Well, and serial killers…

Bonjour de France!

Wow, chill, I stated how it’s not in line with the community. Just thought it was worth the mention as I quite like it, it’s got plenty of UX and features I would love to see in a FOS offering but just haven’t!

I’m part of the community even though I’m not a zealot, in this specific instance I’m very consciously sacrificing a bit of privacy for what I consider a better UX.

My thinking was that best case someone more in the know would point out an app that’s just as good or better and offers the lacking privacy…

Ooooh, please spread that far and wide if you ever get around to it!!

I’ve never used a proper note taking app, but recently started using Tana (Startup, free-to-use with some limitations after giving a credit card and cancelling during a two week trial).

It’s not open source and it only supports full HTML bulleted list or a heavily proprietary JSON format (which is kinda useless outside Tana) exports. Also most of the paid features are AI BS which I don’t mind missing out on, but there are file-size limits on the free version.

However, I’m finding the UX and features so far amazing! It’s got easy relationships and a tagging hierarchy systems to which you can add fields and it supports a whole bunch of view options and query stuff. You can scroll through this 46 min YT video to get a feel for it!

Edit: forgot to mention at time pf writing (felt it was implied I guess), it’s cloud only, no local, one of the reasons I feel it’s not ideal

Awesome to see how we’ve come full circle Since Jaquard’s day

Its not really that physical, haven’t read the article but the way “dimensions” are used is best explained via algebra:

Say you have a formula x=6, you can visualise the value on a number line from 0 to 10, with a little mark at the 6. That’s one dimension, a line.

Bringing the next dimension in you can add a new variable/unknown like y. Given the formula x-y=6, often formatted as y=x-6, you can now visualise the value or the solution with a graph, the number line for x horizontally and y vertically (2D). Now instead of marking a dot on the number line you draw a line through the graph where y=x-6, e.g at coordinates (x=6,y=0).

In a similar way you can add a variable z, which you can draw as a new line perpendicular to the other two, turning the plane into a three dimensional space with 3 number lines, one for each variables.

This is where things get complicated, you add the fourth variable, bringing things into the fourth dimension. As you eluded to, it can sometimes be represented as time, so the contents of the 3D space from before can change with time, a bit harder to imagine but think of the new 4th dimension of time as being a slider like on a video player, dragging it around to “play the video” in the other three dimensions. Instead of the 4th dimension being time though, you can also think of it as another number line added to the graph with the other 3, the problem is that it’s impossible to visualise, we can’t draw a fourth line perpendicular to the other three. So we just say its there and keep solving the algebra as if it was there.

That’s the basics anywho, theres a bunch of material online, both text and videos if you wanna dive further, khan academy being a good place to start, or maybe brilliant.org.

Dan Carlin had an interesting podcast episode of Hardcore History on this/related subject about the history of child rearing and the unfortunate conditions that were super common prior to the modern day which might interest you.

Well, quick buck or not, check their economy before and after and report back to explain what else exactly they could leverage to their advantage

Yeah! Same. Shame it wasn’t just a limited series, not convinced the format’s gonna hold. But Ted Danson is hilarious and the show runners did good with the Good Place, so lets hope for the best!

1. What?
2. Who hurt you?
3. What?

I’m playing through BG3 with a good friend too, we’re actually planning on doing another, wildly different, playthrough when we’re done with this one. We’re playing sorta chaotic/neutral good right now and intend to do an evil campaign next with different characters and classes and possibly even modded.

Now I obviously haven’t tried it yet but the game has so much hidden stuff, branching paths and different-to-play classes I’m fairly confident you can play it at least twice and have an almost entirely new experience!
