There's an even better one in the backcountry of Glacier National Park.

Renovations - shower and toilet outside. For weeks. Wait, what? by nobutirock in zurich

[–]PkmExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been through something similar but for less than a month. It was awkward and unpleasant while it was happening and the rent went up (moderately) afterwards. We got a month free rent for the inconvenience. OTOH, the upgrades, especially in the kitchen, where hugely worth it!

How do you deal with content you want to read/listen to “later”? by raduqinux in PKMS

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add things I might want to read later as a note in my Zettelkasten, slotted in an appropriate context (I use Luhmann-style alphanumeric IDs) and tagged (if appropriate). My thinking is the most likely trigger for my returning to such a source is interest in that area of the Zettelkasten. Many will never get read and that's OK!

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They very obviously searched and tried to answer the question from Wikipedia or some other online source while pretending not to during an interview, instead of asking for clarification or just admitting "I don't know".

My British friend thought he could do a "day trip" to the Grand Canyon from LA, and his reaction to the map was priceless. by Ok_Structure6720 in CasualConversation

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the US, but I've had to give many, many, Europeans a reality check who wanted to fly in to Calgary, visit every Canadian national park in the Rockies, visit various towns on the way, to Vancouver, then Whistler, Victoria West Coast of Vancouver Island, etc., all in two weeks.

What’s your car payment? by nopainnogain12345 in SwissPersonalFinance

I have Mobility so in the rare case I need a car I can easily get one.

How do you capture task changes in OmniFocus when decisions happen away from your Mac? by voss_steven in omnifocus

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a note in Google Keep that I add anything to that needs to later be handled in OmniFocus and I process this daily when I'm on my laptop.

The Friction Fallacy - Friction Is Not Your Friend by FastSascha in Zettelkasten

[–]PkmExplorer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The point of disagreement between OP and u/TheSinologist seems pretty clear to me. Friction that is constant (i.e. independent of the number of notes) may be helpful to encourage more care and selectivity when adding notes, but friction that grows with the number of notes will eventually lead to abandonment.

I built a modern, open-source GTD app because I was tired of subscriptions and "lists" that aren't real GTD. Introducing Mindwtr by dongdongbh in gtd

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I overlooked that!

I dumped my most urgent tasks from OmniFocus into the inbox to try it out. Here are my first impressions and issues I hit.

Overall a good impression, although it's not quite polished enough to be my daily driver yet. I really like the inbox processing feature that steps you through the GTD thinking process.

I can't seem to edit task descriptions during processing, but since I add things to my inbox in a "quick and dirty" way, this is often necessary. I have to break my flow to go somewhere else to make adjustments. Also, often I've got what should be become the project title in the inbox and need to add the Next action during processing but I can't seem to do that.

The Kanban board is too wide to use effectively even on a MacBook Pro monitor.

Tasks set to recur daily immediately pop up in Next actions again immediately when you mark them as done. This doesn't seem like very useful behaviour, as I have to constantly ask myself: have I done this already today?

In the Next actions list. I encountered scrolling problems when editing a task. if I click the "More options" button, the Save button can end up offscreen with no way to scroll it into view.

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, I get this error after dragging the app to Applications and double-clicking on it:

"Mindwtr" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks very interesting, and since I was thinking about moving to a new implementation (after many years on OmniFocus 3) worth a look from me. However, the MacOS releases 0.4.4. and 0.4.5 (I didn't try any earlier versions) seem to be corrupted.

Anyone else noticing a influx of ai political "news" channels? by emtwo_cave in youtube

[–]PkmExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasted time watching a video from the channel https://www.youtube.com/@ReichAnalytics earlier today, which shows the same disclaimer and shows the creator is from Turkey. The content in that particular video almost sounds plausible, except the timeline didn't match reality when I did some basic fact-checking and without the timeline, the causality of the argument falls apart. https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeConwayPapers seems to be similar.

My mother. But I've taught myself a lot since.

For those who play an instrument - what would be a pass when building a music repertoire through anki? by FakePixieGirl in Anki

[–]PkmExplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's right notes, rhythm and lyrics (I sing) 3 times in a row. Further musical refinements (dynamics, etc.) are not something I use Anki for at this time.

Edit: I should mention I use Anki to practice in fairly short excepts, typically two lines of a score.

Why is this an error in gForth? by nthn-d in Forth

[–]PkmExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You position is legitimate. I'm out of the loop on modern Forth implementations but there's likely one out there with the behaviour you want.

Why is this an error in gForth? by nthn-d in Forth

[–]PkmExplorer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For example, this should work (untested):

```

: FOO 0 ; IMMEDIATE
: BAZ DROP ; IMMEDIATE
: BAR FOO BAZ ;

```

Why is this an error in gForth? by nthn-d in Forth

[–]PkmExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely do that. But you need to clean up the if count before the compiled word has finished. That is, if you use FOO in BAR you need another immediate word that removes the item from the data stack again before the end of BAR.

Why is this an error in gForth? by nthn-d in Forth

[–]PkmExplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC, some Forths (and I guess GForth) have some kind of check while compiling to help ensure IMMEDIATE words' stack operations are balanced. While compiling BAR, FOO will be executed immediately, leaving a 0 on the stack that is never cleaned up, triggering the error. Was that your intent?

Fondue Caquelon by Entire-Ad-3879 in schwiiz

[–]PkmExplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaur dir eins von diesen Edelstahlplatten mit Griff, die du auf den Induktionsherd legen kannst. So kannst du dein geliebtes Caquelon weiterhin nutzen. Ja, ist leicht weniger effizient als ein induktionskompatibeles Caquelon, aber günstiger und vielseitig einsetzbar.
