  • Vim was my primary tool of development for over a decade, and I used Obsidian for about 3 years. However, in early 2024, I tried out Emacs and never looked back.

    I find it functionally equivalent to Vim albeit perceivably slower, and Org-mode (+Denote) is far superior than Markdown and Obsidian with its slew of plugins.

    Migrating my 3 years worth of notes was a pain since I was using Obsidian’s variant of Markdown syntax to link other notes. In the end I gave up trying to convert those notes, and used them alongside my new Org-mode notes, thanks to Denote’s interoperability.

    In fact, Denote’s naming philosophy is so powerful yet simple that I started using it for all documents and downloads.







  • What a weird thing to argue.

    It doesn’t matter whether the list is part of the video or whether it was created by PewDiePie.

    The list, in the screenshot of OP, is garbage.

    Besides, the same screenshot is of a video that shows the list along with the name of the channel and the video title (which correlates with other news of the creator releasing an anti-Google video). So the list, for all purposes of this discussion, is part of the video.






  • I am an ardent believer in it, given how many times it has saved our assets at work, often to the point of annoying people. That said, I usually end up being right for insisting on more time and/or data, so it’s all good.

    However, my spoonerific brain always gets this twisted to “measure once, cut twice”.

    I unknowingly wrote this once in a comment about asking for more metrics during a design review.

    My colleague (the author of said design document) replied with the relevant metrics and a comment saying “measure never, cut forever”. :D
