Thank you for the link.

I realized the way I was making my notes was not exactly a Zettelkasten methodology and i was making not a comprehensive note but long tedious one admittedly I was able to structure the said topic but I was just doing a cut and copy and paste of the notes but they never reflected what I knew after doing that. So looks like I have to start all over again 😢

well, long notes are good, you can really expand on them if your note taking is easy to outline. I have a few outlines I do so I can expand on things, and even schedule things to review, research further and do like an after-thought once I have some time to process things. don't have the same workflow in dendron yet, since I've been on org-mode for a long time but I'm working on getting to that

Ok will keep that in mind 👍

TIL how Ph.D. works: [The illustrated guide to a Ph.D.](https://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/)

the way my phd friends have described it is trying to find a pimple in the bubble of knowledge to grow into 😅

ha-ha, that matches what the comic says very well

TIL: you can show diff between multiple commits on github using

github.com/<username>/<repo_name>/compare/<commit1>...<commit2>

eg. https://github.com/dendronhq/handbook/compare/6adc8f73e8abe060541d209daf5005dd730eb456..532f429bfdd9a293f7c1bbca3805c16ef84ea48f

haha, yep, hidden quite well, unlike gitlab that makes it very easy to do this

i haven't used gitlab as much. is there anything else thats easier/possible to do in gitlab vs github?

- the ability to self host for free 😄 - time tracking is included in gitlab - easier ACL - CI/CD k8s integration is the bomb there's a few other things where github is catching up but still not as nice as gitlab premium: - burndown charts - easier project management - confidential issues

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Moriondo invented the espresso machine! I would not be able to do many things if I wasn't fueled by espresso.

TIL that Github has a built-in VSCode--open any repo and press

.

🤯

I love this feature but how do you get back to the old screen from the VS code mode 😭

This is so good for PR reviews 👀

@kevins8 More stuff that comes to mind for additional benefits around GitLab land: - You also can have things like private GitLab Pages for private repos, where a user has to have permissions to the repo to be able to see the GitLab Pages content. - I've used GitLab Pages projects as ways to be able to also easily preview what an MR/PR is modifying/rendering on a site. Forks can generate their own GitLab Pages sites so that you can view them before merging changes. Also compatible with private repos, forks, and private GitLab Pages - GitLab CI allows for you to create CI templates that can then be referenced from other projects, in case you are standardizing on how you run segments of CI/CD. I suppose when you create a GitHub Action that can be called/used by others, this is similar functionality in a way maybe? - GitLab has the concept of "Groups" rather than just how GitHub has "Organizations" - you can have nested groups that all have their own fine-grained permissions model. For an example, I work on Salt Project, with projects in

/saltstack/

, and docs for our open source published sites can be found in

/saltstack/open/docs

-> https://gitlab.com/saltstack/open/docs - Companies that have policies around using open source internally may result in inner sourcing in order to secure and properly replicate the supply chain of software. This could mean making use of internal, private source control systems and CI/CD, of which GitLab I know is used at many places - GitHub Actions is catching up more and more, mostly having taken notes from how GitLab does their stuff it feels like when it comes to their CI

today I learned about a bunch of new domain suffixes https://www.name.com/domains and while searching around for clever names also learned what an engram is

md
[http://engrammi.click](engrammic lick)

Not only that, but GitHub has lots of shortcuts via

?

- for example, you can get a command palette to open up with `Ctrl+K`/`Cmd+K`, among other things! - https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-github/keyboard-shortcuts A lot of websites actually support just entering

?

and seeing keyboard shortcuts available (Mastodon, Twitter, GitHub, GitLab, etc.), which is pretty cool 🙂

TIL about Staticrypt: https://github.com/robinmoisson/staticrypt

To add to this convo: TIL that

*.new

domains are being used as shortcuts/short urls https://whats.new/

wonder if this will catch on. seems like it could also be made as a convention (eg. dendron.so/new)

how about http://animalsi.new

or http://twistedSi.new

This reminds me of the

/now

page convention ( https://sive.rs/nowff ). I wonder if it'd make sense for Dendron to have a "Now" page to showcase whatever is being developed in the medium term? Sort of like a highlight of the quarterly features developers are working on, or whatever else would make sense to highlight that's at least one level of abstraction above the weekly change logs?

i think that would make a lot of sense. we actually do this process internally so would make sense to share it

If this link doesn't take me to the scooby doo theme song I'm going to be disappointed

I'm disappointed
