Gabriel Arazas edc686c25c Update wiki on various topics
This update is too large, I made too many notes on stuff. Nonetheless,
it is very nice to see progress. I've made note revisions on the
following topics:

- Learning
- Writing
- Various Linux-related stuff

I've yet to start learning illustration but I'll be starting tomorrow
for an update how do I keep in mind with those writings. There are still
a lot of things to be processed from the backlog with yet more notes on
learning but I keep having those perspectives whenever I practice so
ehhh... Better have those than nothing?

Furthermore, I've also updated the timestamp format. It is pretty simple
to update all of the notes with a couple of `sed` calls.

Aaaand, I've also changed the way how the assets stored with the folders
only leaving it up for the generated files instead of enforcing it on
every note. I create more visual aids and managing them is a pain for
each note. This restructuring frees me of that burden.

Professional narcissism

Per Pinker:

The confusion of the activities of your guild, profession, or field with the subject matter designed to deal with.

  • coined by Steven Pinker from his book, "The sense of style"
  • focuses on an unrelated thing of your study or activity
  • some examples

    • in film, instead of focusing what movie is about, they boast about the sales or views
    • in media, "cover the coverage", a problem leading to echo chambers
    • in learning, instead of focusing what and why of a note-taking method, they focus on the possible effects of your productivity
  • this could also happen on yourself

    • in note-taking, you may focus on the number of notes, neglecting certain aspects such as the purpose and the quality of the notes
    • in programming, you may boast how the program is fast instead of making sure the program is usable
