Wow, I'd lose those sticks and my work. I use Winget and Scoop to manage packages so nothing's portable. Mainly because I take this machine with me everywhere.

but 20 years ago things were very different

i work graveyards and most of my good brain time is at work

and my work isn't related to dev stuff at all

so the machines are pretty locked down

Oh yeah that makes sense then. And yeah things were different back then. Not many fundamental tech to build off of, elektron and such.

i had to fill out several requisition requests multiple times just to get office and acrobat on my main machine to do my main job functions. and i work for a fortune 10 😅

So does Dendron support Asciidoc?

Okay so I just went to my "students" file, and I made links to student.kitten, student.cat, like that. So do I have to ... Oh wait I can just open those links right?

Nope, that didn't work.

Nope. We don't support Asciidoc at the moment.

It finally worked! I can just write some wiki links, and with like almost all my Markdown extensions and Github CoPilot disabled, I can open links.

Crap y'all I think I'm in love with Asciidoc. Thanks.

longer-time dendron users, how often do you guys use internal linking compared to hanging everything on the hierarchy? (i'm asking from a note discovery/serendipity lens but honestly they're core features so they should apply to all workflows)

internal linking as in linking to a block in the same note? or do you mean wikilinks to another note?

yeah, wikilinks to another note

For me it depends on the what the note is for. For short-lived notes like meeting notes the answer is rarely, but for things like task notes that I might create now and come back months later I'll make sure to link to other relevant notes.

Same for me as well. I tend to start off with a shallow hierarchy until I know how I want to structure notes on a particular subject. When the time comes, I decide if I want to link to the note I already have and add context around the links, or refactor the notes into a more suitable location in my new hierarchy.

does anyone here use ocr Tools and if you do what's your favorite?

I don't know if this is a possible feature that vscode even offers. Is there a way to lock the calendar into place at the bottom of the sidebar so it does scroll down to hide most of the calendar when other panels grow?

sorry, not sure i understand. are you saying you want a minified view of the calendar view?

No the pic is an example of what I don't want. I'm hoping to make the full calendar widget visible at all times regardless what else is happening in the side bar

Not sure if what you are asking is possible, but if I want to pin a view, I drag and drop it to the right-side panel.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to make a view stick to the bottom of the side bar in VSCode. I know this isn't what you've asked, but having the calendar view on the top would at the very least prevent having to scroll within the calendar. What @Joshi suggested would also work.

Hierarchical file names going mainstream (fewer levels of depth than dendron though) https://twitter.com/buildsghost/status/1522281718643789826

file nesting becoming stable is awesome. its been on insiders for a while but i've been hesitant to recommend it while it was still experimental. if you want a more compact file explorer with dendron, try putting the following line into your workspace settings:

json
"explorer.fileNesting.enabled": true,
"explorer.fileNesting.patterns": {
    "*": "${basename}.*.md",
}

something else that's interesting about the latest vscode release is all the markdown additions: - drag and drop files into the editor to create a md link - find all references to header|links|files|urls inside of md - rename headers|links inside md (and propagate the changes to all places where the link is used) - rename md files (and propagate changes to all links to said md files)

I usually use vscode to write python - data science use case code. Is there any documentation for taking notes in dendron for developers. Or rather how do you use dendron as a developer writing code.

I don't have much experience with this, but I think you could use the native workspaces functionality for this:

Thanks alot for this !
