Clever, as I didn’t know you could directly refer to the YouTube preview image using the “/0.jpg” trick:
Youtube videos
They can’t be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE " target="_blank"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg" alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE" width="240" height="180" border="10" /></a>Or, in pure Markdown, but losing the image sizing and border:
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE)
Source: [WayBack] Markdown Cheatsheet · adam-p/markdown-here Wiki · GitHub
If you allow using resources outside of YouTube, then you can use gifs.com to render the video into a gif image and use that image in the above construct.
I tried that with a few seconds from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHOpw55TI-U which resulted in https://gifs.com/gif/liquid-prompt-Lg1kPp and the gif file https://j.gifs.com/Lg1kPp.gif

With the continued progress of non-local storage and distributed computing., I wonder how this is evolving over time:

[WayBack] Omg this is awesome. Synchronize settings etc between Atom installs!https://atom.io/packages/sync-settings#atomio – Roderick Gadellaa – Google+
I revisited this and it’s awesome.
Note that – as usual – when you sync settings for packages that have external dependencies, these dependencies depend on your platform of choice.
Which means that if for instance depend on Pandoc and you use both a Mac and Windows, you need Pandoc installations plus all dependencies on those platforms before syncing your settings.

On Linux, always remember the splice function makes direct data paths between handles very cheap, so storing it as files is better.

Searching 7z.exe calculate crc32 didn’t return any meaningful results, but [WayBack] Using 7-zip hashing to compare directories and files – Sami Lehtinen did help me as I never noticed that somewhere along the line the h command got added to 7z.exe. It’s not even in the documentation, as found by searching for 7zip commandline arguments:
but it is in the command-line help, at least in versions 16.x:
