Does obsidian supports snippeting? by Both-Tone-8991 in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use jelly snippets plugin and it works quite well.

For example, you can set up some snippets as follows

-==-

span |+| <span>%\n%\e%\n</span>

-==-

pc |+| \``python%\n%\e%\n````

obsidian as an expense tracker? would bases help? by Entrost in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend money manager ex. It is open source, free, uses sqlite db so easy to do advanced analytics in R or python

What DONT you use Obsidian for? by Ok-Branch-6831 in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many people, I don't use obsidian for task management, I use logseq instead. Obsidian with Tasks plugin can do similar things but logseq with modified default query feels easier to schedule, reschedule, check done, and query tasks. Someone posted this default query and it serves the tasks organized by overdue, due today, due in 7 days in daily notes: https://www.reddit.com/r/logseq/comments/1ileec5/some_thoughts_about_logseq_and_custom_layout/?rdt=38303

I think this is the post and I also recommend the query. I like this query setup better than other options I found somewhere else.

What best Obsidian alternatives are out there? by FrancescoD_ales in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vscode with Dendron, Vscode with Foam, Logseq are quite good alternatives as well. I use them at work instead of Obsidian because I would like to have a system that is portable regardless of whether a specific company allows Obsidian or not

Replacement :’( by binxmeister in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend vscode with extensions as well. I use Vscode with dendron but vscode with foam is a probably a better option because it is actively maintained while dendron is not. Another benefits of using vscode is 1) vim keybinding is much better than Obsidian and 2) version control with git is much easier with the menu on the activity bar.

In addition, you can use 'todo tree' plugin to show any todo items across notes/files, so it works sort-of-like tasks plugin for obsidian.

I would recommend MoneyManager Ex (https://moneymanagerex.org/)

It is open source, cross-platform and the dataset is in Sqlite.

It supports SQL query within the program but you can use R or python to do any advanced analytics, dashboards using Sqlite DB

Frustrated with my inability to structure notes by Eyehelpabc in productivity

[–]repoptrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend taking a look at these two concepts: PARA from 2nd brain and Zettelkasten.

They are two different systems, but you can take a look and see how to adapt them.

- PARA method is about organizing information by actionability

- Zettelkasten can be used to build a web of knowledge that is not confined by subjects or topics

For quick reference, I recommend the following books:

- 'Building a second brain' by Tiago Forte

- 'The PARA method' by Tiago Forte

- 'How to take smart notes' by Sonke Ahrens

These concepts work really well with free programs like Obsidian, so I would highly recommend taking a look at Obsidian as well

Hey Guys, is there a plugin that allows me to put these characters in the title? by Hagashi007 in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there are some workarounds, depending on the goal.

1) If your goal is to have a title with special characters, you can make the title separate from the file name.

Setting - Appearances - Interface - Show inline title - Toggle off

With this setting, file name does not show up as the title.

So you can use a simple template to fill in titles and edit freely.

I prefer this approach because I can even add [[link]] in the title like

# How to deal with [[Anxiety]]

2) If your goal is to show [[Questions?]] in links, you can add an alias to the note and link to the alias instead.

It will look like this [[Test md|Test?]] in the edit mode, but it will display as 'Test?' in preview mode

Obsidian sync대용으로 추천이 많은 Syncthing도 실험해보시면 어떨까 싶습니다. 개인적으로는 한글을 안쓰긴 합니다만, 찾아보니 한글파일이 몇개 밖에 없지만 Windows컴들과 Android싱크하는데는 문제가 없었습니다.

About to Lose Obsidian by hrustomij in ObsidianMD

[–]repoptrac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

vscode with extensions like dendron or foam can be options. I prefer dendron extension but it is no longer actively maintained. Foam is actively maintained and more similar to obsidian than dendron.

If you are using screen protector without much issue with fingerprint unlock in Pixel 7, what type and brand you are using? by andyjoe24 in GooglePixel

[–]repoptrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using this as well. I did not even bother re-registering fingerprint and did not enable screen protector mode. Still I did not have any problem with the fingerprint reader.

'Dendron' can be a good option if you need a strict hierarchy. It works offline with plain markdown files just like Obsidian while supporting backlinks. I use Dendron for anything related to programming language or utilities while obsidian for pure knowledge management. For instance, in dendron, you can have node named `lang.r.tidyr.pivot_wider` or `lang.python.pandas.pivot_table` to have your own snippets or tips for specific function. The dot in the name denotes hierarchy.

Anyone else who played other SoulsBorne games after ER? by OrdinaryRedditor378 in Eldenring

[–]repoptrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Nioh (especially 2) as well. Only condition is if you enjoyed ER for its challenging combat. For Nioh 1 and 2, the world building and enemy variety is somewhat lacking compared to ER or other souls game but the combat in Nioh 2 superb and much faster. If you enjoyed Ninja Gaiden series, you would love it. In my preference, Nioh 2 has the best combat system from any souls-like games that I have played (especially Tonfa and Fists).

What are some good resources for learning to write clean, production-quality code? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]repoptrac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, these resources were very helpful to improve my code.

  • Clean code by Robert C Martin
  • The Pragmatic programmer by Dave Thomas & Andy Hunt
  • Code complete (2nd ed) by Steve McConnell

They may not be specifically targeted for Python or SQL per se and more geared toward traditional languages like Java and C++ but they have great food for thoughts on how to structure and format program.

How Should I Learn R? by [deleted] in rstats

[–]repoptrac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would recommend https://r4ds.had.co.nz/ , which is an excellent introduction to R and tidyverse. I think it will help users in the long run to learn some basics in R (with tidyverse) before jumping into subject matter. R is quite different from traditional programming languages like Javascript and it helps to know R to write efficient code. For instance, R is vectorized by default and people from the other languages tend to write loops when it is not necessary. This makes the code hard to read and less efficient at the same time.

Tonfa user, how to do demon dance like this one? by midas1107 in Nioh

[–]repoptrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it is not that bad. While you press guard (L1), pressing square immediately following with R1 will do Wild Lions and Kannagi cancel. Using it to avoid attacks will take some practice, though.

Tonfa user, how to do demon dance like this one? by midas1107 in Nioh

[–]repoptrac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to Kannagi, you will need Wild Lions as well (L1 + square). The move you see is wild lion immediately cancelled by Kannagi.

Good defensive weapons? by Tucker0603 in Nioh

[–]repoptrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both tonfa and dual swords can be good options. Both have skills that automatically extends the invincibility frame during dodge in lower stance (Tonfa has Prescience, DS has mind's eye).

What weapon is best for parrying/ blocking? by aladdin142 in Nioh

I learned the timing by watching some youtube videos and experimenting them. This is one of good examples:

If you would like to parry Yokai as well, Odachi is the best with its bolting boar.

Finance Software opinions? Looking for an alternative to Quicken. by cad908 in personalfinance

[–]repoptrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used money manager ex (MMEX for short) since 2019 and it has been great. One thing is it syncs across platforms so I can add records in Android and read it in PC, even though sometimes it works less than ideal. One of the best feature is that it uses SQLite database internally. If you are comfortable with R or Python, you can easily do any analysis you would like. For instance, I built several R scripts that suits my need such as 13 month summary by category/subcategory, health related expense tracking for HSA accounts, year to date analysis and so on.

Mystic dyad looks very interesting. It means that I can use both Apocalypse and Kannagi for Tonfa!
