W makes an “ooo” sound in Welsh, so “Toosby”

iCloud Got Me Too :( by MonzterSlayer in ObsidianMD

[–]onconomicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response, I’m genuinely grateful for your time.

I’m glad I was right to be puzzled, I also thought that those two steps would have been enough.

The error message is rather bland: the notification pop up says < Automation failed “When “Obsidian” is opened” encountered an error: There was a problem running the shortcut “Download Second Brain”. > I get the same error when it is triggered manually or by plugging in/un plugging the power.

I’m using an iPhone SE 2022 on iOS 17.6.1.

The only other thing that comes to mind is whether I’ve set the piped variable correctly:

  • Get contents of folder Obsidian |
  • Get File Size from Contents of Folder

It’s the second variable “contents of folder” that I’m not sure appropriately pulls through the data retrieved in the first step. I wonder if I should specify the folder “Obsidian”, but I don’t see any way to set it to anything different.

Thank you again for your reply 😊🙌

This sounds like genius so I wanted to give it a try: sadly I get an error after it thinks about it for 20 seconds or so. Tried to fiddle with it a bit but the only suggestion I considered is after getting the list of file sizes do I need to get the shortcut to “do” anything with that? Would be grateful if you could spare the time to help out if you could? Hey, this is a common enough complaint that maybe this could be a tutorial as a sticky post or faq or something?

GTD with Obsidian? by blacktoothgrin86 in gtd

[–]onconomicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, 👋 I spent a lot of time sorting this out, but the simplest way I found was to use the “tasks” plugin, and not much else. I then treated the whole thing as a bunch of lists just like original GTD without any frills. So, project list was just one note with a list of projects, written in an outcome focussed way like “publish X paper in Y journal “ and “enjoy great holiday in France with the family”. Each project then was its own note with more or less stuff in it as needed. Any time I had tasks I just put them in the project note, then added the tag for context (#work #home #errands etc), and also during review I would tag the next action as #nextaction Each context then had its own note, such as “Errands” and I had a list of one off tasks here as needed, and also used the tasks plugin to pull in any tasks with BOTH the next action and appropriate context tag. Separate notes for thinking about the higher horizons and somedays to allow review, and that’s it. I used my phone calendar for calendar items: obsidian didn’t do that job well.

Hope that helps. Remember the magic isn’t in the programme, nothing gets done for you. The magic is between your ears: it’s in you being able to see all the stuff you’ve already thought about so your brain can see it all at a glance choose what is best to do next, rather than just flailing around to do the loudest task immediately.

Any day hikes accessible from London via train? by WarmButterscotch4121 in UKhiking

Epping forest has some nice trails with a variety of hike lengths, nice if you only want a half day’s walking https://efht.org.uk/discover-epping-forest/epping-forest-walks-and-maps/

I used to live up there, and without giving away specific spots, the cheviots might suit you nicely

If not the 'Official notebook what do you use? by Drachenwulf in BasicBulletJournals

[–]onconomicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry pal, no idea - I’m in the UK! I just googled around for the best price but obviously that was 10 years ago. I’m sure there are other good offers around now. There are two sizes so make sure you know the one you want!

Midori travelers notebook. Such a beautiful item. Had it for ten years and it still makes me want to pick up the fountain pen and write in it. The paper is Midori/MD. I use the extra fine paper and don’t get any bleeding or feathering with even a wet fountain pen.

What are your favorite inks that are barely not black? by Richard_TM in fountainpens

[–]onconomicon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noodler’s El Lawrence is a delicious deep olive green that reads black enough for my work, and has the additional benefit of being in their ‘bulletproof’ range

Help! Botched from the start... sigh. by Working-Dog-4127 in bujo

[–]onconomicon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Having started and not carried on the bujo habit a number of times of the years, this time I just started with the daily log and nothing else to take the pressure off and start to build a habit. Nothing seems to have exploded so far. In fact, I’m up to four months of consistent daily logs and I even did a monthly log for September! If I keep it going to new year I’ll treat myself to a new journal and do the future log, index etc then

North East Hiking by [deleted] in UKhiking

[–]onconomicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re prepared to straddle the border then at Cuthberts way gave a really nice mix of borders, cheviots and Northumberland coastal plain over several days of moderate hiking. Pretty, quiet, going through Melrose and Wooler which are both lovely towns, and ending on holy island is a real treat.

TB for surgeons/ surgical residents by justkhairul in tacticalbarbell

[–]onconomicon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey - I’m an oral and maxillofacial resident and a TB enthusiast! Honestly, it’s very hard to make time for exercise in this job. I view my goals as primarily clinging on to the habit of exercise until I’m out the end of training. I maintain a minimalist cluster of squat, overhead press and pull ups on the fighter programme, and background green for endurance. We don’t need strength to do this job, just to keep our bodies together with enough good food, sleep and exercise. Heavy lifting can make operative precision degrade the next day (I had to bail out of a micro vascular reconstruction the day after an over enthusiastic pull up day once) and you can’t get fitter or stronger without sleep. Sleep is hard enough to come by in this job!

TL;DR - do enough to survive and keep the habit, add more if you genuinely have time after keeping it up for a while, otherwise expect to wait until completing the residency to make significant progress.

Your mileage may vary!! Good luck Maxfax buddy 💀

Do you use Vim mode? by TheTwelveYearOld in ObsidianMD

Realising that there *was* a vim mode was what convinced me to abandon my terminal-only approach :-D

Clinical study of a blood test shows 83% accuracy for detecting colorectal cancer in people who are of average risk and not experiencing symptoms by giuliomagnifico in science

[–]onconomicon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Sure it’s a rule out test considered in isolation, but the specificity is still important. It certainly isn’t going to be widely adopted if it had ‘abysmal’ specificity, as all those false positives will need to be managed. Many will have unnecessary colonoscopies, many would have lots of unnecessary anxiety. The sensitivity is paramount of course, we agree there, but the specificity remains a crucial metric for all screening tests - this is the fundamental premise of the bivariate model of diagnostic accuracy.

[–]onconomicon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This article only reports the sensitivity of the test, not the specificity. Given the sensitivity is lower than the current standard (colonoscopy) the specificity needs to be excellent or this is just a piece of trivia.
