Issue #209 // July 10, 2014 // View in your browser

Two quick notes - if you missed last week's issue, Hacker Newsletter hit four years and we're celebrating by fundraising for Vim. So far we've raised over $1000 and MailChimp is going to double it at the end! Second, there won't be a regular issue next week as my wife and I will be at the beach celebrating 10 years of bliss. :) kale
