I have done work integrating real time systems with flight data in all of these encodings and telex for a large intl travel company that does contracts at an airport you have flown at. A lot of legacy systems are using very early web protocols like SOAP or old encodings e.g. Telex messages.


There may be more to it but at a minimum understanding usually requires you to remember a how or why, so understanding is rooted in memory as well. Perhaps also the memory of a broader cognitive context of the world and how a given objects fit in that context. Without memory there would be no capacity for understanding.

Have you ever gained a solid understanding of a complex topic after a lot of study? When you start to forget the relevant details of the context you’ve created, your understanding fades as well. “Understanding“ is just a complex function of memory to a large degree.


Very valuable insight - I am sure the Dutch speaker you’re informing had no idea what Romance languages are


This has happened to me on a few occasions, once during SAT prep in highschool, I woke up with the answer to a hard math question a friend and I had been stuck on. I’ve also dreamt in code after a long week at work - the code was mundane and just a reiteration of what I’d been doing during the week, and didn’t involve any interesting breakthrough solution or anything.


It’s not fair to suggest medication but given OP’s own admitted diagnoses and his mother’s Parkinson’s he almost certainly has poor dopaminergic functioning.


What will you do for income while working on OS?


I don't worry much about it. I can go back to corporate slavery any time. In fact there's massive labor shortage

Open-Source brings many more opportunities as a side-effect. Especially networking, eg. "I saw this guy on on GitHub/HackerNews, can we hire him?"

Actually, they stumbled upon my GitHub project and that's how they found out about me in the first place


“Developers should work with notes the same way they work with code.” Ok, so just put your notes in a git repo, and edit them in an IDE.


That is the start :) And if that's all you want to use Dendron for (eg. a markdown editor with better integration to vscode and git), then you can.

But if you want to expand further (eg. you now have a few hundred or few thousand notes), Dendron adds additional syntax and structure to make that manageable.


But there's more than just revision control, no? Compilers, linters, intellisence.

I don't know what is to notes as compilers are to code, but certainly note taking could stand to use more tooling.


Yep. Developer tooling has been making massive strides over the last six decades, all focused on the problem of making information (aka code) easier to manage. Dendron builds on top of this and applies it notes.

In terms of the compiler analogy to notes, in Dendron, this is the schema (aka type) system we use to help users define the structure of their notes: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/c5e5adde-5459-409b-b34d-a0d75c...


> For iOS Java is a non starter because as far as I know there is no proper JVM that can be used in App Store apps.

Sure but Kotlin is used in many apps and compiles to iOS natively.


Mannign's Microservices in action could be what you're looking for https://www.manning.com/books/microservices-in-action

They also have one on microservices patterns.


Man, what is going on with Participant C's active neurons.
