Join 📚 Josh Beckman's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
I owe a debt of gratitude to those whose knowledge helped me debug software, repair bicycles, choose camping gear, start a business, and deal with anything life throws at me.
I repay that debt by marking my own trails. When I think “it should not have been this hard to find out”, I make it easier to find out.

Yes, it would be great if everyone did fully reproducible science and made all their data available and *actually responded* when you asked them questions and got a pony. But in the current, *actual* world, *most* papers are missing important details. The problem of having to scan your eyeballs past a few extra digits is a silly non-issue compared to the problem of meaningless results everywhere. So please stop spending your energy actively trying to convince people to delete one of the very few error correction methods that we *actually have* and that *actually sort of works*.

Programmable notes are note-taking systems that allow you to write programmatic rules that facilitate particular ways of working with your notes.
Based on triggers (specific conditions are met, input from the user, time of day), they kick off a sequence of actions. Actions might be prompts for the user to answer, transformations on the notes themselves, or requests to external websites and data sources for information.
