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 lightweight (arguably) text formatting tool mostly used as an outliner at its core.
Org mode has a variety of features allowing it to be flexibly used for note-taking and even in research.
- Text formatting options similar to Markdown perfect for [[id:0d2264a6-e487-4761-818a-d17d2833120f][Note-taking]].
- Task management with TODO, [[id:3a57fe56-9e6d-41e4-a76f-5ffdeb5840a2][Org mode timestamps]], and the agenda view.
Making it a good plain-text tool for [[id:88f2256a-3359-4d10-92a3-9273cabce414][Personal information management]].
- [[id:5569a49f-c387-4da2-8f68-d8452e35ee5b][Org mode: Babel]] that enables notes suited for [[id:6eeb7a24-b662-46d6-9ece-00a5028ff4d8][Reproducible research]].
Unfortunately, a lot of the famous powers of the format is tied with [[id:ce6ab58e-b295-4fdb-8af7-fc89c63ec208][GNU Emacs]].
While there is an ecosystem flourishing outside of the text editor (e.g., [[https://github.com/niklasfasching/go-org][go-org]], [[https://github.com/orgapp/orgajs][orgajs]], [[https://pandoc.org/org.html][Org mode support in Pandoc]]), the plugins inside of Emacs simply cannot be ignored.
Among other Org mode plugins inside of the Emacs ecosystem, we have [[roam:org-roam][org-roam]], [[https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref][org-ref]], [[https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter][org-noter]], [[https://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/index.html][a number of exporters]], and [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/index.html][org-babel language plugins]] that extends to more workflows.
