That actually sounds as a pretty straightforward, self-explanatory request. I don't see where the confusion arises.
Ask HN: How to get better at taking notes?
I've tried so many different tools, both digital and the good old pen and paper. A new note taking app comes out and I'll try it for a few days and then get lost. Same for paper notes. I scribble during the first few meetings but never follow up.

What are your strategies on taking good notes without missing the actual conversation or meeting?

How do you make sure you consistently keep track of notes?

And also how can I improve following up on notes and using them as a base for next meetings and decisions?
Yes. I think the idea is once you have a predictive model, is to go thru computationally hard process of facrtorization - identifying inputs that if removed don’t affect predictability that much. Rinse and repeat until you have an explainable model.

Imho you won’t alwsys get an explainable model, because some times there may be too many factors that are predictive, but the effort is what’s important.
What are the examples of companies acquired by Netflix? They are big, but surely not bigger than Intel or Version or someone like that.
Happened to a company I started working at. Long story short, I joined as an engineer when one 15 year old based company that was clearly still running like it was 1995 bought a lean tech startup with smart/focus people and proceeded to impose its really inefficient, old culture onto the newly acquired folk. Lots of clash, tons of shit talking, and people leaving left and right. The giant company ended up selling for basically nothing to another company because leadership had no direction and it was all a huge failure. A giant waste of a year of my life. Culture clash is very real, and it'd be interesting to study to figure out how potentially bad acquisitions/mergers can be predicted from other angles besides economic growth or "owning a larger portion of the market"
That's interesting, and seems sad. Where I live there's an entire program for spaces for men to try to address a mental health and suicide epidemic among (mostly older) rural men.

That’s revenue - not profit.

Very true. Of course, passenger aviation is really pretty similar... you're inside a pressurized metal tube (with relatively small factors of safety) surrounded by explosive chemicals traveling nearly the speed of sound (absurd by ordinary standards), yet it's far safer than any mode of transport, even per hour. Engineering is pretty crazy. If there's strong enough incentive to make an activity absurdly safe, we can do so, even if the performance requirements are also very stringent.
The linked article is literally about why your reasoning doesn't pan out.

Revenue is not profit. If you search around, analysts mostly suspect YouTube is either not profitable or only slightly profitable.
Unfortunately git does not handle binary files elegantly (unless you use git-lfs). You can inflate storage rapidly by, say, editing a 10M zip file a few times. I've had to GC more than one repo where someone accidentally added an innocuous binary file, and the next thing you know the repo has exceeded 2G of storage space.

Sure we can, but I don't think it's very productive to start arguing that society doesn't care about men's issues. I don't immediately see what society has to do with the lower life expectancy:

Libraries weren’t maintained or in a state of development for months without regular commits. Statements like “sometimes this doesn’t work” or commits that totally redesigned an api. Meaning you have to rewrite your code.

I need stability and some maturity in personal projects due to time constraints. Not a jab at Rust, I’m still in wait and watch mode. Looking to learn a low level language in the next year and Rust is my top choice.

I hate to be a cold hard capitalist. But how has improving Google Maps helped its profitability? Would a competitor have taken market share away from Google Maps if they hadn’t acquired Waze? But more importantly, would it have decreased as revenue?
It's true that most ethical situations are not black and white.

When an organization is doing some good things, and some bad things, is the best course of action to prevent the organization from doing both good and bad things? In the case of ICE, would it not be more effective to pursue a strategy of more targeted reforms that address the unethical immigration enforcement actions without stopping the other divisions pursuing investigations into human rights violations and child exploitation cases?

My concern here is that empathy for children being negatively impacted by immigration policies, while valid, doesn't imply we should act out indiscriminately against the entire ICE organization. Balancing the needs of victims of bad immigration policies against the needs of victims of criminal activity shouldn't be a zero-sum game, and making gains for one group shouldn't come at the expense of the other.
Doing art (or anything else) as a profession certainly has those risks, but art as an activity in general does not have any significant excess risks associated with it. (I would not consider "getting engulfed" as an excess risk since that can happen with anything.)

You may be right that there is some truth to what the top poster said. I did not mean to imply I thought it was absolutely and categorically untrue. I just think it's broadly untrue. "Things that are unrisky are unfun" is a not a generally true statement, for most people. It could certainly be true for some people. But, I suspect most people who say such things are rationalizing their choice of activity, exactly as the linked article suggests.

SVN is easy, Git is simple.

Getting started with SVN is very quick, but once you need to peek under the hood, you'll find out it's super complicated inside.

Git is just the other way around: the interface is a mess, but the internals are simple and beautiful. Once you understand four concepts (blobs, trees, commits, refs), the rest falls into place.

I'm going to argue that, while the .NET environment may be unfamiliar, it's as good (if not better!) than the NodeJS environment for "getting stuff done." You may have fewer libraries (depending on what you're looking for), but with .NET Standard 2, you need fewer of them. The standard library has support for everything from Memory Mapped Files [0], to Parallel loops [1], every collection type under the sun [2], globalisation [3], and HTTP applications [4].

Memory management is just as automatic as well (they seem to just be using the mono runtime).

Scientific Pitch
There are significant differences between psychedelics and anti-depressants, both mechanically and when it involves long-term treatment planning and monetization.

Although research is quite limited due to regulatory constraints, John Hopkins has particularly interesting research on the subject (https://hopkinspsychedelic.org), with ongoing trials.

I think you're right about the shamanic ideal - at its current state, this doesn't seem to be the kind of treatment you can scale through the form of a pill.

It'd be pretty shocking if they don't start with Fitbit OS, tbh. Its a much larger community.
> They often include Waze reported events in Google Maps now.

I hadn’t seen that, so then yeah I agree it is improved.
Not the inventors of solid-state transistors in 1947? 100 years is a long time and solid state transistors was the last piece of basic research needed for the digital age to begin.
Oh, you mean like Firefox Sync?

Which was self-hostable.. Promised to be that once again, but still hasn't been opened up again.
An interesting idea but the reason investors + creditors can get these is because they have leverage and can negotiate for them. They are not always able to secure them. Consumers currently have no such leverage. The best avenue to this kind of leverage is probably legal?
Actually there is a ton of money in the health sector going digital. The more niche are virtual trials and compliance, but it represents 200 billions to pharma and government in the US alone. The more advertisement-related opportunities would be the one you can sell to drug stores and insurance companies. While Google maybe the king of ads, and would benefit from knowing what happens to you when you shop at target online vs in-store, Alphabet is involved in so many health, personalized, and direct-to-consummer related projects, that you don't even have to be creative to think about how they can use it.
Well, I won't be buying a fitbit ever again. The one I have now will go into goodwill pile.
Would notch be an example of this? Minecraft being what it is? I suppose it's too early to tell if he'll create any other software that compares but it seems at the moment that you could predict not.
I work six days a week. I leave my house at 7am return home around 7pm, pretty much have time to make dinner and chill for an hour so then go to bed and do it again. I haven't really been out and done anything for a few years now. My body is in pain constantly, I'm always exhausted but my sleep is always poor. I don't remember what it's like to not feel burnt out. It's been like this pretty much since I was in my early twenties and I'm in my thirties now and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of this stopping any time soon.
>would appreciate any feedback

Any option for a firefox build?
Fitness trackers provides tons of information, but probably the most valuable part of that information is that it's real time. It can tell google information about your routine even when you don't have your phone on you (wake up and leave your phone on the nightstand while you get around? Now Google knows you're not asleep.)

I haven't had a Fitbit in years, so I'm sure some have GPS, which would increase the footprint of GPS tracking for runners that don't run with their phone (even if that not many), then you're getting ads about healthy food options near the start/stop point of your trail.

It could tell Google if you've been having trouble sleeping, then you're getting sleep aid or sleep study or high end mattress ads. I'm sure the fitbit can detect certain workout routines based on physical movement, and can cater ads to users based on whether they're weight trainers or endurance trainers as well as skill level.

I think there is a ton of high value information that can be gathered from a Fitbit for Google.
They're obviously buying them for the data. It's the new gold.

That is a good observation. The author might also need flexible search options at work. In any case, I have some interest in Rust but don’t actively use it. I found reading through the main server.rs file interesting as example code.
>I've been getting supplementation

Can you expand on this. Is this something like melatonin to help reset your circadian rhythm for sleep? Or supplements to jump start your pituitary gland?

I guess am curious is the pituitary shut down was caused by the lack of sleep, and getting the good sleep will reactivate the gland, or if the gland is an issue you are addressing with the supplements directly.
That's the cheapest you've heard of? Have you heard of carbon pricing?
https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/bxgd5p/single_mo...

Carbon pricing sounds like a cheaper and a more direct solution addressing the cause of the problem (more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere) instead of its effect (temperature rise). What could go wrong?

git checkout <reference> [<files>]

so, that says, copy all of the files out of the current branch at the current commit into the local dir. What this will do in practice is "discard current changes to tracked files". So If i had files foo, bar, baz, and I had made edits to two of them, and I just want to undo those changes, that's what checking out * from HEAD does. It doesn't however delete new files you have created. So it doesn't make the state exactly the same.

So why not just git checkout HEAD? Well, you already have HEAD checked out (you are on that branch), so there's nothing for git to do. You want to specify that you want to _also_ explicitly copy the tracked file objects out also. It's kind of like saying "give me a fresh copy of the tracked files".

The confusing thing is that in practice it is "reverting" the changes that were made to the tracked files. But `git revert` is the command you use to apply the inverse of a commit (undo a commit). One of the more confusing aspects of git is that many of the commands operate on "commits" as objects (the change set itself), and some other commands operate on files. But it's not obvious which is which.
If cdnjs was an enterprise offering it would be reasonable to expect either a notification of removal and a generous transition period, or just cdnjs disinfecting the package behind the scenes (and then boasting about it).

But expecting the same from a free service is unreasonable. Stalking people and asking for damages because they didn't meet an unreasonable expectation is beyond unreasonable.
No not yet. And it hasn't been requested all that much but UPM works on OS X and I'm sure it's straightforward to make it work on Windows.

>. Included in this move are DVDs and Apple products, which now require similar approval processes to move forward.

This is incorrect. You can get approval in DVDs pretty easily if you have invoices from a distributor. It's effectively impossible to get approval for Apple unless you're one of a dozen or so authorized sellers that spends 8-9 figures with Apple yearly. (The official requirements to get approval for refurbished Apple on Amazon is 2.5 million in invoices over 90 days).

It's not clear how the approval process for Nintendo will work, but if this is like most brands, all you'll need is invoices from a distributor. Many brands have this kind of restriction. It's nothing at all like the Apple deal, for which you can't get approval just with invoices, and for which there was a special announcement from Amazon; the Nintendo email isn't special, it's standard (google phrases from it and you'll find many other brands with similar emails from Amazon). E.g. https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/marvel-warning/407..., https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/dc-comic-restricti...

Also, the email makes no mention of used vs new. All Nintendo are now restricted regardless of condition.

Also, this is seller-specific. Many sellers can still sell; most likely Amazon targeted this towards the sellers their algo determined were more suspicious for whatever reason. See e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07VGRJDFY/ref=olp_f...

Résumé/CV: https://pepware.io/Resume.pdf

Email: jobs@pepware.io

I am a full-stack developer with a strong background in building great software, back-to-front. I got my start building production mobile apps, web apps, and backend software when I was the sole developer at HungerPerks.

I am the kind of developer who gets things done. I am able to enter a situation, understand the core business & product goals, translate that into a software specification, rapidly self-educate and fill in any knowledge gaps, build, test, and automatically deploy useful software.

I have a prototypical background. I started programming at 15 and started a software company with my friends in college. We raised venture funding, and I built 2 mobile apps, a web app, and automated deployment infrastructure (knowing none of those things beforehand) by myself in 6 months flat. I communicated the development implications of business decisions with founders and stakeholders, supported customers, and rapidly iterated. The company failed to validate, so we moved on.

I learned a lot, and since then I've been building great mobile apps as a freelancer, but I'm ready for my next challenge. I'm looking for a team that is working on something cool and is looking to add a remote mobile, web, or backend developer (or all of the above!).

I also blog and help people finish their programming side projects at http://WeeklyProject.Club/
