It sure can! I'm creating my language to do AoC in this year! https://github.com/viro-lang/viro

They are not solving your problem. They are solving theirs.

This is an experimental project so there is nothing to be angry about. Time will tell if this was a good idea or not.

The key thing is not discipline. It's to make it yours. It's easy to make a software that would link your thoughts or weblinks together one way or another, but it's impossible to make it just like you would.

There is no software that would piece different ideas together to come up with a new one. That is called AI and we are not there yet.

What you want is get the results without doing any actual work yourself. This is not a problem that any software could fix.

Concur, to rephrase it, it's not the software that must make connections while you sleep, but rather you must make connections and then transfer them to software. From there you can do spaced repetition or whatever to map those connections to a mental model. There are two friction points here: realizing what connections are made and then externally documenting the connections.

Why do you need to document the connections externally? Isn't it enough to reference one node from another and provide some context?

This is not a tech problem. This applies to all the content on the internet.

I like your suggestion to motivate people to start thinking about what they are going to use and why.

When we have team refinements at work we learned to question everything. There are some senior developers that get most things right, but not every time. Sometimes some junior dev just throws an idea that turns out to be way better.

This is why I think the process of coming up with a solution is much more important than the solution itself.

With that being said - please remember that there is a fine line between valuable skepticism and just being annoying :)

Why do you need this information? What's the use case?

Vaguely -- being better at 'information processing'.

If you think about a typical person's browser bookmarks -- it's a mess with no hope of ever catching up, prioritizing and sorting. My project could help with that :)

When I read your description I immediately thought of the Minto Pyramid principle. Your tool is like a technical way of solving the same problem :)

I've never heard of it but I looked it up for the last minutes and indeed, Layered Ink would be one of the ways to respect the pyramid principle! Thanks for pointing it out. Where have you heard about it?

This post is exactly the essence of why I don't like politics.

It's super easy to retrospectively say "they should've done something else". You might think that even you would do the right choice, but you are wrong.

Such decision is hard for any authority. You may vote for any person in the whole world and the result would probably be similar. Lockdown delivered too early could send whole country into chaos.

Also China managed this so well that it actually could work counterproductive for other countries.

What I'm trying to say is: Don't judge others. You have little idea of the situation they are in, and saying retrospectively "you should've known better" is just childish. Just learn from their mistakes.

With your attitude, you can choose any party and will always be unhappy about the choice.

> saying retrospectively "you should've known better" is just childish

European governments were not the first to have to deal with the epidemic (China), nor among the first few (Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore etc.). They were fully aware of what happened in Wuhan without early action. They literally just had to follow what Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea etc were all doing. Those countries had less information and less time to act, and yet they're riding this much better than much of Europe.

So why _shouldn't_ European governments have known better?

As I said in my original post: China managed this so well that it could make others think that it was not that big of a deal.

Wasn't until it got Italy hard that most people opened their eyes.

But the point I was trying to make was that saying that somebody should've done something differently is not helping anybody. That's just complaining and nobody needs that.

Accountability is important.

Also - doing nothing until it is too late - not even educating - is not even a choice. It's not a strategy. Its dereliction of duty.

So if the govt waited until there were 30 million cases in the country in a four month period, that would be irresponsible? If it put 300k people in the hospital, that would be an unthinkable national disaster? What if it killed 20k people in just four months in just one country?

Those are the conservative figures for influenza in the USA since 2019 November.

Where was your outrage last year and the year before. Couldn't we have prevented this influenza tragedy from happening all over again. Is this also dereliction of duty?

> Don't judge others.

It is by observing others and judging their decisions and actions that we can learn and avoid other people's mistakes.

Is it not?

Judgement is pointing fingers.

What you are asking about is just drawing conclusions. I wouldn't mix those up.
