It's energy inefficient like a school bus, not inefficient for the sake of it, but because it's a decent way to shuttle passengers of all experience levels through all weather.

Foam and Dendron Extensions for Vscode offer this functionality So you can publish your notes to github pages or any other static site hosting platform.

I relate. There is no universally valid way to measure understandability and any note can be subdivided so many different ways.

> Each note should contain a single idea and should be understandable when reading in isolation.

It's really a guiding principle. Unlike index cards in filing drawers, markdown with wikilinks allows for infinitely long notes and a low cost for context switching. you can choose whatever balance of note size/quantity you want.

In my markdown-based second brain built originally in Obsidian and now in Dendron, I have around 350 notes with what is probably a Poisson distribution of sizes. The important thing is that jumping from note to note costs very little.

further, if a note warrants splitting, now you can do it as fast as you can think it. The founder of Dendron aptly describes this as a part of the amoeba pattern: https://dendron.so/notes/e780000d-c784-4945-8e42-35218a3ecf1...

https://www.newsandguts.com/trump-if-you-dont-fight-like-hel... summarizes the basis for impeachment. If you only listen to FOX and Steve Bannon's warroom you will hear repeatedly that Trump only explicitly said to go and peacefully cheer on those who did not want the election to be stolen.

If you are a participant of hacker news I'd hope that you can perform a google search to find and validate this information rather than parrot the feigned ignorance of pundits.

Is this blatant enough to justify impeachment? I don't know. Apparently it is blatant enough to convince 10 republican congress people.

Re:Show HN: Using flamegraphs to read big HN threads on Monday January 11, 2021 @11:00AM (#25730669)
Beautiful work!!

I would use this every day as a browser extension for HN/reddit. the vertical minimap would probably be the ideal implementation.

Fly-to navigation for narrowing scope makes sense. IMO, a complete feature-set would still include something like ctrl-scroll for vertical expand and shift-scroll for horizontal expand.

Realistically, maybe, for minimap-on-focus: "a"+"scroll": zoom "s"+"scroll": expand-vertical "d"+"scroll": expand-horizontal

You'll want to look into gitjournal. It won't work well large vaults (no wikilinks)... but it works for a separate vault with the files I want on the go. That would be shopping lists and the ol' do-queue. Dendron, a vscode extension is also a great alternate/partner to Obsidian. They both have they're strengths and they play well together as they have converged on a future-proof spec of Markdown+wikilinks+LateX. Plus you can already Publish with it using 11ty! e.g: https://texdeck.com
