> It was so strange to be in an environment with people having I.Q.'s below 150 and where it wasn't necessary to study 12, 13, 14 hours a day, seven days a week just to keep up.

Is this true? Seems crazy, how do you stand doing this for ~5 years?


Slight exaggeration on the IQ, less so on the amount of work.

Sorry to interrupt you, but if you are reading HN while sitting on your lectures, why not just go home and get some sleep?


Sometimes the only reason you go to lecture is to be sure to catch important announcements. You can to that with little sleep, and in the meantime, you need something low-effort to keep you awake. So there's one theory.


Or you can buy a beer once a week to someone that will send you "important announcements" by email, and having a good solid sleep in own bed ;)


Because Mr. Brainiac isn't skilled at managing his time.


Are you working alone?

How long (from the start) do you think it will take until you do 5 figures per month?


When using rawgit, please follow the owners request about using cdn.rawgit.com for anything that might result in heavy traffic. I guess links submitted to HN often results in heavy traffic.

So the url should be changed to this (which loads for me):

https://cdn.rawgit.com/yogthos/yogthos.github.com/master/Clo...


Would it really be so difficult to redirect my request...


When you write `:ls` you see all the buffers, not tabs. To remove the buffer you can use `:bd :bdel :bdelete` (see `:help :bdel`) which unloads a buffer and deletes it from the bugger list.


Sure. But I want to close the buffer AND the tab. :bd only closes the tab if there are multiple tabs open. It does not close the tab when its the last tab before the file explorer:

1) in the shell run "vim ."

2) hit "t" on a file

3) type ":bd<enter>"

You still have 2 tabs open. One with the file explorer and one with an empty file. Probably because the file explorer has type "nofile" or something, so vim things the buffer you just closed was the last one. Im not sure why its not closing the tab. It might be a bug.

Is there a way to tell vim "When I type :bd close the frickin tab, even if its the last one!"?


Yes, see my other answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8187723



Thanks.

@pg do you think having automatic archived mirrors linked on all submission would be detrimental to linked articles ?


The slashdot[1] effect has been around for a long time.

Auto mirroring would be nice but at the same time it leaves a lot of open questions about content ownership, ability of the content owner to edit, monetize etc. The New York Times would not be happy if HN links were automatically mirrored and I imagine they'd be quick to protect their rights on that front.

Even just a summary? We've got nothing. The site is down and even the archive.org link above isn't responding.

My guess just based on title is something along the lines of silos are bad so lets make a better silo. But, our silo will be a really nice silo. Forgetting that's what everyone has been doing forever. The wheel of IT rotates forever and this is a very old idea that fits the title.


Nope, it actually says that this silo is empty, let's go to that other one that's more popular and about to be standardized instead of making 2 standards.


If not auto-mirror then at least links to Google Cache and Webarchive in the interface would probably be welcome.


You could install Resurrect Pages https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resurrect-pag... which gives you links to IA and Google caches with a right-click.


I guess he means http://www.milight.com/


The url should be prefixed with `cdn.`

http://cdn.rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/demo.html


Is your toy server open source? I would love to see the source.


Are you lacking OSS HTTP/1.1 servers to study? There are tons.


You could just do like pmorici said and add `init=/bin/sh` instead of booting into recovery mode.

At the moment Atom only runs on OS X (10.8 or later). Windows and Linux releases are on the roadmap."
