    I was today sun cycles when I learned that the capital of Estonia is ranked highly as a digital city (top 10 and between SiliConartist Valley and New Amsterdam https://www.theage.com.au/business/small-business/tech-capitals-of-the-world-20090619-co0t.html) and that its location on the gulf of Finland has some Estonians pushing for Nordic inclusion

    They have quite a bit of adoption in the python / Jupyter ecosystems, quite a few libraries make use of their format for both data validation and column recommendation systems. I use their table metadata format in this data visualization plugin: https://pypi.org/project/datasette-nteract-data-explorer/

    Hi, today I learnt (via @Joshi's guidance) that it is possible to move a note AND all their children notes using the
    Move Note
    command. I hadn't spotted this icon on the command picker (see image below). Here's the documentation page: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/98ywiw4211q9sx0v98lbo88/ and here's my PR to improve instructions for this use case: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site/pull/623

    TIL: You can permalink to a specific page in a PDF, with the
    #page=8
    syntax, ex.
    https://www.ethicalads.io/prospectus/ethicalads-advertiser-prospectus.pdf#page=8
    - this could mean that if you are publishing a site with Dendron that includes a PDF that gets linked to, you could link to specific pages. Didn't know about that. Learned from seeing this tweet today: https://twitter.com/ericholscher/status/1569386224393293825

    TIL not only can you embed wildcard notes using

    but this also supports heading references
    ![my.notes.starts.with.*#Section2]

    I've liked using this against my meeting notes since the templates all include a follow-up section. Makes it easy for me to see all tasks that have come out of meetings!

    Thanks for mentioning this feature, @rlh1994 , and your use of it, @ScriptAutomate ! I've been trying to figure out how to make tasks & task notes within different projects more findable. I think this will massively helpโ€”it seems easier to dial in appropriate levels than overloading Todo Tree with tags.
