Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Org mode: Babel

Babel is the framework that enables Org mode to be a Reproducible research tool. It is comparable to Jupyter and R Markdown that other computational scientists use it.

Among other features, it can do the following.

  • Prints the results from code blocks.
  • Create files from a single document, making it possible to create entire computational reports.
  • Pass values from one code block to another, even with different programming languages.
  • Create graphics similarly to Jupyter and R Markdown notebooks.
  • Call code blocks either inline, as a block, or inside of another code block, thereby enabling metaprogramming and dynamic contents.

The unfortunate thing is most of these features are only available when using with GNU Emacs.

For more details, you can see The basics of org-babel.
