This is essentially the choice I made a couple years back. Vintageous isn't perfect but it's the best vim emulator I've used. Sublime is a great text editor on top of it.

Has anyone who is raising ethical concerns of this been around a horseshoe crab? They are essentially large insects. Killing a cockroach because it was in your house is objectively…

Young women in software get paid 7% more than young men. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/12/pf/gender-pay-gap/ Where does this pay gap start to come into play?

I host Ghost on a digital ocean VM. $5 a month isn't too bad hosting anything.

The staggering low wages on Californian farms is preventing proper incentivisation to automate these processes. It reminds me of how slaves in the antibellum south prevented the ar…
