I'm in the same boat and curious if other more experienced users have any resources to point to. My anedoctal data point is that after starting with doom emacs and having problems to set it up on another machine i fund out all i needed

That was an interesting read. Even more if you take a look into another of the author's text on the decline of personal thought [1]. I believe the author is engaging with very interesting questions: what is knowledge? How can I achieve

I'm keeping a detailed log of my activities in orgmode. But only because I have to input the hours in another system. It is interesting that even though the categories summarized are from the org-clock-table, I write small descriptions

On my master's thesis, I ended up using a line that I wrote when preparing the template at the beginning of my 'journey': "I thank everyone who contributed to making this work possible." By the end of the master&#x2

Tangent since it is not exclusive to image processing, but When I was studying Fourier Transforms at university I recall that the book "Fourier Series" by Gerogi P. Tolstov helped me a lot. Just throwing it out there in case it he

Jago: A life underwater [1]. It's been a while so I'll refer to the synopsis [2]: "JAGO: A LIFE UNDERWATER is the story of Rohani - an 80-year-old hunter who hobbles around on land but who dives like a fish on a single breath

I think the Makani documentary does a good job explaining the problem in less than 2 min [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/qd_hEja6bzE?t=392 Regarding the size x quantity, I believe the reason lies in where the best wind is, which

Haven't read the whole article yet, but the state of latex editing in emacs diagram caught my attention. Anyone has a clue what software was used to create it? Found the color schemes and hyperlinks pretty neat.

This reminded me of what Audre Lorde said about poetry in the documentary "Berlin Years (84-92)": one of the objectives of poetry is to change feelings. This made me look at poetry differently and slowly grow an appreciation for i

Hey, this Discord server seems to be a valuable resource. Do you mind sharing where to find it? I would love to try to get a deeper dive into some math subjects sometime in near future.

I have started using emacs in 2016 because of org-mode. It was powerful enough to make me use emacs on a daily basis since them. However, I have been using RStudio/Sublime as IDE/editor, not emacs. Curiously last weekend I have fo

I've tried Mendeley, Zotero and Jabref and stuck with Jabref for my masters thesis. Couldn't recommend it enough, even though haven't given Zotero a serious try. Synced bibtex and pdfs folder in linux and windows with dropbox

I came in just to give a shout out to Docear as well. There is an extensive blog post comparing Docear, Zotero and Mendeley made by Joeran Beel (Docear's team)[0]. I can't recommend it enough. It helped to get the review of my MSc
