My CTO thoroughly believes that within 4-6 years we will no longer need to know how to read or write code, just how to ask an AI to do it. Coincidentally, he also doesn’t code anymore and hasn’t for over 15 years.
Biggest piece of advice, you don’t need to document everything you do in your life. If it’s info you might use in the future, a significant interaction or event, fun tidbit etc, add it in. If it’s just a casual conversation with someone that you don’t learn anything significant or it’s something that you’ll never link to or use again, just keep it as a memory.
I did a lot of over-capturing early on and got a lot of fatigue from it. Now my note making is as I run across things I’ll want to reference in the future (plans that were made, ideas to learn more about later, important phone calls/interactions, notes on articles, updates on projects, etc), with refinement to those ideas coming when I access them again later (or if I’m bored and have time). It’s no longer a drain to grow my PKM, it’s slower but much more meaningful info
Honestly, whatever works for you.
My preferred system is two big directories, one for your daily notes (dailies, journal, etc), and another for literally everything else.
This is how logseq is implemented, and can easily setup emacs org-roam to do it too. It’s very nice because you don’t need to worry about where to put something, throw it in your daily journals and get all the info down there, and link densely. If it’s about a specific topic, link to it and when you go to that topic you’ll see the info in the back links below (logseq does it automatically, emacs take a bit of config). You can then transcribe the important/summary/etc info from all of your aggregated back links into a single well thought out and planned document, or at least a single trimmed down one. Or, just leave all the info in the back links, whatever works best for you
It has org mode, but the links in logseq aren’t compatible with org-roam links, so either you use custom elisp to make logseq links into emacs compatible links and can’t follow links in logseq, or make emacs notes logseq compatible and can’t follow links in emacs.
Also, iirc logseq is planning to drop org mode support when they launch their database update, either that or have it available but not updated anymore.
In my CS degree I would have only learned and used java if not for my optional data science courses, a single class on machine language, a single SQL course, and a c++ course at community college before going to uni.
My data science courses introduced me to matlab, bash, r, Julia, python, machine learning, docker, Linux, and aws. My uni didn’t even have a data science degree, those courses primarily counted towards my math minor since they were under statistics.
The one piece of advice I still give to every CS student I meet is to diversify your classes whenever possible, don’t just stick to the core comp sci classes and take throwaway electives
I use bspwm and I really like the unicorne philosophy of the config files (bspwm controls your windows and such, sxhkd controls keybinds, two separate programs and config files. The bspwm config file is also just a bash file so you can add anything bash related to it easily.
This said, I love the dynamic workspaces on i3 and wish bspwm could replicate them. I don’t like i3 enough to switch to it purely because it’s also on x, but when Nvidia gets better Wayland support I’m definitely hopping ship to sway (i3 on sway basically)… Or when I’m able to swap my 3080 ti for an and gpu at a reasonable price
Quick note, duckduckgo has a free alias email forwarding service and it integrates with bitwarden
My maternal grandmother - extremely nice and sweet, died of breast cancer when I was a kid so I don’t remember much else about her.
My maternal grandfather - convicted for soliciting an underage prostitute (undercover cop), that’s all I know about him and it’s enough. Not sure if he’s even alive.
Paternal grandparents - psychotic religious fanatics (burned our Harry Potter and Mickey the sorcerer books while babysitting when I was a baby, killed multiple of my dad’s pets growing up, etc). Have only seen that grandmother when the grandfather died and at a Christmas party a month later - still psychotic and super rude.
My parents - nicest people you’ll ever meet, I have basically no bad memories from being raised (except my dad only makes broccoli and cauliflower by microwaving it)
I personally use lidarr to download and picard to tag, but use plex/plexamp to listen locally and on my phone
I loved when Republicans were screaming at rage against the machine to stop making political music, like… what machine do you think they’re raging against? The mcdonalds icecream machines?
If you use the paid version of proton you can use basically any third party client (I use thunderbird)
There are an infinite number of solutions, 42 is in at least one of them
What are you using instead of emacs? I’m very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn’t feel slow at all imo
Seconding (thirding) logseq! Your daily journals all show up in one long scrollable page (delimited by the date and such) so you can easily see what happened previous days, etc. If you click one it brings up that page in full screen if you want to focus on it, it works very nicely imo.
You also aren’t limited to just journaling, you can use it for a pkm system. Say that you journal for that day about learning something, you can do this:
When you go to the eulers_formula page, all of that info will be in the links section without having to leave the page. I personally do all that, then write my own summary of the info on the page itself, so I have the original content and my take on it.
It’s also fully foss, you can pay for their sync service to have it available on multiple devices all the time and it’s fully encrypted in transit so they can’t see your info, I personally just use syncthing and haven’t run into any issues using it on my phone and computer unless you try to modify the same file at the same time (which isn’t really something you would ever do)
Vi, vie, voe, vim. I will not explain further.
I’m very partial to doom emacs. I love the emacs ecosystem but the default editor made me want to cry, doom emacs gives the awesome text editing of vim with the awesome ecosystem of emacs (significantly smoother than viper too)
The speciality cakes with images in them when you cut them could be considered sushi
Highly recommend getting on the national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ . Doesn’t stop all spam calls, but it shrunk the amount I got at least
