how I avoid deprecated urls with magic urls, which automatically redirect to the latest version of a page
The status indicator reflects the current state of the work: - Abandoned: Work that has been discontinued - Notes: Initial collections of thoughts and references - Draft: Early structured version with a central thesis - In Progress: Well-developed work actively being refined - Finished: Completed work with no planned major changes This helps readers understand the maturity and completeness of the content.
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words: 1. "certain" 2. "highly likely" 3. "likely" 4. "possible" 5. "unlikely" 6. "highly unlikely" 7. "remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on: - the reader - the intended audience - the world at large For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
Only having started the development of this site in jan. 2025 and it currently being feb. of 2026 it is officially over 1 year since the development started. I am elated at all the progress I have made, and the lessons learned along the way. Among those is usually if you just hold off on a Issue and continue working at the things around it then eventually as you get smarter, and the tools get better a solution will reveal itself naturally. I was able to move fairly fast due to making this not just this site but the physical manifestation of my new life priority last year, and moving forward. I gave myself the first year to get things off the ground expect to move slow while working hard and seeing no return. All of those things were true. I worked tirelessly, took longer than I would have otherwise expected, and saw no monetary gain for my efforts. The best part. I love it, every single moment of it. I have had breakthrough after breakthrough of this site, and the one thing i regret is not making technical documentation post a priority of this site. Due to this the entire first year of iteration will be foreign to mostly all of my future viewers. Fortunatly enough it also takes away the amo some of you would have unloaded on me for the primative ways in which some things were handled in the earlier versions. Although im sure the readers will find a ample amount to complain about in any stage. To attempt reconciliation I will be creating some write ups on major features of the site that have had a massive impact on it's architecture of time. This is a test
