I work in a team closely related to another team, and together we're about 30 people in the midst of THOUSANDS of engineers responsible for shipping product. We are dying under the burden of tracking and correlating engineering decisions across product lines and customers through presentations (you can't have a meeting without PowerPoint!) and spreadsheets -- scattered all over internal shared drives -- email, and Skype chats (which the company won't allow history for). Just this week, I'm supposed to start working on a plan to implement a knowledgebase system to capture all of this information. Obviously, I'm very interested in the answers here.

The original question was about sharing knowledge amongst a TEAM, but almost all of the responses are about PERSONAL systems. I know most people watching this board are small-company startup types (in general), but I'm hoping that some of the old codgers, like me, working in creaky, legacy firms, have more to say. If we can't find something off-the-shelf here, I'm going to wind up writing some kludgy homegrown tool with Elasticsearch, and, frankly, this just doesn't interest me. I need answers people! The leader for large teams, according to what I see here, seems to be Confluence. Notion LOOKS cool, but putting this data in someone else's hosted service is an absolute non-starter for us.
Oh haha, I remember finding this a couple months back when I was discussing with a colleague, an old serial modem I have. I was wondering how difficult it would be to simulate a modem connection between the terminal and a PC as opposed to a direct serial line between the two. Now that I found this again, I might have to try it out.
All they really need to thwart is the fed’s free money policies and banks ability to give people mortgages at 50% DTI and 1% down.
I was just looking for garmin's basecamp a couple of weeks ago and caught myself mid-type, realizing that simply searching for "basecamp" will find the IT company.

My brain did a pre-google.
Tie it into a weather API so we can have a longer pause between red and green depending on weather conditions to give people time to slide through the intersection.
The author of the article himself embarked in a crussade to ban limit EM emissions after publishing a meta-analysis which shown there is correlation between 10 year phone use and brain tumors. Yes. Without accounting for any other risk factor. Because the lifestyle of people who use phones and people who don't are certainly similar.

Correlation != causation. And the author does not ask for caution and research, he asks directly for limits on the technology.

They are not number one for me. Nor is Garmin. A nonprofit organisation working with student living spaces are no. 1 for me. No one is owed any position on google results, as they are not universal.

Sure, or DDG. But GGP was complaining about using a different product - I was merely making the point that you cannot avoid that if you want to avoid tracking.
Since I got my CCS (Cert Cloud Shaman) status, not only have my ritual sacrifices gone more smoothly, I have experienced greater AZ uptime, job satisfaction and expanded networking opportunities. Memorizing AWS labels and esoterica is much easier if incorporated into a ritual chant.

Also, I can now add Blood Sacrifice as an optional extra for my clients, who see the fee as a small price to pay for covering all the bases.
Cohesive company identity with aligned values and goals is not endangered by people with Asperger or whatever on position of coder or admin. The way more bigger threat to that goal is selection of people for management and leadership level. Who gets rewarded and why.

You can talk about cohesiveness and shared values till your face is blue, but if people lie, manipulate, intentionally misinform, are antagonistic in order to throw competition down, it wont happen no matter how autists were refused.

Like, we come back to social skills of developers topic every other month. But actual cohesiveness culture depends way more on middle management which tend to attract and select people who cause way more drama and ineffectivity then people with asperger.
I was prepared for this article to be a ridiculous, illuminati- and qanon-reference laden steaming pile of nonsense. It is not.

> Some firms, notably Walmart and and Amazon, are so “vast” that they are in every important respect “planned economies” like the former Soviet Union.

This article appears to be a thoughtful critique of a long-form article from "Jacobin". It's worth a read. You will have to elsewhere for steaming piles of Qanonsense, however.

> many of their judgements of others are laundered through religion

I like this phrase - very expressive.
there's maybe a model that describes this because its just a casual observation i am making, not based on data.

but i believe that online meet-up spots are similar to physically hosting a party. people in-the-know show up in small numbers to a place, and now the time-and-place has turned into a 'party with the cool people'.

on a graph, y-axis is coolness and x-axis is time - typical -x^2 graph where the party hits a coolest point but as time progresses, more and more people who bring noise, low energy, cynicism, and karma grinding show up and kill the party.

but well before the maximum coolness, the original people that turned the party into a real instance, they already got bored and left for the 'after party', which is just the N+1 party instance.

if we calculate how to predict N+1, the algorithm that did it is instantly invalid, so there's no answer to where the next cool party is. i believe it generally starts off as something quasi private, but with some invariable public entry that allows it to grow enough that it eventually gets ruined.

consider all the closed door parties, like private forums, that have been stable brown dwarfs that exist for almost forever - we can't list those here because it's a violation of the rules, to admit they exist.

by the time we all realize where the next place to have these cordial, bourbon sipping, armchair style message forum posts, all the cool people will already have moved into the next room in. and this room will have a coat room full of people taking their coats off, ready to move into where the perceived cool party is happening.

it's neat. i'm not in the cool party and i never will be, but it's still fascinating to get to chat with people on here who are still serious and adhere to whatever the culture here is. i liken it to how i would act differently if i snuck into a golf resort. i have no idea what i am doing but i can fake it just enough to avoid detection.

You conflated ionising and non-ionising radiation (flying/banana/chest x-ray vs. radio waves, wifi, light from lightbulbs).

Just so you know.

Your point still stands though, although i would say we're bathed in more intense radiation than 5G and have been bathing in it for millenias - sunlight is radiation as well!

Better live underground, i guess.

Oh, oh, but what about skin cancer you say? That's caused by sunlight, right, so radiowaves could harm you, right? Yeah, but skin cancer is caused by ultraviolet, high energy, high frequency EM radiation (3-30PHz). Petahertz, Coral! That's several orders of magnitude less than most extreme 5G!

Don't even get me started on the power levels of sun vs a base station!

So yeah, the claims of health impact are bullshit.
That is what I think, but in usage, for instance here, the person is identifying Cali as a bastion of leftist policies and I don't think Cali is particularly far left.

Harris, Feinstein and Pelosi are all pretty center, until 2011 they had a Republican governo,r and these tech companies and their values are decidely not liberal.

Further, Cali is home to some very conservative politics, Devin Nunes is way out there as is Kevin McCarthy.

The idea of leftist doesn't seem consistent with the usage.
In college I knew a number of "brogrammers" (frat boys, who did fratty things, and banged their head against coding as best they could). None of them are programming today.
A co-worker and I were asked to write up an estimate for a new project. We sat down, walked through the components (best we could at the time) and came up with an estimate (which was likely smaller than the actual given the unknowns). We provided the estimate to leadership. They decided not to do the project. Next, I hear from the head of engineering, "You can't go giving huge estimates to leadership. It makes us look bad." It was one of those moments that reinforced my belief that the "image game" and reality are in conflict and people who enable the "image game" are one of the biggest problems in software estimation.

Sellers have the option about whether their inventory can be commingled. Also, when there is high fraud potential or a large number of complaints Amazon doesn't allow commingling stock.

I operate a supply chain company who works for Amazon 3rd party sellers.
Even if current levels of radiation are harmless, it does not mean that the same applies to 5G.

Studies funded by the 5G industry are 10 times more likely to say there are no side effects on human, which is suspect and an indication that is an attempt to manipulate science going on - https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-cell-phone-radiation-c...

The leading independent organization on cancer causes says that current cell phones are "possible carcinogens" - https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cell-phone-brain-tumor-risk...
I'd recommend watching this video of a real-world 5g test https://youtu.be/_CTUs_2hq6Y - The speeds are >1gbps when you're effectively next to the 5g nodes, while it would reach <400mbps while going around walls and would jump between LTE and 5g (in an attempt to be on the fastest network).
Can you make backups of your data that don't rely on notion to exist to be usable?
Does the video freak anyone else out? It's amazing, but something in my lizard brain just kicked me. I guess I'm saying I have some issues.
I've worked at a few and what they had in common was that they were sales-driven and the technology portion of their products tended to be on the simple side.
It isn’t just an application, it’s an application that runs on your always-on computer. Which most people don’t have. Nor do they have a Raspberry Pi, QNAP or Synology NAS.

Knowing that Plex exists is certainly one thing. But you still need to run it somewhere.
Higher the frequency, less radiation penetration there is (skin effect), so higher = "better"
Why not use Modern Monetary Theory? Left wing economists have told me deficits don’t matter...
For everyone genuinely worried about this: have there been any studies that specifically single out technicians who work on cellular antennas? Long hours every day, getting closer to the antennas than any of us ever do? I'm not suggesting there's a risk, but it seems that if there were a risk, then we've identified one of the highest risk populations for study.

I appreciate the feedback! I'm not a user of J or APL in any regular way, but I feel that there's something going on there that I don't understand (and, due to spreadsheets serving APL's 1970s constituency better than APL did, perhaps nobody ever will). I suspect that J itself is fatally flawed, but I don't understand its merits well enough to be sure how to fix it.

My frustration comes from the quality of the discourse rather than from some feeling that my favorite language is being slighted. Perhaps it's unfair of me to be so demanding of others when I'm so often stubbornly ignorant myself, but I would like people to just not post middlebrow dismissals of this sort (and to tell me when I'm doing something similar); they make rational discussion impractically difficult to find in the interstices between the aggressive posturing. (As inimino said, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21302174 "This is why we can't have nice discussions about programming languages." I believe that's actually true.) Can you imagine biologists attempting to discuss the evidence about the evolution of a particular signaling pathway at a conference where Creationists are shouting that evolution doesn't create new species?

Clearly the folks voting on HN have different preferences.

I want to emphasize that it's not the poster's cluelessness that I'm criticizing. Everyone starts out clueless about everything and stays that way about most things; there is nothing wrong with that. Nor is it their willingness to spout off about their cluelessness — expressing your misconceptions is very often the quickest way to get people to correct them, which happened in this case; both inimino and I wasted our time laying some deep knowledge on the dude. Rather, it's their persistent refusal to notice their own lack of understanding — and the public approbation of that refusal — that I think poisons the well of rational discourse. That's what reminded me of my encounter with Kent Hovind on the streets of Berkeley.

Think, by contrast, of Leibniz's ideal: Quando orientur controversiae, non magis disputatione opus erit inter duos philosophos, quam inter duos computistas. Sufficiet enim calamos in manus sumere sedereque ad abacos, et sibi mutuo (accito si placet amico) dicere: calculemus. Think of the pleasant collegiality that in fact exists among mathematicians, where a few minutes of discussion commonly suffices to convert an opponent into an ally, and the youngest and least experienced can point out an error made by the most respected with the full expectation that their correction — if correct — will be gratefully accepted. In this case, at the other extreme, we have a controversy which is easily resolved with three minutes watching YouTube, but which instead spawned a long thread of aggressive comments, complete with boasts about how easy it is to understand while loops. This is the kind of thing that led to JWZ's famous gibe.

How can we foster an environment more like Leibniz's ideal, if not by pointing out the most egregious discrepancies in behavior? Perhaps my arrogance is not the way — this is IIRC why you didn't want to work with me at Skysheet — but what is?
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is frequently recommended here. I would especially recommend understanding section 3.2, which I've found very helpful for understanding the environment model of other languages.

Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective has a lot of good explanations of hardware/os subsystems that can be hard to find detailed explanations of elsewhere. I especially like the sections on virtual memory.
Rocket Lab–yep, Rocket Lab–has a plan to deliver satellites to the Moon
So it sounds like "leftist" is just a term you use for any democratic policy, not a subset? Like it's not just Sander's dems, its California which is not all that extreme (yet?)
But how easy would it be to defeat as an identification mechanism in public areas when used for widespread surveillance? That's the real aim of facial recognition for governments I think.
Yep, this. Each eye is ~1MP, but vibration increases spatial resolution.

Researchers are using this effect now with mobile camera sensors and can image on the 100 nm length scale using interpolation.
every startup i’ve been involved with that is compromised of mostly first-time employees (either little work experience in general or no previous startup experience) has exhibited similar tendencies:

1. emphasis on drinking: “gotta have happy hour/get a keg”

2. off-site team building exercises that eat into personal/family time

3. disparaging competition, especially incumbents, often based on superficial things like the dated look of their UI or branding

4. periodic episodes where potential investors or current board members are brought to the office and the staff is expected to all be on-site and “look productive”

for context, i’ve been in large enterprises and a number of startups. the startups where the core staff had been through the process before lacked what often gets pegged as the “brogrammer fratdev shop” vibe.

also, almost every shop that got a keggerator or pingpong table ended up using those items to store things...

> "Here's a large number of studies saying X" is meaningless in a topic where a very large number of studies have been done. What you need is systematic reviews of the literature that not only count studies, but evaluate their quality and combine their results.

It's an odd thing giving advice from the perch of mastery. Justin emphasizes

just as it is playing actual songs.

Masters fall into the trap of thinking well, what would I do to get better?
Because of their own preternatural talent and a 360 view of the

Parallel Nondeterministic Programming as a Language Extension to C
The thing is that there's really ton of evidence that non-ionizing radiation is not significantly harmful to humans at levels that don't cook you.

If you want to counter that you can't just pile up small studies that might be hinting at possibility that there might be some other effect.

You need a smoking gun. Single study, but bulletproof and large, showing strong effect. Everything else will be dismissed as "maybe, possibly, but most likely not really".

Did anyone get the $15,000 Startup School grant?
Did these go out? Did anyone get one?
It's a chicken and the egg problem. Both sides will use subterfuge and espionage against each other. They will counter with secret intelligence services or outright detainment camps and propaganda. One side won't give up when they can say that the other side is ready to exploit them.

It has gotten to the point where the Chinese view the Uighurs as potential proxy agents and so they heavily track and watch them and employ propaganda and reeducation camps against them.
Building a Multiplayer Online Game Server in Elixir (2015)
You can also analyze the plausibility of the arguments. Cell phones do not produce ionizing radiation.

This is similar to homeopathy. Even if the state of research is not great, we're discussing a theory that is just not physically plausible. The default assumption should be that it is wrong.
This is how it is in Germany at least. Yellow means "stop unless doing so would result in a dangerous situation", i.e. unless you'd have to brake hard in order to come to a full stop before crossing the line.
Yeah, this is the type of stuff that gets in the way. Also, I really like the fact that modern phones have great cameras.

None of this is impossible to get around though, I could get a small camera and there are alternatives to Google Auth.
I like that idea, it's just not that easy. How to do define module versions and inheritance, when you are not allowed to do global assignments in the module. declarations only, and no IO or global side effect is fine, but declaring versions and inheritance need to be allowed in global scope.

I added these ideas here: https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/406
I'm asking what he or you think the coalition that makes up the left is. Is it just a more derisive term for dems? Is it a subset of dems with specific policies? I'm asking for a definition of the term he and you are using. Not your critique of a group that I don't understand the definition of.
these kinds of shops offer non-competitive compensation, ensuring they are not interesting for those employed elsewhere.
I'm in a similar company, but the main issue is that almost all modern solutions store the data in the "cloud", which isn't acceptable in that situation. Either my company has a contract for that tool (not our level of decision), or we have to store the data in-house.

Very few tools are made for self-hosting or using mapped shared drives nowadays.
Habits, once formed, are hard to change.

That's all there is to it really. It's nothing to do with tech at all. One thing that irks me is how much tech thinks the world revolves around tech. It doesn't.
"Bismarck" is a class of healthcare systems, referring to employer/employee financed insurance-based healthcare. It is used in Germany, the Nederlands, and Switzerland I think. Other models are Beveridge (like the UK) and National Insurance like Canada.

The difference in payment between US and European health care workers isn't large enough to make much of a dent in US healthcare expenses. The big sources of costs is the US massive bureaucracy dealing with bills, insurance and negotiation, as well as the medical inefficiency and overprovision inherent in the system. Also high drug prices.

For example, a US medical doctor makes about 100 000 $ more than the European average, although a few countries pays doctors more. There are about 1 million doctors working in the US. So thats 100 billion. US overspending is about 1 500 - 1 800 billion.
Maybe AT&T's stunt with 5GE (fake 5g) is a necessary tactic to get regular people comfortable with 5g so when it actually comes out the mindset is along the lines of "I've had 5g for years and haven't dropped dead so these health claims must be FUD."
