My father was 76 and started to forget things, basic things like what he did yesterday, who we met the week before (family from overseas who we haven’t seen in years)…
This is when I realised it was getting serious. But he’s a Norwegian born in the 40s, so talking about his mental health and opening up to him is near impossible.
I did call him out on these massive lapses in memory, but jokingly though.
However, without formally addressing anything, he started out of no where and never, ever before doing it my entire life: sudoku.
1-2 hours a day, then more, all the time.
He’s now in his mid 80s and as sharp as ever.
I know he went and saw a GP, and they prescribed sodoku.
But the effectiveness of it, taken seriously, is absolutely incredible.
I think you answered my question, although indirectly. I thought there was competing standards (if that's even the right word, I don't know) for note-taking.
YAML is more for configuration and meta-data, so my original question didn't make a lot of sense.
You've helped clear my confusions so for that, thanks so much!
As for Obsidian, I just wasn't super keen having a whole extra app just for my note-taking. I like simple Notepad++ (or Geany, now that I'm moved to nix), as it can work on any files, not just text/MD/note docs.
Has anyone checked out Fox News recently? There is zero, and I mean zero coverage of the implications of the tariffs. W.T.F. At what point do you go “okay, we’re actually on par with North Korea”?
I think since the Snowden revelations it’s pretty clear there is no holds barred in terms of intelligence overreach from practically every angle and state.
What’s happening now, with the tariffs, is really wild (but ultra dumb imho) territory…
Your version is nice too!
