On a related note, if anybody would like to get started with home-manager, we have a flake template for it:

Personally I do not like underscores. It can get real ugly.

So instead of:

    map3 f ( x, cmd ) ( y, cmd' ) ( z, cmd'' ) =

I will have to write:

    map3 f ( x, cmd ) ( y, cmd_ ) ( z, cmd__ ) =

And it affects package API too: https://github.com/elm-lang/svg/commit/40b761d66b48fcc28f5b5...

However that's just a matter of taste and does not deter me from continuing to use Elm.

Use numbers instead of backticks or underscores. There's a reason we got rid of roman numerals.

One such magic is the "comparable" thing. See http://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/elm-is-wrong and https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/774

Yes, but that's not new in 0.18

> It may be wise to first try the switch on your current Mac, inside a Virtual Machine …

This is exactly what I'm doing. I run Spacemacs in a Ubuntu VM running on Parallels. I'm not too sure if I would be willing to move away from the OS X apps ecosystem though (I use 1Password, Day One, OmniFocus, iBooks, Notes, Photos etc and they all sync perfectly with the iPhone).

I have been meaning to switch to Linux, however I am yet to find something that has as good of a display quality (retina fonts) as the Mac. How is the XPS like?

The XPS13 has a hiDPI screen. Hardware wise, the screen definitely seems on-par with MBP but on the software side, it's a little infuriating encountering applications that don't support hiDPI. Instead of those apps just looking blurry like when OS X introduced 2x resolution, they show up at native resolution (50% of normal size)

But who knows, maybe I missed a setting somewhere to correct that.

I've used high-DPI displays under Linux, and they consistently work fine.

GNOME autodetects a high-DPI display and scales well by default, and all modern applications handle this as well. (If you run old non-toolkit applications, they may not scale automatically.) I did find that Firefox doesn't seem to autodetect high-DPI displays, but if you open about:config and set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.4 (for 1440p) or 2 (for 4k), Firefox works great. (Adjust to taste.)

This is not true. Linux does not handle HiDPI just fine. Try using 2 displays with 2 different dpis. You get your choice: one screen normal, and one screen teeny tiny.

actually on wayland it does. tough there aren't many wayland distro's.

Good point! I haven't had any Wayland distros work long enough to plug in a 2nd monitor. :)

Linux is not something that handles hiDPI. X handles it, Gnome handles it, Qt handles it. Almost all of them are a bit different, and you have to take care of them separately. There are things that already work together well, e.g. X DPI detection works with Gnome 3, but if you open a Qt GUI (old Skype) then that might very well be tiny. Chrome has not worked well until recently, I don't know if they fixed it already or not.

That's all I needed to hear to know that 2016 (and probably 2017) is still not "the year of the Linux desktop" (coming from a Linux desktop guy until 2004: switched to the Mac because I value my time, I keep monitoring any new developments in my old camp but if I had held my breath I'd be dead.)

Interesting. How would you configure this on a Mac?

You would install this: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements

I use Karabiner and BetterTouchTool in combination

NeoVim is quite interesting. You can use it with other editors, like Github's Atom: https://github.com/carlosdcastillo/vim-mode

Is anybody using VS Code for Haskell development? How is the extension like?
