• FSRS: A modern, efficient spaced repetition algorithm

  I wonder if there is plan for this to land in Mnemosyne[1]. I prefer Mnemosyne over Anki because I can self-host the web-sync server. 1: https://mnemosyne-proj.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How do you retain information when self learning?

  I have tried using spaced repetition with Mnemosyne for math, specifically for learning Category Theory. It did help. Spaced repetition seems to work better for me if the answers to the questions are short (like learning Spanish vocabulary). When doing math, you often want to remember an entire definition, which might be too long to use spaced repetition flash cards effectively. Source: about 1 year ago

• Knot very smart

  I've had good luck with spaced repetition using mnemosyne for lots of other stuff but haven't tried it for knots yet. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hi, next week I have my first day as a software dev, and I'm kinda nervous.

  Also, take the time to learn everyone's name and face. I use a flash card program like Mnemosyne to copy people's photos from the corporate directory. Learn them all the first week or even in the first couple of days. Source: about 1 year ago

• McMillan or PDG Promote?

  Https://mnemosyne-proj.org/ use this, make every relevant term a flash card and event a flash card. It takes forever to populate, but you learn on entry in addition to “study”. Source: over 1 year ago

• Issue in remembering what services do in questions

  This is what I did....lots of flash cards. I used cram.com, but most sites work. I strongly suggest making your own, though. Don't put everything on them, just put the things you're struggling with. It's way more efficient to just work on the areas you don't know than to spend ages reviewing facts you already know.

• What helped you pass Solutions Architect?

  I used Cantrill's course, TutorialDojo's practice exams, and cram.com for flash cards. I used the practice exams to help me identify where I was weak, and I'd go back and study those topics in more depth. Also, whenever I got a practice question wrong (or right only out of luck), I made up flash cards with whatever bits of information I was missing that would have helped me *know* what the right answer was. ...

• How do u remember dates for history subjects

  Use flashcards. I used cram.com and made a bunch of cards to memorise stats, dates and quotes. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are grammar books a waste of time when you are at a certain level in a language?

  I don't use Anki but I used to make my own flash cards when I first started using cram.com lol. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Failed CHMM

  I made a set of flash cards at cram.com. These are from 2017 though, so I'm not sure if they're still applicable or if the test covers significantly different material now. Source: almost 2 years ago
