I learned a few things from this book by a computer scientist who had a concussion: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23398971-the-ghost-in-my...

He worked with these people: https://mindeye.com/


I believe Mars has the largest percentage by planet of linux machines with working sound.

Is this audio/video bus a result of the space program?


It is driven mainly by automotive uses. Modern instrument clusters in all cars are running Linux, and need to handle sound and video streams of terrifying variety, including dashcams, back-up cams, sirius radio, phone bluetooth, and more to come, directed to various display devices including actual screens, the instrument cluster, speakers, and phone calls.


Freedom from chemical trespass is also a lost common.

I think almost all organisms have a little bit of Teflon chemicals now...


my galp2 has the 4k display. I'm not sure why they changed. It's been great. .. well, except for tiny grub text.


Some states in the U.S. only fund 1/2 day kindergarden. Full day exists, but requires the parents to pay more for that.


This is clearer, more indepth, and longer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFwVf5a3pZM

But I found it more motivated me to change. (Chicago U, writing class for grad students)


I'm 15 minutes into this video and just had to pause to thank you.

This guy is fantastic. He has changed how I see the world.

Thank you.


Wow; I don’t think I’ve ever watched a hour-plus lecture recommended by an Internet stranger before today. Thank you for sharing this. I was compelled by zomglings’ review and the value (heh) was apparent by minute ~15 as promised. Reframing how I think about writing has me wanting to rewrite the thousand-odd pages I’ve published (blog posts, notes, etc.) over the past few years...


Feedback about writing quality has been hard for me to address. This video clearly explains the difference between the way students learn to write and the way we should write in the "real world". The ideas are easy to apply and, in hindsight, embarrassingly obvious.


This is the best YouTube video I've watched in a long time. Thanks for posting it. (The same lecture from the previous year is also there, and though it overlaps a lot, also worth watching.)


MIT's beer game is a classic one in supply chain: http://web.mit.edu/jsterman/www/SDG/beergame.html


Having had the beer game at MIT, I'd say it's the only action learning experience that is worth something. Fun.


MySql is the original No sql database


That looks like an amazing combination. Do you have any other plug-ins that augment vimwiki?


For one, taskwiki, which if you use task means you have a great way to bang a checkbox in a vimwiki file and have that create a task.

MY company uses outlook so I sync the outlook calendar to khal using vdirsyncer. I then can use a (really janky) vimscript function of my own devising to add the calendar and some standard stuff to a "daily note". So I go <leader>ww and it creates a note for the day and adds my calendar and then I use that for all the basic notes for the day.

vimoutliner for when I absolutely want an actual outliner to do some planning. It's not always the right tool, but when it is, it's great, and it integrates perfectly with fzf. The other thing is that because notational-fzf is just doing a fuzzy find over text, I point it at all my sourcecode dirs for immediate jumping to particular files, functions etc in sourcecode.
