It's the same model as GitHub. It costs money for private repos. So it is free if that's what you want.

You might also want to check out Floobits which has collaborative editing for vim and neovim: https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-vim https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-neovim h…

I wrote a lengthy question and signed up but at the payment screen it required a credit card. I would have preferred a third party service like PayPal. I am not inclined to enter m…

I worked on the Ask Toolbar back in 2009. I did an AMA about it on reddit way back when[1]. I was hired to work on Bloglines, a Google Reader competitor that was shut down and I mo…

API issues aside, I recently deleted my LinkedIn account and my life has been better off for it. My recruiter spam volume dropped from daily emails to maybe two or three times a mo…

I am one of those programmers who doesn't have a computer science background. Instead I have an MLS (and an undergrad anthropology degree) and thus though myself am not a librarian…

Regarding the bit about Floobits, it's very nice of them to mention us, we love Neovim, and all of the things said are true, but the Neovim remote plugin API recently changed and w…

It's pretty much still the same experience. Once plugins that take advantage of the async and when gui's take advantage of the API I'm pretty sure neovim will not just be equal, bu…

I'd add to that to try and start using neovim. I've switched to it on Mac without a hitch and we (Floobits) have already moved our vim plugin to use the new neovim python-client pl…

Yep, I wrote most of it way back in the day and then someone else took up the reigns, I don't think it's been updated in a long time. It's definitely not 0.9.4 compatible at this p…

The truth of it is that the startup life isn't for every engineer. Startup code is messy. You don't have architects who draw UMLs for you, you don't have the luxury of time to do t…

The sociologist professor was discussing research. Though she agrees with the idea, it wasn't a claim made by her, it was a discussion.

We are talking about people. So I think this kind of research and distinction makes for a powerful reminder of why tolerance for diversity is so important. Were those young people …

Sure, you could think of it as one gradient (gender) mapped to another (sexual orientation). The whole desire of us to classify these things into neat little labels falls apart tho…
