Building a Second Brain

In the middle of reading this book, I realized that the term Digital Brain, Second Brain, Digital Garden, and PKM are used interchangeably, they are not quite the same.
I have organized them in the following manner.

Term	Meaning
Second Brain	Implementation for augmenting your thoughts.
Digital Garden	Implementation for documenting your knowledge.
PKM	Architecture for Digital Garden.
PARA	Architecture for Second Brain.

Digital Brain is a digitally implemented Second Brain.

Second Brain	Digital Garden
Project-oriented	Knowledge-oriented
Notes are in Britannica Style	Notes are in Wikipedia Style
Allows foldering	Prohibits foldering
Allows archiving	Prohibits archiving
Focuses on managing different projects that grow into a creative garage	Focuses on creating and tending Evergreen notes posts that grow into a knowledge base

I like the CODE Procedure in PARA architecture as a project management system, which does more than PKM. To be exact, PKM only takes care of the Resource section in PARA.

Interesting Webs

How we think about browsers

GitHub plans to switch to ES2020 with optional chaining and nullish coalescing.
This will reduce 10kb in JavaScript.
Most GitHub users use fairly up-to-date browsers.
