You are talking about 16 GB of RAM, rights? My emacs is very happy with 32 MB of RAM and my vim with even less. I understand that Atom is doing a lot, but if you need 16 GB of RAM to run your text editor, this simply means that the develope

DTU (Chemical Engineering) has not blocked the access to http://sci-hub.cc . Maybe you can check if you can resolve the domain with an open DNS server like 8.8.8.8 from Google and then access it from your university network.

When you are building a home, you are not building it for the next two years, you are building it for the next 20 to 25 years. You need to think about the availability of your "SmartHome" appliance/system in 20 years. This is
