Just stumbled upon a website that wouldn't take same first name and last name! Quite ridiculous and reminded me of https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-falsehood — a list of #falsehoods #programmers believe in.

I switched from using MS OneNote to simple markdown notes organized in knowledge graphs such as @RoamResearch / @obsdmd a couple of months ago and it has been working out great! Highly recommended as a simple yet powerful #notetaking mechanism. #AcademicChatter #phdchat
