Tricks for Note-Taking:

For students: Read chapters BEFORE your class and write them down. While in the class, all you have to do is listening and recheck your notes you done before. Pre-reading is way more important than note-taking. This suggestion is straight from my grade A friend to me when I notice he didn't do any note-taking in the class, but his notes is my life-saver.

For non-students: Just use Cogi https://cogi.com/

Get what's the most important things on-site and focus, not your note-taking. I remember some big companies against note-taking when meeting. I once hear my boss said "...Some people can't remember things, so they have to do the notes. The funny thing is, their notes just a page long..."




I use cVim to save some chrome's memory.



Thanks, but I prefer this https://www.windyty.com/


Credit where credit is due: Nullschool is a lot older than WindyTy, and WindyTy is a fork of Cameron (Nullschool)'s code.


The interface on windyty.com is better. It does not have the problem of filling up your browser's history with every move you make. I would like to be able to see the color scale key with out also having to open the full control panel.


Every new view should get a URL. That makes every view linkable. People who do not do this are actually violating the spirit of the HTML/URL specs. The fact that you see your browser history as polluted is an implementation detail that could be rectified by simply collapsing all consecutive URL's from the same domain over N url's into a hierarchical dropdown.


It can also be (sort of) rectified through judicious use of history.pushState vs. replaceState. The latter just replaces the URL in your URL bar but doesn't add an entry to your history - so every new view can get a new URL without polluting history.

I say "sort of" because everyone has their own idea about which things should be pushed vs. replaced. One person's "history pollution" is another's useful tool. But in this case it seems pretty clear that simply moving the map shouldn't push to history.


Windyty got API also: http://api.windyty.com/


Do/will they charge for that? I have a few ideas for that.


Thanks for sharing this. This is so cool for kitesurfing and sailing. I didn't know any of these services and windyty looks really nice. Specially I like that you can zoom-in much more than in OP's globe....



That link went straight to malware for me on Android; downvoted.


Yes, it has a bunch of ad scripts that cover the page with an invisible flash element. Clicking it generates popups and popunders. Pity you're being downvoted.


Ah, yes, it actually triggers when I scroll.


Not for me, also on Android.

(Btw I did not downvote you. Your downvoting a malware link seems a legit enough reason, since flagging will be judged by someone who might not see the malware warning and might take your flagging rights away or something else invisible to you because you're doing "invalid" flagging.)


I see the font without any ad. Using Chrome + uBlock Origin.



It's wonderful to see the improvement on SourceCode Pro font. Can I have a request? Is there any possible to include font awesome (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome) because of this under terminal? (https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git). Currently my setup on both OSX and Linux is using SourceCode Pro with Powerline Plus Awesome font from here (https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/...). Honestly my setting is too complicated I think.


I'm thinking if someone can program a chrome extension for websites/system/network monitoring dashboard by opening a new tab will be wonderful.
