Obsidian has 2 main advantages to me.

First you can switch from WYSIWYG to text editor instantly.

Then you have an outline where you can manipulate your “markdown blocks” [i.e title and its content] by drag n drop. Or extract a “markdown block” as a new note, and leave a reference where it originally was extracted from.

And then [the killing feature], it displays the content of a link, web link or internal link, as a [kind of] iframe, if you prepend a ! to the link.


Motörhead and Nirvana are probably in the same situation.


At my company, diagrams are usually generated from data. But when they are not, they are immediately extracted from the diagram authoring database and become data again, that we query for discrete information [much more than scrolling inside wall-size diagrams]


In my company, we generate diagrams from data coming from external referencials that ARE source of truth, by process. Not the perfect solution, but much better than representations of a reality that has already moved miles ahead.

It caused all kinds of problems, though those tend to be more directly traceable to the "be liberal in what you accept" ethos than to the format per se.


What’s the price of that beast? #meCryingTearsOfBlood


Let's assume a Mac Studio M5 would start at $1999, and that a M5 Max upgrade 128 GB would be about the 1000 it is now. Then an M5 Ultra 768 would be something like $1999 + 1000 + $4000 - cheaper than the current top of the line (which will never happen) so I'd presume about the same $10,000.

Or they could finally make the Mac Pro respectable and have it two M5 Ultra Mac Studios stuck together (or give it NUMA RAM: on chip + expandable).


I was betting on the 1TB Mac Studio, but half a terabyte was already an insane amount of memory.


Apple clearly no longer cares about workstation market, Mac Pro has joined OS X Server.


Hasn’t in been that way for years? Almost all of the people I’ve seen selling used Mac Pros use them for creating music. I assume the studio is a better, cheaper option.


Workstations are more than just music, and there are still a few folks that still believe Apple will some day release a new Mac Pro that fits their hardware needs, without having to go either Windows or Linux.

Less than $10,000, depending on what CPU and storage you select.


Heh heh, I see you're new to Apple's incredible shamelessness in price-gouging memory.

Just kidding, I'm sure you're aware. I just wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them go well beyond that.


Apple will be the first company to pioneer a new "work for tokens" program; simply commit yourself to six months of servitude with The Company to pay off your new Mac Studio purchase.


What if you define a hard rule from this statistics that « you must fire anyone on error one »? Won’t your company be empty in a rather short timeframe? [or will be composed only of doingNothing people?]


Why would you do that? You’re sampling from a distribution, a single sample only carries a small amount of information, repeat samples compound though.


Watch how dict2xml or xml2dict handle JSON to XML automatic mapping. Both format carry 99% of the same structural infos in their respective serialization.


I still cannot tell which one I hate the most: CSV or JSON. These really are hacks that should never have gotten the attention of the world, for data exchange.


At my last job (about 7 years ago) someone treated a tab delimited file as a CSV file and managed to import it into a critical system. It kind of look like it worked but then people noticed that it was actually garbage and there was no obvious way of undoing the import...


Isn't there a script or a plugin to sync your vault to github, already? (may be even to sync several vaults, for example to share vaults between colleagues)


This tool should finally make it possible to setup a good web interface to my obsidian notes. I have a hacky setup using github as the backend storage system but its slow.

Ive been surprised at how few people are interested in an obsidian browser tool, but its great if I want to read / write notes from a corporate laptop for example.
