Tiddly wiki’s super powerful killer feature is “Transclusion” + “Scripting”. Even eMacs org mode lacks this to be easily usable . However the problem with tiddlywiki is saving to the wiki is not straightforward and requires all kinds of hac

Would like to hear opinions of people who are actually CEOs or leaders of large orgs today. I think it’s a generational thing and that the next Google or Apple when it arrives will be fully remote and that will be one of its differentiating

I think this has a lot of potential. Specially for the female demographic as a safety “device”. Think of the security uses when it can be put in “security or guard mode” as an always on, always recording , gps enabled, in communication with

I think you all might have it wrong as to why it’s ten minutes. Here is how I see it: YC is playing a numbers game. Their whole play is to give money to those N founders who they think have the highest probability that their idea could beco

I don’t think people felt dread when ev’s came onto the market first or as we transition to a sustainable energy future. Point being not all progress is equal. Some progress is more equal than other ;)

Does it bother anybody that he is promoting his own article by posting it? I have seen this and many other comments by this user as what seems like a funnel to book time with him and eventually be a paying customer. I am not sure how I feel

Look into Orgmode. The challenge you are describing is of the cost of context switching between multiple tools as all your information that you need to recall to do your work (say about a project or a topic of what have you) is living in d
