Changes that have worked for me: - stop reading any form of "push news" (so, no Google News, Apple News etc) - whenever you feel the urge to read something, save to read-later service (I use Instapaper) - print subscription to Eco

Hmm, I would've expected them to double down on differentiation within Julia (via Zygote etc)

I'd recommend picking one between (1) Fastmail and (2) Hey. There are some pros and cons, but both are good. I went with Fastmail.

Not the same thing, but something close: if you have _enough_ prior information stored, something like DevonThink can pick out "related fragments" (i.e. while running locally on privately owned data).

Hmm, OTOH the _only_ reason I like LogSeq is because of the outliner format. I think there are a lot of different styles out there which manifest in how different people end up using these tools. I ended up moving from Obsidian to Logseq ba

I recently got into it and it is exhilarating. There's so much to it that it's easy to get lost. I don't even care for the "deep math" parts of it, it has _so many_ APIs for real-world data that "plain old expl

Churned through a lot of ideas/apps for this over time, what works (not 'best' but 'well enough') for me right now is LogSeq. - Daily notes as roots - Local storage - Plain text storage - "wiki-links" - Ba

So, can we have Twitter with its content transition over to a "public good" and "public service", anytime soon? I am biased here because it's the only place I have any sort of social 'presence or interaction&#x

Recently (re-)discovered Mathematica, and found spanning a much larger set of domains than I expected (also, very approachable).

Started a WSJ subscription when the pandemic started. No more doom-scrolling. Life is good. Also, reading the newspaper becomes a fun ritual. I don't _need_ to know when something happens the same day. I sometimes read the paper a day

If you squint just right, Sublime Text, or even BBEdit, can serve this purpose (i.e. keeping aside Emacs and tmux+neovim for a moment)

Interesting how the paper uses notation similar to Mathematica today i.e. `foo -> bar` to denote replacement, and curly braces to group together a set of these.

Was looking for a Gmail alternative, several months ago, and had to pick between these two. I went with Fastmail and am very happy. Tons of aliases that are easy to use, the UX is actually _much better_ than Gmail.

OTOH, Neovim can work in a remote SSH session, fully featured within a terminal. (Yes, I know people don't do a lot of SSH-ing and coding these days)

fwiw, I used to use ST2/3 a long time back and stopped completely. I recently discovered their Discord (should _really_ be communicated better!) and downloaded ST4 to try it out, and ... there is nothing as SNAPPY as ST4. The LSP integ
