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

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 we're rushing to get our plugin to be compatible. T

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, but far superior.

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 plugin for much better async behavior. Making an asy

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 point. I'm working on an alternative temp

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 things right. At a small startup everything is

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 who do not happen to fit so nicely into these categories enc

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 though when you look at research and ethnographies of different

It would still be a gradient even if the distribution of where people fit into it isn't even. The way my sociologist professor explained it in school was that the gradient is for "attraction" and like some appreciate the attr

This "essentialism" applies to gender as well. Not just gender but sexual orientation and even biological sex which some sociologists and anthropologists distinguish as different from gender. These are not binary, but actually gra

At floobits we use "actions" in addition to model events for our flux like implementation. Views trigger usually actions, modifying models triggers events on the model. Views in themselves do not usually trigger model updates. So

It's best to just not concatenate strings and then dump them into HTML. You can't know it's not an XSS issue unless you know how this ended up in localStorage to begin with. It could be untrusted user content that came from t

I've been interviewed by seldo before, when he was at awe.sm. It was a good technical interview. His questions were relevant and forced me to think. I like interviews in which I walk away learning something and I definitely did learn

I know this is just demonstrating an example, but the example includes a dangerous XSS vulnerability: for(var i=0; i<products.length; i++) { content += products[i].name + '<br />'; }
