I think drawing your own flash cards/ illustrations while taking a course like Andrew Ng’s Coursera course is a good way to start.


Hi all, wanted to share illustrated notes I took on the Coursera Machine Learning course from Andrew Ng. This covers weeks 1-5.


Heres a vim shortcut for something like this: `alias did="vim +'normal Go' +'r!date' ~/did.txt"`

I originally had a simple vim shortcut that would open my did.txt file but switching computers made this less universal so I created a server to accept "dids".

This is v1, any suggestions or feedback are super welcome!

* Heres the original VIM shortcut that is still super useful https://theptrk.com/2018/07/11/did-txt-file/



Oh wow sorry about that. Thx for the heads up


And, still, asks me to log in.


ouch, i linked to the edit screen, and theres no way to delete submissions. this will be here forever haha.


So do you have to keep this server running or do you have a separate nodemon script that auto starts on start up?


There's no server here. This is just an executable written in node, which writes to a SQLite3 (flat-file) database.


Lol at secret uses of echo. How are you logging your command line entries?


I have a thing for “want to do someday” called Asana but it’s never ending. My killer feature for a todo list would be either Auto Delete or auto “tell me a reason why I shouldn’t delete this”


In a way the whole point of making todo lists is mindfulness -- to pay attention to a task when needed. The point of automation is exactly opposite -- you don't want to pay attention to something!

A todo list is more effective if you do regular reviews (daily/weekly/month/yearly). Similarly mindfulness at the time of deleting a someday task may provide useful feedback.


I wonder if you could script that with the API? Post a comment after a certain period of time and if you do not interact with it, delete the task.


You have a better memory than me. I would instantly forget whether or not I’ve added an entry for the day
