    Can't answer about copy/paste an NeoVim, but I just switched from vim -> neovim this week, and do feel it's a bit snappier. I also switched from syntastic to ALE for syntax checkin…

    There were a couple of interesting Planet Money podcast episodes on this from earlier this year: * part 1: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/05/10/527803742/episo... * part 2:…

    I was going to mention this same presentation, but you beat me to it. He does a wonderful job with the code, as well and keeping the material interesting, and he has a good sense o…

    Although it does seem to be very slow to respond, https://voat.co/ seemed to have stepped in as a replacement at the last big upheaval. They seem to constantly have troubles stayin…

    I did not, and assumed it was the actual SE site. My bad.

    It's funny how just from the description - "toughest, ugliest" - I knew exactly what warplane it was. As a kid thirty years ago, I probably put together five different plastic mode…

    Well, that's odd. They have the wrapped characters in Mac Chrome for me, but not in FF. Another comment says change deployed but they're still off in Chrome on Mac (even with a for…

    I suggest this one: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter It's quite nice, but I would turn off live updating, as that slowed things down a bit for me. Updating on save works p…
