Significantly better performance if you have a lot of notes. Better sync if you use that. NewTags is pretty sweet: https://discuss.logseq.com/t/introducing-newtags-with-exampl... <-- MASSIVELY improved my meeting no

I never have more than like 10 tabs open at a time, so likely wont be helpful to me, but I find this super interesting! Can someone explain what normal people use so many tabs for? It seems to be super common to have tons and tons open. Are

The data is local, obsidian is just a markdown viewer at it's core. They have sync but that's a paid for product. Their model is selling to large companies and sync users. Not data sales.

I love how this is formatted - reading it in those little blocks with an image to make it more clear. It is a joy to read. The actual point itself is somewhat interesting too. "curse" is a strong word though.

He notes in the blog post that he didn't actually use his airmiles account more than a couple proof of concepts (the IM stage) - he also says not to actually do this - it was just a creative bit of hacking.

Looks like this one is free: https://fmworldcup.com/product/the-forecasting-power-exceler... The video alone lays out how these things work, very interesting. My brain started solutioning right away. Lots of fun.

At the bottom of the page is a crowbar... maybe you should see if it's useful!

If you use the barrel jack you now have an extra USB port you can use for stuff! If you forget your barrel jack connector you can borrow a USB charger and it'll work! Win-win!

People will search on Tiktok for things like "how to get game working on linux" or "how to fix a computer" or whatever. They wont bother with Google and go straight to tiktok.

SEO rears it's ugly head again - yes, articles have gotten much longer, why? Because the Google bots think longer content = more authoritative content. It's not actually a direct correlation, but enough people take that as gospel

I guess it depends on the position - if you have to work with people as a regular part of your position, social skills would be a part of the role, an important one at that.

While not perfectly matching to actual usage - interest has dropped MASSIVELY. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&q=... It's kind of interesting to see stuff like that.

If they told the parents they were photoshopped instead of AI made, would that have changed anything? Curious if we change the language used if that changes how people think of it...

I always bring this back to photoshopping. It's been around forever. That teacher in the article - what if she was photoshopped instead of "deep faked" would anything have been different? Photoshopping has been around forever

Not sure what you are implying here - just because something is free doesn't mean you can use it in a commercial product....

For a heavy joplin user - can you compare the features? It looks like an awesome UI, but wanna make sure itll be good before I jump! I care about longevity, will I get local .md files so I can easily back up and have them to move to other p

That little stinger at the end was not as surprising as they thought it was :P It's very cool tech, but it's far from transparent. It has a very obvious "autotune" like sound to it that jumps right out. when they edited

It has buttons you can push! Seriously, for an instrument, the feel of the buttons is kind of a big deal. This is meant for live "playing" as well as recording, so the feel of the buttons rather than a touch screen is important. Y

Just an FYI - the "is a hotdog a sandwich" part is actually from a super popular podcast called exactly that (in that the people giving the "answer" and arguing are the hosts of the show). They go into tons of other topi

When courts still use lie detector tests and first person accounts as evidence (both of which have been proven to be close to useless), this will take a while for an actual solution to come by.

Even in music it is not that helpful to be honest. Eg. most live shows you tune the instruments to the piano. If the piano is slightly out of tune, someone with perfect pitch will be annoyed the entire time trying to deal with that while ev
