That was an interesting read. Even more if you take a look into another of the author's text on the decline of personal thought [1]. I believe the author is engaging with very inte…

This brings back memories. We used this in my mechanical engineering mechanisms class. It was cool to have the (simplified!) symbolic formulas describing the movements we were desi…

I'm keeping a detailed log of my activities in orgmode. But only because I have to input the hours in another system. It is interesting that even though the categories summarized a…

Instead of relying on things like "Playlist made for you" I still like leveraging the algorithm to discover "new vectors" by actively going to a song that some aspect caught my att…

On my master's thesis, I ended up using a line that I wrote when preparing the template at the beginning of my 'journey': "I thank everyone who contributed to making this work poss…

Tangent since it is not exclusive to image processing, but When I was studying Fourier Transforms at university I recall that the book "Fourier Series" by Gerogi P. Tolstov helped …

Jago: A life underwater [1]. It's been a while so I'll refer to the synopsis [2]: "JAGO: A LIFE UNDERWATER is the story of Rohani - an 80-year-old hunter who hobbles around on land…

I think the Makani documentary does a good job explaining the problem in less than 2 min [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/qd_hEja6bzE?t=392 Regarding the size x quantity, I believe the re…

Your comment regarding the archers reminded me of "The Grail Quest" book series by Bernard Cornwell

Some of my personal favourites in Brazil: Hilda Hilst and Manoel de Barros, mostly for poetry. In Portugal: Valter Hugo Mãe (vhm). He got a lot of exposure in Brazil recently. His …

I have started using emacs in 2016 because of org-mode. It was powerful enough to make me use emacs on a daily basis since them. However, I have been using RStudio/Sublime as IDE/e…

I've tried Mendeley, Zotero and Jabref and stuck with Jabref for my masters thesis. Couldn't recommend it enough, even though haven't given Zotero a serious try. Synced bibtex and …

I came in just to give a shout out to Docear as well. There is an extensive blog post comparing Docear, Zotero and Mendeley made by Joeran Beel (Docear's team)[0]. I can't recommen…
