Confirmed. Same here. Also, options for ls don't seem implemented.

I disagree. I want to see new stuff. There's plenty of worthy stuff that in /new that does't see the homepage because shit like this reappears every 6 months/1 year/whatever. edit: emphasized what kind of stuff in /new
Well new stuff to you might be old stuff to me. Unless you've looked at every single submission on this site, no need to complain. Just don't open the link or comments.
It's really hard to use the site with that mindset when 15/30 of the submissions on the front page are resubmissions. I'm not sure if that ratio has ever happened, but it certainly feels like it quite often.
Other articles that make it feel that way that I wish I could just eliminate all together--anything talking about Node.js, productivity related (how I fooled myself into working), "how can I learn to program." These all seem way too common for my tastes.
I'm not against any of these topics, in moderation, but regardless of what anyone says, the community that has grown here over the past years has become dominated by those with poor taste.

Re: The unofficial Google shell
#44I enjoyed this quite a bit. Set it as my new homepage.

You are projecting your own preferences. You don't like Node.js stories, I'm sure an equal number of hn users prefer those. I also highly doubt that half of the home page are resubmissions, based on the fact that a lot cover recent news (see the Apple iPad coverage for instance).
So either come up with your own filters, but don't try to push them on everyone else here. We are diverse enough to enjoy a bit of everything.

HN knows what I've clicked when logged in, seems like the sort of thing that could be used to hide resubmissions if desired ...

No way! I wrote an opinionated comment? How rude of me!

Are you suggesting that if I build filters I not share them with the community?
I think the point I'm trying to make is that Hacker News is no longer one size fits all. If I have to spend my time here searching amongst the crap to find something I want to read, it's just flat out not worth it. I've already started going back to Reddit much more often, because of their subreddits (after years of maybe once every 6 months or so browsing).

I played with googlecl for a bit and quite amazed by what it can do. However, in order to use vim as the editor, the user has to always append '--editor vim' to the command line, which feels a little awkward to me. I want more than that, say, it would be great that those google docs are actually files! A quick google search turns out there exists always a project doing that --- http://gdatafs.sourceforge.net/ "Gdataf…
I think you can specify a default editor in the googlecl config file: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ConfigurationOptions You can also specify document-type specific editors ;) The beauty of googlecl is that, since it's a command line tool, you could always fall back on using a bash alias / bash function, if all else fails.
Would certainly be nice if it listened to the EDITOR environment variable for a default :/

Actually, now that I'm at home, I just tried it... and it does default to the EDITOR variable. Just tried it by setting the variable to vim and then to nano.

#50You might be a UNIX geek if: You type "cat news" and then are confused that the results involve felines.
or you fat finger "cat mews"
