing them the supporting documentation (i.e. a development blog, user documentation, etc...)
* Demonstrate your ability to explain/defend the design/implementation choices made in the development of your application
...then you have a pretty good foot in the door for getting into the software development industry.
On the converse, however, not all hiring managers will/are able to take this much time when investigating potential candidates.

You should probably be very careful about using the word guarantee in your website's text. IANAL, but you may find that you could get sued by someone who is taking that as a informal contract.

I've been using NERDTree for a bit now but didn't know about the 'm' key. Thanks!

I will enthusiastically second tpope's plug-ins. I've been doing some html work and found that the ragtag and surround plugins were helping me a lot.
