I used Notational Velocity for years. I loved its free form approach to note taking and searching, but I needed a cross platform solution with files that could be shared using Dropbox.
I now just use three text files open in Sublime Text: todo-today.txt, todo-this-week.txt, and todo-later.txt. I review them daily and promote todos to the next file when appropriate.
I was visualizing Scala method definitions and associated the language's type inference with keyword use, thus bringing C++'s "auto" keyword to mind when the long-since deprecated "register" keyword was the correct subject.
It would appear LLM's are not the only entities which can "hallucinate" a response. :-D
But yes, capitalized "Internet" refers to the "Connected Internet," of which there is only one. The first rule of SIPRnet is no one talks about SIPRnet. But if we did talk about it, the comment would likely be that it is like "the Internet" but not "the Internet."
If you spend time in academia or academia-adjacent industrial research, you sometimes hear "an internet" (always with lower case to signal it's a common noun) to describe a network of networks. But you are right... that use is not growing and if anything shrinking.
Maybe some aliens out there have their own internet. But then is the internet just the sum of all intranets and thus in a way just the top-level intranet?
There are expensive apps and devices to create notched music or white noise. Fortunately, there are also free YouTube videos with noise notched for different frequencies. Identify your tinnitus frequency using one of the web-based tone generator tests, then find and bookmark the video notched for your frequency.
I like “tinnitusreliever610”. TBH, I haven’t found the notched noise to be any more relief than full spectrum white or pink noise.
Maybe Figma needs a prototyping mode that actually looks like rough whiteboard drawings or index cards. Later you can refine the designs, retaining history linking back to early prototypes.
Using rough drawings is useful for user research. Users are less likely to criticize or suggest big changes if you present a polished design, even if it is just a mock up.
