The concept of a hyperverse, with rapid, contextual hyperlinking and low to no markup links that Hyperbole provides is quite interesting. Speed to capture and retrieve knowledge, especially in software engineering contexts, is critical but

This post is about Hyperbole's HyWiki package for knowledge management. I've been doing a deep dive into knowledge management and PKMSs, and in my research I've found that HyWiki offers the best of all words. It has a truly u

I have never heard anyone think this way: “The main mistake people usually make is thinking Newton or Einstein were just scaled-up good students, that a genius comes to life when you linearly extrapolate a top-10% student. The reason such p

You should check out the HyWiki part of the Emacs Hyperbole hypertext package available from melpa or elpa-devel. It utilizes Org mode for notes and WikiWords to automatically interlink them as you type. The WikiWords work in any kind of

The same thing that has happened forever. People practice and gain skills on their own time before being welcomed into the professional community. Skilled new college graduate programmers have often put in a decade or more of learning bef

Someone once said to Doug: “I don’t know what Silicon Valley will do when it runs out of your inventions.” I had the pleasure of working with him. He was brilliant and kind. The world just wasn’t ready for him.

Why can’t you keep the calling interfaces of functions as close to the Py libraries as possible, simplifying the transition for everyone? Will that really destroy the performance increase? Common calling interfaces make everything much si

Probably because many people struggle to read with any reasonable level of comprehension. People reading this site are not representative of the public at large, as you know.

GNU Hyperbole for rapid, implicit linking of all your programming artifacts and management support for handling technical complexity. One of those you can get for free.

Actually, using Org mode and the Hyperbole package in Emacs solves all the problems listed in easy to use ways except you get much more editing dunctionality rather than just the features requested. Don’t reinvent the wheel; just learn some

Emacs standard/core key sequences (not just single keystrokes), e.g. C-x C-f to open files.

If a code editor does not support custom binding to sequences of keys (rather than single key presses), then its not really good for programmers.

You may also be interested that the Git tip of the master branch of the GNU Hyperbole package has a nicely designed link interface for controlled playback of youtube videos, allowing for easy link creation as well. See the hsys-youtube.el

Engelbart was always dead on. But very few listened, and now, unfortunately he’s just dead. And we are stuck with unchangeable web pages laid out for graphic design purposes rather than understanding and information reuse. It will be ano

Great idea. Keep expanding it as you have time.

EmacsSpeak lets you select just the text you want and reads it to you with some context as fast as you can listen. Much finer control available then in other systems.

Doug was a gem and we will be working to bring his ideas into the mainstream for many years to come. Steve Jobs was a big fan of Doug’s and would light up when he saw him but never funded his work as far as I know. Logitech gave him an of
