Notes Against Note-Taking Systems

sashachapin.substack.com/p/notes-against-note-taking-systems

Kind of controversial take on note taking systems. I can relate though, because i was lost in a burden of creating perfect knowledge management system for a long time without creating any knowledge. Simplest approach with commonplace notebook is what working for me now.
Comments are also useful.

Getting lost in your knowledge management system is a fantastic way to avoid creating things.
Most heart-stopping writing comes from synthesizing the previously unarticulated in the moment. Rather than reaching for your database, try channeling what’s in the air at this very second. These read/write errors are what we call originality.
Leonardo da Vinci kept all of his notes in one big book. If he liked something he put it down. This is known as a commonplace book, and it is about how detailed your note-taking system should be unless you plan on thinking more elaborately than Leonardo da Vinci.
Shun the useless adoption of the aesthetic of the useful. When something can be like work or like play, never make it work.

ratfactor.com/forth/the_programming_language_that_writes_itself.html

An exploration of the evolution and meaning of the Forth programming language and its context in history.

A long long article about Forth. One probably already knows most of stuff there, but it's fun nevertheless.

Backing Up Your Data against Geomagnetic Storms and EMPs

briantomasik.com/backing-data-geomagnetic-storms-emps

It might be worth to prepare your data for a big electric spark. The spark is unlikely, but still. Your safest bets are discs and paper, the two optical storage media.

Reflections on the Internet: What It Should Be and Why

cheapskatesguide.org/articles/reflections-on-the-internet.html

In a sense, we have begun to worship the Internet while we have lost our understanding of the basic principles that led to its creation a mere generation and a half ago. In this article I give as clear a picture as I am capable of what the Internet could be to each of us and why it should be that way.

Big text.
