Some key bindings do conflict such as C-p with Yankring. Also, need to be able to configure to use with links or elinks and not just lynx.

I hope the author keeps working on this.

However, one learns to accept this as how the world is, and there's no ill-feeling or depression associated with it.

As you rise in rank, you are associating with people who are all of higher intelligence. I made whatever i could on dint of twice the effort and reading a lot more. I am fortunate I was able to save enough money since i reached a stage where I knew i could not continue to be employed. I was too old to be a continue at middle management, and too stupid to move to higher management. I've retired and lead a slow life living on savings. I do programming for fun, but no-brainer stuff.

Sometimes I do think i am blessed with stupidity. Most intelligent people i know are miserable, spending their entire lives chasing wealth or becoming something to be happy.

I can tell your from personal experience that being stupid does not feel good especially when you know it. You never "get it" when others talk, you never have anything to say, you are always saying and doing the wrong things, or not doing what should have been done.

I do agree there's a lot more to enjoy. One is not critical and cynical. I like a lot more people, food, music than my smarter siblings. I am very happy walking in parks, looking at trees, or petting animals. Life is simpler.

I like vifm (vi-like file manager), although i can't say i fire it up too often.

microemacs (jasspa's) has a nice inbuilt file manager (F10).

I use links (i/o lynx). And vim.

I am still going through the youtube's pointed to in various posts from that thread.

I turned veg about 15 years back (but still ate an egg). My haemoglobin count actually went up by a point (a year later). About 5 years ago, i gave up eggs too. A year later my Haemo was up by another half point.

I do have a small amount of milk in tea/coffee. In India, there are millions of vegetarians who live without health problems. Veganism seems a little extreme to us.

Why not do a 'qq' to record your macro as 'q' and @q to replay it.

Plenty of us have been surviving for many generations (in Asia). The numbers are reducing today not due to nutritional reasons, but social .. peer pressure, travelling to the West etc.

No, it is hard for the mind to understand, since the mind is quiet at this point. The mind itself is the disturbance that prevents us from knowing what is there when it is no longer "veiling" what is.

This is also called being in the present moment, being in the Now, abiding as the I-am, abiding as awareness etc. My first recognition was of what was real and what was not. Only you can make that recognition, it cannot be told and proved by someone else.

The second recognition was of myself being the silent awareness inside which the mind and the "I" was playing. The whole play of the personality or "personal self" is seen through. The suffering of this mental being crumbles. Can you imagine the freedom ? No wealth or power can buy this.

Yes, keeping one's mind centered, aka, in the present moment, in awareness, is being happy. Being happy without external causes.

Unhappiness is basically thought-forms or thought-waves saying "I am unhappy" or "I am bored" or "I will be happy when ...". There is no more reality to unhappiness than mere thought-forms. The underlying silence revealed by a still mind is happiness itself.

Do we really need to be so specific to learn ruby ?

Doesn't look like anyone's posted this link as yet.

From what i see, Western society seems pretty lonely -- I often wonder if that's because there is nothing (no problems, no adversity) to bond people together.
