Reacting To Autism Memes | Feeling Personally Attacked

Reacting To Autism Memes | Feeling Personally Attacked

So this video is a bit of a departure from my regular type of educational content. I wanted to try something a little more light hearted and fun that also didn't take a lot of research to put together, and didn't impact my executive dysfunction heavily.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the video in the comments, if this is something you enjoyed i'd love to make more of them. All memes were supplied by members of my discord server so if you liked this video and got some funny memes to contribute let me know and i'll made a dedicated discord channel for meme submissions :)

🧠️ Personal Knowledge Management Discussion | With Omar Khafagy

This was a delightful conversation with one of my Discord moderators; Omar Khafagy. We talked a lot about Obsidian, My approaches and methodology towards PKM, and neurodivergence. Might want to start a podcast in the future with this lovely human :)

• 0:00:29 Welcome
• 0:02:06 The WHY behind the way my Obsidian system is setup to optimize for search
• 0:08:06 Influence of the CLI on my approach, system rigidity and flexibilty, automation
• 0:15:18 Was it hard to step back into my vault slash system after a long hiatus
• 0:20:53 Why did i move my DevLog back to Obsidian and why do i always return to Obsidian
• 0:26:56 To you, is the benefit of the vault more about retrieval or the act of tending to the digital garden itself
• 0:29:54 When information is no longer correct, relevant, or agreed with in your own vault
• 0:38:50 My approach when diving into a large body of work, top down or bottom up
• 0:46:28 How my approach and thought process resembles an analog approach
• 0:49:37 The separation of the UI, the model, and the backend of a PKM system
• 0:55:49 The history of how i got all the way to this point in life with tech, PKM, and everything
• 1:07:44 Do i struggle to work in ways that are not systematic
• 1:14:03 What can people who do not think the way that i do, take away from my approach and thoughts

Obsidian Media Extended: The Best Way To Take Notes On Videos 🎥️

Media Extended is the best approach to note taking on video files that ive seen yet. It makes it super easy to get what ive always wanted from video notes:

• Timestamps that jump to that point in the video
• Timestamps without effort
• Easy markdown notes generated live while watching a video

I started with YiNote early in 2020 and moved to the browser extension memex when that offered a better experience and now finally this extension already in the Obsidian eco system adds so much value with such simple functionality.

There are 3~ main points of criticism i have about the plugin that could be worked on, but by and large its an essential at this point.

Main critique:

• The cursor end point after timestamp insertion being on the left v.s. the right
• The cursor focus after opening the plugin's modal
• The cursor focus after using the plugin's modal
• The ability to just hit enter and have the modal open the media after pasting is missing

Check out the plugin and let me know what you think!

🌱️ Dendron: A Unique Approach To Knowledge Management 🌱️

Dendron is one of my favorite ways to taking notes on technical content now.

It takes advantage of a lot of the great work that has already gone into the VSCode IDE but also the existing extension eco-system.

Where dendron can't do something, there is likely an awesome extension that can.

This is now my go-to way of taking notes of structured and factual content unlike my Zettelkasten that is more of my personal take, ideas, and conjecture on topics.

Dendron makes the organization of notes via the schemas and dot hierarchies an absolute dream and the ease of refactoring a hierarchy makes the management of a lot of this information infinitely easier. I have hundreds of notes now and its just an absolute pleasure to work with Dendron with that content.

Introduction To SQL & Databases

SQL is an awesome language and has been around for decades. It is the defacto language for dealing with and manipulating data in Relational Databases.

I use SQL in my day job every day and it is a fantastic tool in your toolbox. It is not only very easy to learn the basics to start getting data and working with it, but certain variations of SQL are just a pleasure to work with.

My least favorite type of SQL is PL-SQL in Oracle databases, and my favorite is T-SQL in SQL Server.

This video takes you through the basics of T-SQL and begins to enter the more intermediary topics of triggers, stored procedures, user defined functions etc.

IF you're looking to get a start in SQL and databases this is a great starting place for you.
