Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt. – Richard Feynman
- Went to the beach at just after 11:00. Brilliant weather which for Betty’s is quite special, so the place was absolutely packed.
- Finally created
org-capture-templateto do the Daily Head Voices post setup more easily and more consistently, see below for the relevant element. - Thought a bit about writing and then self-hosting the tool that scans the cpbotha.net RSS feed and then performs actions, e.g. sending to Telegram, when new posts appear
- Initial thought was Go, because small and self-contained (like my discord scihub bot and my eureka-alert RSS feed generator), but Python means much higher development velocity. Because it’s a script that will run every few minutes and then stop, RAM is less of an issue, and the official docker images https://hub.docker.com/_/python/ mean I don’t yet have to upgrade the ancient Ubuntu 18.04 on my VPS.
- Next thought was rather to spend this time writing. Zapier free tier is working fine for now, will get back to self-hosting it later.
org-roam-node-findcallsorg-roam-node-readcallsorg-roam-node-read--completionscallsorg-roam-node-list, which always reads the full list of nodes from the sqlite database. Whyyyyy? When I do a semantic search usingorg-roam-similarity, I already have the small list of IDs. I only want to offer the user this small list, I don’t want to read the full list every time, and then remove everything except the list I already have – so much wasted effort. I’m really hoping d12frosted’s vulpea has something better…
