It’s insane obsidian isn’t open source, since it’s just a fancy vscode plugin or fork basically (idk how they developed it obviously but that’s all you’d need to do). That’s why I don’t use it. It’s too simple not to be OSS

Yeah Logseq is actually a much better knowledge management tool than obsidian. It’s literally built for that, whereas obsidian requires you to force structure onto it.

Just because other tools use # in other ways doesn’t mean they aren’t useful the way they are now in Logseq. It’s just a one character shorthand rather than four characters. I find tags as they are in Evernote and Obsidian exceedingly worthless for all but the most strictly organized individuals, not so in Logseq. Call them what you will.

A query is helpful when you need it, but rarely needed.

Well I think the first thing is just simply that documents aren’t notes, so you wouldn’t write those things in Logseq.

What you are writing in Logseq is a zettlekasten, which is just a personal knowledge graph. And in a knowledge graph, everything needs to relate somehow to everything else, that’s why it has to be an outline.

So things can relate to the journal date they were written on, to their parent and children concepts, and to the links that they contain. Every idea has at least a relationship to the date you wrote it, but hopefully you can link that idea to more than just that relationship. You want to organically rediscover that next time you make a cake, that eggs are bad for your allergies, and be able to trace that you discovered that at this doctors appointment on this date.

Otherwise, how would you ever find anything? And more importantly, how would you rediscover it organically when researching other concepts in your graph?

Obsidian purports to help you create organized knowledge graphs, but it makes you plan your organization up front. Logseq lets it evolve naturally and organically, by giving you the necessary tools and constraints.

I actually find the lack of distinction between a tag and a wiki link a breath of fresh air. So many other apps make a meaningless distinction between them and make you choose ahead of time a styleguide for how you plan to use both. Logseq makes a queryable style enforced and then you adapt to using it. Very different

Minhash might be able to produce a similarity metric without needing exactness and without revealing the training data.

You could always just do reverse search on the open dataset to see if it’s an exact copy (or over a threshold).

You MIGHT even be able to do that while masking the data using hashing.

Yeah but you learn it and it’s a far more organized approach

Use Logseq. It’s amazing IMO. And OSS

I’ve been in an acquisition like this. I feel for anyone who has their startup work dismantled by an acquisition just looking to hire and squash their product.

My one other media type is “the cloud”.

I use hard drives, I can’t imagine trying to put something on a disk or something.

One thing I do recommend, I keep one unencrypted hard drive copy in the safest most hidden part of my house. This is in case encryption software disappears, or I just forget my encryption keys or something.

Other than that, one encrypted copy of files in a thumb drive in my wallet (selected files, not everything). One in my car. One in my firesafe. Then daily cloud backup.

IME a language is as good as its package manager and libraries, and cargo is great.

Go routines are certainly special and hard to match, but rust has all the normal abstractions of a language like C, just with a borrow checker so you can avoid memory leaks, write after read, etc.

I don’t know but I don’t think rust has that problem. In fact I’ve always thought its data ownership paradigm is literally the most optimal approach to concurrency and parallelism. I really love using rayon in rust for instance.

I think once you get into rust you just have a hard time going back, and it doesn’t feel “hard” anymore. I can practically rust as easily as I can python for scripting and for API servers.

Rust really only gets hard when doing library development IMO. That’s when you need lifetimes and well chosen types. But that’s also why Rust libraries are superb.

I thought they just did that in the US

Damn. I wonder where all the calculus identities and mathematical puzzle solving abilities in my head disappeared to then. Surely not into the void that is Wolfram Mathematica. Surely not…

When was the last time you did math without a calculator?

Meh, a nation, just like a corporation, must protect itself. Either way, political economy will eventually “go green”. In a lot of ways it already has.

China is a fascist state, it’s making some of the hardest green pushes on the globe.
