Hi, thanks for asking! :) Some background: I've used Linux since 2004. I think I mostly used Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch. Recently (2013) I've move to macOS as my primary OS. * Snapshots. Many of my co-workers are actually afraid to

In Vancouver, it is pretty common. Housing prices here are pretty high, so it is hard for most to afford a place to live by yourself unless you make other compromises (eg long commute, living in the ghetto, taking on a risky amount of rent

I'm stuck using Gnome 2 at work for the time being, and I must say I really don't dig it. I think various pieces of 'bloat' that have been added in the years have made my life better. I find myself taking longer to find

While it is nice to see the haskell community put some effort into this area, is it really necessary to blow the user's current vim settings away and make them start from scratch with your setup? Why not make this a standardish plugin
