Love your book btw. I was scrolling down to see if someone had already suggested it.

PS. One of my favorite excerpts from Lauren Ipsum: `That's how it starts. A little Jargon doesn't look like much. Some people even keep them as pets. But they form packs, and they are very dangerous.`

Actually, if you activate the 'Hinterland' extension, you don't need to hit tab. And there's a ton of more extensions too. Their Github repo has instructions on how to set up the extensions - https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensi...

Funny that you link an article whose title is "OAP, 84, paints magnificent masterpiece - but has never had an art lesson in his life" but inside the article, we have "... Former toolmaker Ken Small worked seven hours a day for three years to produce the extraordinary reproduction of Canaletto's famous work."

My argument is that 'working 7 hours a day for 3 years' should have been the title of the article, not the effortless perfection suggested by "...but has never had an art lesson in his life".

> What matters is that the kid brings a lot of hope and joy to people.

I disagree. The article brings clicks. If we're to bring hope, let the focus on things that people can work with. You can't become 11 years old. But if you learn how the kid practised, challenges he faced, etc, you have something to build on if wish to get to his expertise level some day.

If that sounds like pure envy, then I'm happy to be the villain of this story.

You misunderstand my point. I'm arguing against his age being used as a wow factor. IMO, such articles make older artists, who have managed to put in the same amount of effort, seem less gifted.

Art should be appreciated for what it is. Shouldn't matter if the artist is 11 or 40.

I feel that a disproportionate attention goes towards the chronological age of young achievers. Suppose he's had 3 years of intensive practice. I'd like to live in a world where a 50 year old, who has spent 3 years practising, get the same amount of praise.

IMO, this whole 'Look at what this 15 year old can do!' needs to change to 'Look at what 4 years of practice can get you'.

I also find it useful to organize my notes by topic rather than by book/author/time. Over time, I will build a master reference for topics that I'm interested in.

OneNote/Evernote is especially helpful when you use handwritten idea maps (e.g. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvGG5UqSCqXTnjq9_pD_gb7SJPce). I can't run out of space on my page and I can easily modify the contents if I find better material down the road.
