Langdal··on Wttr: Console-oriented weather forecast service
I really like the idea, but the data quality for my city (Trondheim, Norway) was unfortunately too off for me to use.

The national forecast service (yr.no) is saying it will be sunny and very hot all through the weekend, while wttr reports it will be 16-19 degrees Celcius and rain on saturday.

Langdal··on My Text Editor Journey: Vim, Spacemacs, Atom and Sublime Text
I am also a vim user, but agree that in some cases it can be faster to select text with the cursor. However, you lose some time moving your hand between the keyboard and mouse, so I usually don't do it.

However, you can have both. Neovim is a drop-in replacement for vim that lets you use the mouse to select text, scroll, change windows or panes, resize splits and so on. Resizing splits is one of those things that I prefer to do with a cursor.

I think vim can do some of the same things (all?), but it requires some configuration.
