I’ve been journaling my daily work using Logseq for the past year or so. It has transformed how I work. It’s a log of the little wins I’ve tackled, notes on what was the route to success, and links to where the solution is, whether that is a Confluence doc, a PR on GitHub.
It is also a “memorium pool”, I no longer have to stress about remembering things. It has a powerful note linking mechanism that is automatic, I can find related notes easily and visualise how they are related to each other.
If something comes up during the day, I can tag it as /TODO and it will add that note on a calendar view so I can quickly glance if I have things I need to take care next week.
Give it a go. Remind yourself you win every day. Remind yourself that things do take time. Remind yourself that what you do today matters.
This post is not sponsored. It’s just me grateful for open-source. Want start your journaling today? Go here: https://logseq.com/
I took a deep dive into #Emacs... 🤪
My biggest challenge right now is NOT to abandon #Obsidian and switch completely to #orgroam. And also not to abandon Todoist in favor of #orgmode.
I don't really get what the hell zettelkasten but I feel like I should really start using some sort of "second brain" software. I have a lot of thoughts!
I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:
Do you also use #orgRoam ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:
Sorry for the delay @ctietze !
Have recorded a short sample, but apart from being cool, I do not find it very ready just yet.. it is very slow and lacks some of the 2D functionalities... there's an option to add text on every node, but crashes on my computer, and it is quite modern... also, the labels inside the node, make it unreadable...
It appears to be an #emacs-ish program that uses #commonlisp for customization.
Apparently there have been other emacs clones based on #go and #rust and I guess those are called #emacsen ?
Without going too into my personal details, I’m not a professional programmer and most of my experience is with a modern programming language, #swift, and a high level programming language, #python.
I’ve tried learning #elisp several times by completing various programming exercises and I end up quitting because something obnoxious comes up that, from my minimal programming experience, appears to be due to elisp‘s age. Again, I’m not a pro, so this is just my amateur take.
I did a some programming challenges with #clojure which was hugely fun (mostly because of how fun it feels in emacs 😁) so I don’t think it’s the #lisp part of emacs I have a distaste for.
I’ll probably give it a serious go within the next week here and possibly report back, but I can’t imagine an emacs clone without #magit#orgroam and ChatGPT-shell will really ever become my daily driver 🙃
#emacs#logseq anyone have a working setup with logseq (in orgdown) and #orgroam playing nice in logseq's folder (orgroam dailies in 'journals', etc)? Currently my vault is a mix of org and md but I'm hoping to at least get the org files recognized while I work on converting the md (or figure out #mdroam). I tried playing with org-logseq but even though I'm matching correctly on its grep for the folder and I have title properties I couldn't get it working after a good attempt. #askfedi
looked at the Emacs htmlize bug exporting org-modern agenda
something adds a visual space between : and start of tag name. Cursor jumps over that space, and it does not contribute to current point position, however, it looks like that confuses the htmlize code, which starts the HTML appearance change for that tag one position too late (today it was 906 instead of 905)
I could dive into this, but not motivated enough
did a quick search for data science lifecycles / models when reading those data science strategic plan blog posts
funny that OHRA (our insurer back in NL) was one of the 5 companies leading the ESPRIT EU project that birthed CRISP-DM
thinking about ways of building 15 minute planning and 15 minute emali grooming into my day
planning crucial, but email grooming and general admin feel like they are taking time away from better activities
took a quick look at org-roam-buffer code to see how much work it would be to get a similarity list in there
as could be expected with org-roam, code is OK, but API not really designed with this sort of re-use in mind
[2023-11-25 Sat 16:42] err I was wrong in this case; you can just add a function to org-roam-mode-sections
fixed the consult nearest heading work-around to also take care of =consult-outline= (that was just the advice that needed to get an &optional arg.
after dinner I am able to get Simon Willison's =llm= working on my 1700+ node export, and then my own umap code which on my setup is 3 to 5 times faster for initial embedding but also queries
so close at [2023-11-25 Sat 22:43] I have the server spitting out top 10 closest org-roam IDs, but time for sleep because run tomorrow!
Posted a while back about wanting to give #emacs a go for a bit, see what the fuss is about (I'm mostly a #neovim guy).
I've been doing that, specifically with #doomemacs (vanilla was awful, tbh, but Doom has a lot of decent plugins including lsp and Vim emulation out of the box, which makes it very comfortable), and I think I get it now. I'm especially a fan of #orgmode and #orgroam.
For now, I think I'll be using both Doom Emacs and Neovim depending on how I feel. Is...is that allowed?
#emacs Very rude awakening using #orgroam out of the blue, tones of "Invalid ref" errors and end of file error during parsing 🙄 and the database won't finish synching anymore, causing Emacs (28.2 and 29.1) to choke.
I will move off org-roam eventually, I guess, but the timing of this mess is just very unfortunate.
Tomorrow, I unofficially start my job as 2nd line tech support. Still waiting on the recruitment process to finish for my official start date, but looking forward to it.
I want to try and set up #OrgRoam as my todo list, but feeling full and sleepy after a pub lunch.
For the entire time I've been using #Emacs, I never used (or wanted) any kind of spell-checking. That is changing now that I'm using it a lot more to write notes/documentation with #OrgMode / #OrgRoam.
Ideally I want to only do spell-checking on comments, when editing code, and similar configurability for Org documents.
What is the recommended method for something like that in 2024 (on macOS, if that makes any difference)?
Trying to live the single-(usbc)-cable-dream at work as well by going through my old thinkpad dock: mac to dock via usbc, dock to Delly U2713HM DisplayPort. However, DP to DP connection from dock to old Dell U2713HM display only sometimes flickers on and often not. usbc to DP from dock is solid. DP-DP cable is extremely sus. Work has ordered new DP-DP cable and I'm crossing my fingers. Singel cable life is fun.
Again discovered how unbelievably badly macOS renders fonts on resolutions that Apple believes to be too low, in this case my Dell Ultrasharp 27" at 2560x1440 aka QHD at work. Microsoft and Windows do an absolutely great job on exactly the same hardware, and fonts look great.
BTW, although macOS does marginally better on my 32" 4K Dell IPS display at home, here Windows even further increases its font rendering dominance with fractional scaling and cleartype.
As is often the case with Apple, there is a (paid) third-party software tool that works around their attempts to improve matters, namely BetterDisplay: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay
As I wrote in my notes some years ago when this became apparent, this is just the company's philosophy. They want to control all the hardware. They will begrudgingly let you use some third party displays, but they pick their battles to look good. In this case, it does feel quite user-hostile.
Ran into a M1-specific bug in the ruff vscode extension, where the arm64 extension build bundles the x86_64 ruff binary. Worked-around, and then reported at https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-vscode/issues/364
I've been looking at Apple's MLX machine learning / array framework for Apple Silicon https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx as well as at CoreML because I'm curious whether this will give me faster Jina AI embeddings inference on the M1 than I'm currently getting with the PyTorch MPS backend, which is muuuuuch slower on this M1 Pro 10C / 16C GPU / 16C neural than PyTorch CUDA on my oooold GeForce RTX2070 with 8GB.
Anyone can recommend personal #wiki engine / notetaking with sync that has first-class #markdown support and can be easily edited on PC (#linux, #windows) and #iphone ? I don't really want #obsidian as it requires subscription that is comparable to e.g. #notion
@blami check out #Logseq (https://logseq.com): it's open source, cross platform, has mobile apps, is offline first, comes with exceptional Markdown (and org!) support, has a graph view, is extensible and roam like. Sync is in beta to supporters only but with #SyncThing it's fairly easy to do.
Or for a more nerdy solution, check-out #Emacs with #orgroam.
Switching back from #obsidian and #logseq to #emacs and #orgmode (+#orgroam) feels like a step from someone else's home into a thriving forest: such a rich eco-system! Found #systemcrafters an invaluable resource to get quickly from vanilla emacs to something which exceeds or is on par with the alternatives in all aspects that matter: configurability, extendability, control, speed, resources, android support via #orgzly, themes, #foss, local first, future proof,....
So I’ve given it a few weeks and I’m totally into #OrgRoam for my notes. Capturing stuff is easy and I’m already programmed to save changes with c-c c-c from magit commits.
However, I have yet to use the backlinks, using search always seems to give me what I want. Maybe that will change when I have thousands of notes?
