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.

A good tagging system for files for reducing information overload

Stealing from this talk, the best (personal) practice for tagging include the following.

  • Limiting the vocabulary into a set number. The author recommends to limit it to 100 but lesser is better.
  • Tags should always be in plural.
  • Keep tags general (e.g., sports instead of bowling, basketball, or volleyball).
  • No tags should be derived from file extensions (e.g., photographs, books, documents).

In my case, this is not enough since we want tags for specific things.

  • Any topic-specific should be appended as a subtag (e.g., sports.bowling, sports.basketball, sports.volleyball). If a subtag are established enough, then you may classify it as a general tag.
