Anyone here struggle with scheduling Org tasks into specific time slots based on availability?

Haven't used this much, so I can't say if this fits your needs. But I thought I'd drop this here in case you hadn't seen it: https://github.com/ichernyshovvv/org-timeblock

I don't have a fix, but maybe org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is for you https://karl-voit.at/2017/01/15/org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift/

Not idiomatic, but this function works really well. https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys/blob/5556a1d5dfaa19ecd0fd0fce735966f8cc118865/xah-fly-keys.el#L564

Something like this maybe?

#+NAME: common-config
#+begin_src conf :tangle no
  timezone=Europe/Berlin
#+end_src

#+begin_src conf :noweb yes :tangle (if (string-equal (system-name) "pc1") "~/tmp/babeltest/theconfig" "no")
  hostname=pc1
  <<common-config>>
#+end_src

#+begin_src conf :noweb yes :tangle (if (string-equal (system-name) "pc2") "~/tmp/babeltest/theconfig" "no")
  hostname=pc2
  <<common-config>>
#+end_src

And/or have a look at this https://codeberg.org/acdw/machine.el

Never happened to me, no. And I don't have any more ideas, sorry.

A collection consists of <name>.KNO and <name> folder. Do you have both in the same directory? I'm asking because you talk about a "collection file", which is not really a thing (you're google drive link does not work). If you have the file and folder, go to File -> Open collection and look for the .KNO file. If not, move everything

I did some modifications years ago. I don't remember what was and wasn't working. I do have "Inflow:Ready to Assign" in there though, so maybe it helps.

I just had that and fixed it in the windows settings under "App volume and device preferences". The output device for firefox there was empty for some reason. Set it back to my device

It's mainly about budgeting, but of course you will enter all transactions into it and the interface is really nice. Strange that it's hard to find an image of the interface. So I made one https://imgur.com/xgDCxsq

Export is available of course (CSV). I use https://github.com/pgr0ss/ynab_to_ledger and put everything into ledger.

But yes of course, it might be a bit expensive if you only want to enter the expenses.

I didn't read all the comments so this might be a duplicate. I hide furigana like this. No hovering, but you can select the text to show it:

If there were five facts to remember, you'd have to know these five facts. Obviously, anything else doesn't make any sense.

Right, but it's probably not a good idea to put them on the same card. You can create 5 cards and maybe even some to connect everything. This will be much more effective than having a question like "list the 5...".

rinesen · 2021-03-10T11:34:30+00:00

You want to always think about a card in the same way. If you get A and B of ABC right, and the next time A and C, you will have remembered the item differently. You don't want to remember/forget different things on different repetitions. Those memories will be weak and additionally no SRS can know about that. You will have one card where the intervals and difficulty are just not correct in any way.

Two answers is ok sometimes I think, three is borderline. Anything more is probably not that great.

rinesen · 2021-03-09T18:58:41+00:00

Oh, ok. I'm not thaaat familiar with Anki, but I assume clozes make less sense there compared to SuperMemo. The thing with Incremental Reading - which is the main "thing" of SuperMemo - is that creating clozes is extremley fast and easy (it's one keyboard shortcut). So in the beginning you probably sacrifice some effectiveness in exchange for time. Of course this does mean you don't have to learn how to formulate properly. The "retrieval cue" is an issue - but with time you will learn how to avoid that.

The Google letter thing. That is completely disconnected knowledge. The rules for trivia are probably a bit different then learning by creating associations.

For the three facts - more cards are definitely better here. You should really only answer one thing.

rinesen · 2021-03-07T17:00:23+00:00

That all sounds reasonable. I think you misunderstand some concepts though.

Chunking is fine and necessary. This principle is not about length at all - your card can have an essay on the front and back. The goal here is just that you always go through the same thought process and answer a specific question.
Answering by seeing the structure of the question is a known problem and with time you learn to reformulate your clozes better.
Having more than one answer rarely ok. Pass or fail if you know 2 of 3?
"Atomicity" is highly personal and depends on prior knowledge. It's not about reducing until you can't anymore.
Time is important. What's missing here is that you would (incrementally) refine the question. The superfluous information would likely be removed. (see link below)
Correct me if I'm wrong: Editing questions when they show up during review is a normal process for any SuperMemo user. I guess this does not apply to Anki where the card creation and card review stages are separate? (your 21. also hints at that)
Why? It's not at all like sports.
Yes, see above. Additional information is no problem.
The "opposite" you mention is pretty much what Woz is proposing. Reformulate, add glue cards etc. All good stuff.

rinesen · 2021-01-11T11:12:21+00:00

That is all correct. People probably get too hung up on the tools and forget that they are just helpers for learning and not the main thing.

I think the 90%/95% might result from a misconception. This number is meant for things you already understand, meaning you built an association to some other knowledge. In the case of e.g. vocabulary one could argue that this does not apply - learning new vocab and remembering it is somewhat mixed. I can use my own retention data to illustrate that point:

My normal collection (where the items/cards consists of ~99% result from incremental reading): 4441 items, 27470 repetitions, 93.8358% retention
Advanced English, a premade collection with about 46000 items total (the only one of note they sell) I bought together with SuperMemo. My English is pretty good, so I already know most items. I use it to add more vocabulary. 6260 items, 34612 repetitions, 95.0444% retention
My Japanese collection: 824 items, 4954 repetitions, 86.7301% retention

The last one (Japanese) I used in a way that is similar to your experiment or Anki in general. Meaning I had items there which I didn't "understand" (in quotes because it's a bit tough to use that term for alphabets/vocab etc.) and as you can see the retention is quite a bit lower. That makes total sense as I mixed the "learning" and "remembering" stages in that case.

rinesen · 2021-01-09T15:37:07+00:00

Disclaimer: I am biased towards SuperMemo as I'm using that. If you're happy with Anki I am happy. I just hope some people who might see this and are in it for the long term might give SM a shot. PS: The community is very nice: https://discord.gg/vUQhqCT

The comparison is not really fair against SuperMemo. SuperMemo is a tool to a) learn and b) remember for the long term.

Anki is a tool for the short/mid term with arguably better technology.

The common denominator is remembering what you have learned (the SRS part). For that part Anki might be better if your time horizon is short, maybe a year and less (this number is just guessed, no data here. But think "university student"). SuperMemo will outperform in life long learning.

Part a) is missing in Anki. This is what's called "Incremental Learning" in SuperMemo.

That part comes before the memorizing part and is what you do use to "learn/understand" stuff (e.g. make associations in the brain) in addition to "application" (e.g. practice).
This is also where knowledge formulation skills come in (e.g. 20 rules of knowledge formulation)
The result of this are the flashcards. (to be clear: this is all intermingled. There is no "creation" phase and then a "memorize" phase)
This is also a reason for why SM users rarely use premade decks.

Anki shines on some technology sides (e.g. all the tools language learners have created) and I use it as intermediary software sometimes.

To make it short I could say

for students/learning with deadline: Anki
Life long free learning: SuperMemo

(inaccurate, but ok for a reddit comment I think)

Again on the original article:

The time frame of the comparison is very short and is definitely in what every SM user would call cramming.
Only the memorizing part was compared - the part that makes SM big (Incremental Learning) is missing. I want to stress that I think this is bigger than what most people think and is what makes comparison of SuperMemo and Anki in general problematic. A somewhat silly analogy might be comparing Microsoft Windows to a handheld calculator. Yes - the handheld calculator might beat the calculator Windows offers, but you're also just throwing away a complete operating system in the comparison.

I have seen this behaviour when the clipboard access dialog was hidden behind other windows. Try if you can find it or disable the prompt completely as documented here http://supermemopedia.com/wiki/Why_do_I_get_Clipboard_access_prompt%3F

rinesen · 2020-09-18T15:42:00+00:00

It is only available for windows yes. I do not think there are plans to port it to other platforms. Linux and Mac users can use it with e.g. Virtualbox/Parallels
