When you get hooked on SuperMemo and embrace the idea of incremental reading, it becomes the primary software on your computer. You end up spending more time in SM than you do in the browser. People use it not just to memorize flashcards, b

Looks great. Would be amazing if I could use it as an alternative frontend for my vimwiki, which is also markdown. Only thing missing is that links like these should work: [anchor](path) As that's the way vimwiki generates them :)

Yes yes, I agree. The way I tackle the threat of detachment from my cards is to aggressively delete cards as soon as I see boredom creeping in. I switched from Anki to Supermemo, though. Much better for managing context and even keeping org

Anki is great but Supermemo is where it's at. Commonplace book on steroids.

I do this too but this article makes me think that it may be better if everything u was one file folding avoids visual clutter anyway

Yes, I retired Evernote when I discovered Vimwiki. I keep wondering, though, am I shortchanging myself by not using org. mode? But I don't know emacs and I am not sure whether it makes sense to make such a costly transition.

I agree. If anything, tinkering and iterating is the best approach to deal with complexity, which the author says will emerge from the new technology.

My problem too. I actually can't fall asleep because my brain keeps throwing out random ideas at me, like a toddler tugging at my sleeve: "is this solution good enough? no? How about this? No? What about this? No? This?" and

This will come up in any Hackernews thread that mentions spaced repetition, so I might as well mention it to get it over with. Supermemo [1]. SuperMemo is the king of spaced repetition software. Anki uses the algorithm from an earlier versi

I hold the opposite view: I read books to extract intelligence that will help me operate in the world. So I interrogate them like detectives interrogate suspects in movies. I sit alone in a room with a book and point a light at it. By the t

Yes, this is an excellent book. I like how it gets boring towards the end as the discussion turns to USA-Japan import/export issues and other less inspiring subjects. As the book slips into being boring it coincides with the decline of
