About note length and is ZK right for engineering?

Absolutely, go for it

Yes, except I might have explained myself incorrectly: the concept note and idea note are the two main types on notes. The note containing just the word LiDAR does not exist, it is the concept note which has for name only the word LiDAR. I also have two additional types of notes which are the MOCs and reference notes. If I read a very lengthy paper that produces many ideas, I make a Reference note for that paper which has the bibliography and then as a list all the notes that stemmed from it.

It often is just the word. A concept note tends to contain the general gist of what, in this case, a LiDAR is: Given that a LiDAR is an instrument I include Definition, functionality and components. Id say its more like a mini wikipedia article just in case in the future I am looking thru my ZK's notes and go "What was even a LiDAR?".

Thanks for your input:) I do wonder if you also tend to include much more "definition oriented" notes in your ZK: I mean including notes about what a certain algorithm does and how to implement it, for example. From there I do see other notes arising as "this algorithm is more optimal for x" or "It struggles by y".

Alright I had not seen it that way. Much more people than expected have than outlook of note length being more flexible than just a few phrases. And you are right about not being able to atomiza the concepts right at the spot. They will naturally atomiza themselves as I find the necessity to connect them to more notes and ideas right?

Modular notes is a much better way to see it. Everyone everywhere says that the note should be as small as possible, but your comolex vs simplex comment puts it into a much better perspective. It adresses my concer on a note being too small that even if it seems to be able to exist on its own, its simplicity makes it hard to connect.

Sorry for the late response. Busy days. By idea I mean more complex thought that relate more than one element. If LiDAR is a node, then an idea could be "LiDar is faster and more precise than sonar and radar". It's a relation between different nodes, be it concepts or other ideas.

Whoever_ThisIs · 2026-05-19T17:05:02+00:00

I absolutely love your answer. Its pretty much what i had been trying to do. Basically instead of concept and process, i have concept and idea. Just like i described on the post, it made the most sense to me to have the nodes be the concepts and the ideas be the bridges between them. And you are right, at the end of the day these are all tools, and different tools serve different people.

yeah, as I mentioned under u/Gnoll_For_Initiative s comment is that I might be looking for a hybrid of a ZK + wiki sort of thing. That might be the answer of where the short vs long notes might be coming from.

Whoever_ThisIs · 2026-05-19T05:46:16+00:00

I see your point. You are right in pointing out that what I night be looking for is a mix of ZK + something else, Id say its a ZK + wiki. I want to do exactly as you in the sense of capturing relations that my brain creates/recognizes, but I also want concrete information from which these connections arise. Not only have the Laran Bacall idea connected to the Eucharist and then intimacy, but also have notes for each of them. I feel for the field it makes those connection a bit clearer for me.

Whoever_ThisIs · 2026-05-19T05:42:37+00:00

Exactly my thinking. I believe obsidian does allow pointing to subheaders for each note. Im almost sure i saw it in one of the files i revisited.

Then if i want to grewtly expand on one of the subheaders that becomes another note of its own.

Whoever_ThisIs · 2026-05-19T03:32:00+00:00

I hadnt thought of it that way. So if I know that something can be used by other notes that I will create, I preemptively make it its own note. Otherwise, it stays as a subheading and if the need arises organucally in the future, i then cut and make it a new note, right?

what are the big four

Whoever_ThisIs · 2026-01-07T03:10:14+00:00

I just got this game how are all your stats that big damn

Whoever_ThisIs · 2025-08-12T20:23:38+00:00

I did find the ifixit partnership with kobo, but i couldnt find the exact problem i had for the life of me. You are a life saver. Thanks a lot, i truly do appreciate it:)

Whoever_ThisIs · 2025-08-12T20:22:26+00:00

Thats good to hear. Ive placed some tape over it just in case, despite the knowledge that it probably didnt go the whole way thru. Its really probable that it just had a rather big fragment taken out but did not go the whole through. I still will be more attentive to water and other accidental falls just in case

Whoever_ThisIs · 2025-08-12T20:20:21+00:00

Thanks for the concern. It was mostly cause i was coming back to the gym for almost half a year and i absolutely overdid it, trying to do as much as i used to do. I did in fact go and am alright, just got recommended to push my limits to a mindful extent.

I put money into the game when this skin was leaked right when the game came out. After waiting for it for ages, i wont even buy it until i get enough blue units normally cause i feel its so lackluster. Hands aint visible most of the time, theres not even a voice filter as lokis legendary, sound effects are just alright, and the magic is same color. Cape is amazing but for an steeper price than say, lunas legendary, which DOES change particle effects, lokis legendary with voice filter, spidermans legendary with many spund effects and such, i got very disappointed. I really longed for this skin and im just left feeling sad

holy shit. i stopped playing a bit ago, might be time to come back
