I've had problems finding a note taking suite that I could really buy into. There are a few I've used, they all have some pros and cons, but nothing stands out right now as the clear winner:

* Tomoby:

- pros: fast, good search, really liked local editing, integrates with quick launchers like Gnome DO and Albert which I found essential for quick references, especially programming and Linux commands which, when I want them, I want them NOW. type: "<ctrl>+<space>grep examples" and have a reference to my most frequently used patters in 1 sec is SO helpful.

- cons: sync/mobile solutions are hacky, no longer maintained, Ubuntu 19.04 removed it, not encrypted, Copy & paste to/from other apps (Thunderbird) doesn't work like you'd expect, formatting is not preserved.

* Evernote: meh...used it for a couple years. Liked multi-device support. Their web client wasn't that great and they didn't have a Linux client. I paid for it and put maybe 100 notes in it, but eventually stopped using it and converted back to the free version.

* Dropbox Paper:

- pros: nice editor, have the basics right, integrated with Dropbox which I already use, so no additional cost, good mobile client, really easy to share notes with groups of people (family) or one-offs to others with a link.

- cons: some bugs and bad UX still, no encryption (but Dropbox already has most of my files so I've already sold out a bit to them I guess), loading a browser tab is just slower than the Tomboy UX described above...I find I like using Paper for longer docs or things I'll access on mobile, but it's just not a good replacement for those quick notes that when I want them, I want them NOW!

I've tried a number of other ones over the years, never really found a sweet spot. I actually think something like Tomboy is really the best note taking app, but for it to really thrive, it would need better options for mobile and note sync than Tomboy ever had. Adding end-to-end encryption and sharing would also be great.

This simple yet robust app totaly ruined mind maps for me.
This might actually be the future of running net-accessible stuff on your own devices, if the NAT-imposed unreachability continues to cement itself as the default expectation for people. Great that they have a free tier.

Though I think you can do this same thing with many existing tunnel providers too, no?
I charge for something which don't exist
Yeah, but it used to have $1000s in it.

I use NVAlt with a quite complex tagging method. All in all, I guess you could say that it is a Zettelkasten notebook. [1]

Equally, AUCTeX in Emacs for direct editing of LaTeX (best TeX editor there is).

(For more complex documents, I've had better luck manipulating TeX directly rather than via another layer, e.g. Org mode, which is fantastic for other things.)
It works for (the US) military because they assign unique NET codes to groups and unique keys to transceivers. The frequency schedule is seeded using part of the key, the NET, and the day. The system is actually designed with the assumption that transceivers will fall in to enemy hands.

Starlink could implement something similar where the schedule is seeded using a key stored on the device, the day, and the receivers serial number (or other unique value). Supporting a million receivers is the same as supporting one, it is basically just one more input to a hash function.
Friendly pedantry: in that video, you referred to vi as "vee"? :)
Notes would almost be perfect but the lack of being able to hyperlink between notes easily makes it a non starter for me unfortunately.
Evernote. For KM, I keep notebooks labeled:

- Excerpts (for summaries and excerpts from books and articles)

- Snippets (for code snippets, formulas, etc)

- Reports (for results of research on a subject, e.g. learning new API)

- Papers (copies of research papers)

Dividing notes in such a way also helps to review them with varying frequency. For example, snippets get outdated often (e.g. workarounds for bugs or polyfills) so I have to go over them more often. Reports get updated as I learn new things about a particular subject that has its report. Excerpts are updated only if I decide to re-read the material they cover and extend them. Papers last as long as I'm interested in subject.
Being anti-nuclear doesn’t mean you’re anti-science, nor does questioning the value/cost/results of GMO foods.
I guess?

But I, as an engineer, don't know accounting, or how to setup a healthcare plan, or the intricacies of VC funding documents, etc. Thinking about how people use what you are building and how to make it better seems like table stakes for engineers in the startup world.

Thinking about the product and users is the job of engineers. So is coding a solution. And so is not coding a solution when there is a better option.

I guess if you get to a later stage startup, where you are working on very specific technical problems, you might be forgiven if you don't know what it means to the larger organization, but I can't imagine working in that environment and being happy. A fancy algorithm is cool I guess, but if I don't know how it's moving the business forward it's basically meaningless to me.

YMMV
I use google colab (https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/)for things like work notes on setting things up, any new tech I am learning. The best thing is it support code(python).
Google keep(http://keep.google.com) for noting down any interesting thoughts/ideas/lesson I learn through out the day. I usually create a card per month to keep it organised.
If my boss says no, then I don't go.

That's the right decision, is he supposed to cover the difference out of pocket?

And it gets worse. This also happened: I adjusted the filters and looked everywhere. After about 3 hours searching I couldn’t find a hotel for under $280 anywhere in the city.

Now there's a productive use of employee time! How much did that cost the company?
Hard to say. FWIW, much of the time the exact plate gets read. But it also matters what has been trained. Some states have weird vanity plates. So it not purely an optics problem.

If I could I would have all my customers scan plates with the iPhone XS. But many work with 7 or even less.

Also introducing a lot more collected data to dedupe is a thing as well. One of the first algos I worked on was just realizing in short term new dats we already had a car and to not try and treat the same car like it was another car.
I remember Neil Stephenson once compared the cutting of undersea fiber optic cabling to the use of nuclear weapons: once one nation does it, every one is going to do it, so no one ever does it.

So I think China will innovate and find ways to block access to starlink, without attacking the satellites.
Thank you I will look at these.
You can access documents all the way back to 2003.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that this hole has existed that long.
This is so awesome I love it, I also love that they dogfeed their own app into the pricing page.
I have hundreds of fake facebook profiles, because back in ~2005 or so when my university got facebook, I realized that our email accounts received all mail going to not only myaccount@myschool.edu but also myaccount@*.myschool.edu. Facebook, on the other hand, only confirmed if you were allowed to register based on suffix matching(it was limited to certain schools at that time), but otherwise treated your full email address as your ID. If bug bounties existed back then I would have certainly turned it in, but instead I just used it as a tool to entertain friends by posting comments as other people. Most of those accounts are based on memes from back then, or minor celebrity musicians myself and my friends were in to, but to this day, every account I try still works.
Notes for things I want to jot down. Things that are code end up in projects that I periodically refer back to.
Are they?

I would imagine the Objective is something like "Maximize the number of people we can help at our clinic". And a key result would be "The number of no-shows for appointments is below 5%".

It then follows that the product development teams (product and engineers) would get together and say something like "Great, we can think up 14 projects that might help us reduce the number of no shows. Here they are in order of easiest and/or highest likelihood to succeed to hardest and/or least likely to succeed".

How else would you use OKRs?
Yes I do but I wish I didn't keep it so haphazard.

By haphazard I mean to focus not only on acquisition but reflection / contemplation: Collecting thoughts is one thing, putting them together into a cohesive and coherent body of knowledge is another. So, that's what I'm working on.

pmwiki for now. Workflow is personal domain, putting browser or window on one side of the screen and what I'm reviewing, or what I'm thinking / text editor (sublime text) of the other side. Putting into a DIY solution based on flask simply because that's flask practice.

I also like pens and paper and whiteboards. So take pictures and use Powerpoint's 'remove background' feature to have a liberal amount of pictures.

A bit rambling, but you asked and asking is usually best! So.. :D !
The description of the project begs the question: how is this different from other Javascript implementations of Lua?
I use google keep
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Keep
I’ve recently compiled a Lua-based project into WASM with Emscripten, but transpiling Lua into JS to avoid the engine overhead is compelling. I wonder how these approaches compare. For me it’s very alluring to use most of the same codebase as other deployment targets. This also has the potential to add better contextual intelligence to a web-based Lua editor- I’ll have to race it against Regex to see which is faster/better at pulling lists of locals/globals/functions out of Lua input for use in auto-complete.

I spent a few cycles in media buying and later in sell-side ad tech. Please do say what you will about advertising and its effects on the web, but I will say this: it is a world of fascinating tech. As a buyer I experienced janky pacing all of the time across various platforms, because this is a HARD problem. We had to manually adjust campaigns on a daily basis to ensure pacing worked properly. It was common to stop a campaign and overspend by hundreds of dollars while all of the caching spun down.

I'm fascinated to see they are running that all on a single node. Its a massive amount of state aggregated from billions of events that needs to be served at extremely low latency, but couldn't it be partitioned somehow??? Google Fi/Spanner and BigTable have certainly been developed to support these issues. I've been trying to dig up what infrastructure powers Google AdX, but I haven't found anything. AdWords seems to be tied to Spanner, but AdX is/was an entirely different beast. In any case I'm quite certain that it isn't running pacing on a single, gigantic node.

Your idea of what a tesla is like is far off. My 2012 tesla can drive over 250 miles. If I really gun it in the winter in the mountains its over 200. Then 30 mins charging at a supercharger. The new S can go over 370 miles without charging. 60 miles an hour * 4 hours, people stop to eat or pee.
I guess to me that $10 is a suggestion that they are competing on execution price instead of transaction fee.
I've had troubles coming to a good software solution or workflow either.

Software wise, I've tryed a few things and settled with MediaWiki and some extensions added. Most notably Semantic MediaWiki (adds structured data storage and querying), Semantic Forms (structured forms) and a Bootstrap based skin. But only the technical setup won't get you far in a wiki, so I've also created a lightweight, flexible "ontology" / structure for knowledge management that was fitting my own needs.

This was not too easy to set up (Finding a structure / ontology / data and query workflow, but also the implementation using the wiki itself), but now I'm quite happy with it as a platform. I really wish there would be a lower barrier to entry for people here. If you're interested, please PM me and I can show you some examples.

As for the workflow of personal knowledge management, I'd be really interested what works for other people as well and I'm still figuring this out.

My current approach is using different phases. It's OK for me to read a book and not note anything or only do kindle notes. When reading articles on the net, I usually bookmark more interesting articles using getpocket. I do notes on paper when I don't want to be distracted or influenced by a computer.

For this year, my resolution is to acquire less new knowledge, but to take some time and to rehearse, summarize and repeat what I've found interesting and worth my time before. What sticks here should go into the wiki.

I want to keep my knowledge base very concise and opinionated. There's no need to create a second wikipedia.org. I'll only add something in the wiki when:
* Some idea is truly remarkable on the first spot
* I go over my old notes see what was the essentials of it. Those are worth putting into a wiki.
* When I'm doing some dedicated, structured research around a topic. Then I also try to get the ontology and structure right first.
* Code Snippets that I repeatedly use

You forgot my birthday again. Why don't you stick it in Uranus?
Both public and private. Public, a static site made from markdown files : https://raymii.org. Almost 400 articles now.

private, a folder called "notes", with almost a thousand short text files. Workflow for it? Use grep to find what I want. I had a system of folders per topic but that became a mess. Grep is good enough. The notes folder is synced with synching to multiple systems and my phone. On the phone I have termux, which has grep and markor as text editor.
You can check out Anki[1]. Apart from the initial setup, you won't have to worry about taking care of the web server.

I create separate decks for different fields and then only if necessary do I create subdecks. I also tag all the cards that I create and make sure to spend a lot of time to ensure that it's made and tagged properly.
So, whenever I learn something new and I believe at that point of time that it's worth remembering, I create a card for that.

Lost my job. Found a new one. You're still blaming the person who was sexually harassed for not responding the way you expected them to. There was no real HR in this company. I had a problem with being an awkward communicator. In my own life it was enough to cost me my job. I provided a reason why men aren't willing to risk their careers, and you just didn't like that it actually happens. The fact of the matter is that I should never have been put in that situation in the first place. I didn't ask for the sexual advance, had I been a woman you would be entirely on my side as women shouldn't be responsible for perfect responses to sexual harassment either, and it's easier to fire a male employee and avoid an HR issue or a lawsuit than it is to do due diligence unless you're already a company that approves of a horrible workplace. I think you have a problem with the fact that this actually happened and it doesn't fit your world view.
Well, this is working around externally imposed lack of internet connecivity after all. It might be called abuse by your local Mordac^Wperson disagreeing with you about risk assessments. You may want to try getting your net fixed, as an alternative to this proxying.

Deft in Emacs. [1] I write my notes in Markdown or Org-mode, and Deft lets me search them all really fast. For cross-file references, I use Org’s delightful file hyperlink scheme. For export, I use Pandoc. I’ve got a project that I haven’t quite figured out how to get on home brew (I’m new at this) that takes a file in <format> and lets me read it like a Man page. [2]

Honestly I'd love to go the other way, the Lua VMs are so far ahead in terms of portability, ease of integration and speed(luajit is still a marvel of engineering) but so many people are turned off by parts of the language it'd be great to present a JS interface to these runtimes.

I still remember shipping the entire game logic for a title on the PSP inside of a 400kb block and that's was before the days of luajit. It's really an incredible language and I really wish it saw more mainstream use.

I really like Quiver (https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki).
My relationship is the same. I make a lot of money, and there's not much I want. I get a lot of joy out of watching my wife get things she wants though (which almost always makes my life better in ways I don't always expect).

Certainly when we made less money we had to coordinate much more.
I think I get too little of it for that :-)
After you quit and/or don't sign the contract, it would be great if you could share the name of this ridiculous company. Public shaming of this kind of action can act as a deterrent.
Lately I've just been using a directory full of markdown files. I store my personal collection in Dropbox but it would be just as easy to use git or any other tool. I've created an alias to automatically open that directory in my favorite editing tool when I type "notes".

I also manually maintain an index.md file to categorize things, but it's not really necessary when you can just use grep or your editors search feature to find what you need.

They did, however, "catch" my Instagram account, which was only used by a human (me).

Since posting is not possible without installing the app, I never posted anything, but I did have a profile picture, followed accounts, and commented on posts.

Then, one day, I tried to log in, and it was gone. Email address not recognized in password reset. No trace of any kind.

So long, Instagram.
I'm usually in a terminal, so I use vimwiki (https://vimwiki.github.io/) - it supports markdown, adding pages is trivial, and vim tags or CLI tools like grep makes it easily searchable.

It lives in a private NextCloud instance, so everything's available from my laptop or phone (although editing markdown on a phone is no fun).

Edit - this is great for detailed note-taking; I also use a custom command-line tool to capture ad hoc notes, ideas, and suggestions without opening vim. They go into a YAML file right now; tooling in process to pull them directly into the wiki, so everything's in one place.
It is amusing how this sort of stuff evolves over time.

Before Microsoft was doing DOS their big product was Microsoft BASIC for the Altair computer. No OS, just load it into memory (from paper tape or cassette tape!) and start it up. Microsoft BASIC was written in 8080 assembler (Bill Gates once pointed this out to me in a meeting). The assembler that was used was called CROSS80 and it ran on both TOPS20 and TOPS10 (DEC10 operating systems for the DEC system that Bill and Paul used at Harvard when writing BASIC)

The TOPS-10 command line manual is here : https://livingcomputers.org/Discover/Online-Systems/User-Doc... and you will see that on page ix in the conventions used, TOPS 10 introduced command options (switches) with the forward slash character (/switch)

The use of / for "options" was a standard part of DCL (the DEC Command Language) here is the document for RT-11 (ftp://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/dec/pdp11/rt11/v5.6_Aug91/AA-PDU0A-TC_RT-11_Commands_Manual_Aug91.pdf)

Microsoft was copying DEC because at the time DEC was the most successful MINIcomputer company and Microsoft had aspirations of being the most successful MICROcomputer company.

As a result command options (or switches) were preceded by '/' and that gave the parser heartburn if you used forward slash for the path. If you read the RT-11 manual you will see that the COPY command took an option /BOOT to copy to the boot directory, and it was written COPY/BOOT not COPY<space>/BOOT. If a directory was involved it would be FOO/COPY/BOOT and how would you be able to parse that? Bell Labs (also DEC users at the time) switched to using '-' for UNIX to indicate a switch or option because it wasn't a path character.

At the end of the day the desire to be like DEC was what gave us both devices with colon's on the end (LPT: anyone?) and logging into the "active" directory. And DEC used slash for options in their DCL so that is what Microsoft used.

Plus a public wiki where I posted things I’m interested in: wiki.secretgeek.net

Also have private places where I store things I learn that are business confidential etc. As well as a password manager for the most protected things.

I do the exact same, down to the "notes" alias. I find the downside to this approach is it doesn't work well on mobile - the Dropbox app can edit files but there's no search and it all feels a bit clunky.
That was probably about weev, and they were after him long before that case, so it's not likely that it would get some random person (that the FBI doesn't have a file on and an interest in picking up) in the same trouble.
Climbing the seven summits is one of my life goals, and I'm doing a lot of research on Everest. I have been to the Everest base camp and Annapurna base camp.

Unfortunate mont Everest is no longer the great achievement it once was. The risk is still there (the riskiest being you running out of oxygen), but don't expect the thrill of wandering a mountain and using your survival skills there.

There was a story a few weeks back that a Sherpa gave his own supply of oxygen to save a Malaysian tourist. There are many stories that are borderline human abuse for Sherpas.

For a great hike, I can't recommend PCT and AT trails in North America enough! For Europe, you have GR-20 (one of the best experiences in my while life), Pyrenees, etc. They won't get you to great elevations but they all out yourself with breathtaking views, challenges, and getting to know some amazing people.

For the toughest hikers out there, Puncak Jaya (East of Indonesian archipelago) puts your everything up for the riskiest yet most rewarding challenge.
> And, it is irrational to compare startup valuations to established companies.

Uhh, hate to break it to you but startups don't get "special valuations" because someone calls them startups. That's just not how it works. There's a little thing called "comps" that are used when companies get valued and no banker says "oh thats a startup so their valuation is different".
