Another reference to Zettelkasten! I've only recently become aware of it, though it's pretty clear to see how that concept and the bibliography concerns here complement each other. Anyone have any experience combining the Z method with good reference management for the long-term?


I think most implementations of a Zettelkasten _does_ include a reference system, but it is not explicitly a _part_ of the Zettelkasten, but simply a complementary tool.

I can’t comment on “long-term”, but I have been working on a paper this past week and have used my Zettelkasten notes and references extensively. Writing the draft has mostly consisted of copying snippets and titles from the ZK. Sine all my notes have references in place, the draft already have references ready to be converted to something LaTeX will handle.

I’ve also used the reverse: finding which notes reference a particular paper.


If anything, the excerpt that the tweet shares from the blog post ("Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain") underplays how aggressive the post is. Alone, the tweet's image looks at first like a footnote disclosing funding sources, but the full context does indeed seem like systematic criticism of the briefs and everyone around them.

It would probably be in bad taste to theme it so...on the nose, but I'd believe that it's a good time to be releasing a fresh game right now. It's certainly a terrible time for games in development, with work collaboration maybe disrupted and with all the big publicity events getting cancelled, and it's a bad time for other media that bank a lot on physical releases (e.g. theatrical releases for movies getting pushed back), but the at-home media out now could find an audience with more time than they otherwise might have.


I don't know. I started playing Pandemic again. Play is a form of experimentation and learning, and what better way to experiment than zombie games?


I don't think it would be in bad taste if it's clearly hyperbolic and perhaps it is coupled with informational messages. PornHub is famous for doing this.

There's also a funeral services company in Rome whose death-themed ads have become a meme ("don't worry antivaxers, we will always be ready to help if you die"), we love it. :-)


Antivaxxers are generally not liked very much; it’s fairly “safe” to make fun of them. Doing so for coronavirus when people have family members who may have it is significantly less so.

Is there empirical research that corroborates the claim that a particular theme, mathematically symmetric or not, reliably improves productivity? Or are those claims directed more at the accompanying book and less about the theme itself?


It uses a physical model of color, not a perceptual model, and it ignores ambient light color, so it's already clearly missing the boat on scientific colors.

The example it a vomit of color where punctuated, tags, and content all scream for attention with equally loud voices.

The website says it's having technical difficulties. In hindsight this is probably true in the literal sense, but because of the inherent cruelty of puns, I've been puzzling over it for a few minutes trying to figure out if it's just an elaborate pun I don't get yet.


What are the chances I'll end up maintaining intense, unwavering eye contact with someone doing something lewd in half of their screen?


Where is our computer vision if it can't even recognize cocks?


Looks like this drew some downvotes, but it gets a +1 from me. Reliable realtime "censoring" in video chat platforms _not intended for sexual content_ would make informal video chat a lot more user friendly. I'd totally video chat with random strangers, that sounds fun. I'd join a video chat group hangout (Hacker New Live, haha) but I'd prefer everyone kept their pants on. Doubly so if I'm going to join this chat at work or in public.


Given what I know about the internet, this would promptly be subject to groups of users constantly testing it to see what they could get away with before it's the recognizer catches up.


hey, that's machine learning baby. Sounds to me like it's a successful market.


The thought of recruiting beta testers for such a service ...


This is probably the result of poorly labeled training data.

I always get labeled as a dick. It might be because I look like I a mushroom, since I'm just a fun guy.

Quick edit since I just wrote a dumb joke: This actually looks insanely fun and is something I would share with non-tech people if it was hosted somewhere one day.


Hot dog or not hot dog.


This brings back many a bad (and hilarious) memory of Chat Roulette.


The article mentions a few times the subject's recommendation to get away from caffeine and alcohol. For people with a bit more background on what he's talking about, is he recommending a blanket ban on the substances altogether or just to stop using them as a crutch for waking up or falling asleep?


My doctor says at most have a cup of coffee or tea in the morning and decaf no later than 2pm. Anything after that chamomile/herbal. It worked like magic.


I'm hardly familiar with all the trouble this movie went through to get made, I'm really, really happy with the main actors that finally got to see it through. Jonathan Pryce and Adam Driver have such great interactions in the small scenes of this movie, and those really made it for me despite the legitimate problems this article brings up.
