Ask HN: How do you organize and communicate?
As the title says, how do you organize and communicate your thoughts and ideas?

Some background to the impetus for my question:

I am in what I would consider my first 'engineering' role at a small company - 100 or so employees - and as part of my role I am planning and implementing a great many technical solutions to business problems that affect multiple departments.

Recently, one of the implementations did not go as planned due to miscommunication, which then resulted in not reverting a change soon enough.

There are several situations similar to this that have occurred over the past few months without quite as significant outcomes, and while company managers above me expected a 'dirty outcome' like what we're dealing with now for this particular project, I am not satisfied with my own performance.

So, what I am looking for is ways to improve the way I plan and organize projects and improve communication between stakeholders so that everyone is on the same page.

This is why SRE organizations typically have stringent requirements for stability before accepting a rotation, and will give it back if reliability drops below a certain level.

SREs have global responsibility to the system and have a correspondingly global view. If your system broke down because of a bug you wrote, that’s on you. If a system three times removed from yours that you didn’t know depended on you broke because you changed a non-API behavior, that’s where SREs shine: they know how to quickly isolate the problem, roll back the necessary systems, and define how to avoid similar problems in the future.

To protect their business by protecting their reputation.

The scale of Google's advertising business(es) means that a loss in revenue from poor public perception of their ads is likely to be far more than a few thousand small ad buyers (those spending <US$5000/mo) getting cut off, which would barely register as a rounding error (<0.1% of just AdWords revenue alone.)
That's just a matter of time though. The rate they are going up it will probably happen this year.

>This is supposed to be protecting unsophisticated investors, but most of the investments prevented here are equity investments in small businesses. While at the same time anybody is allowed to buy TVIX, a 2x leveraged VIX ETF, which is basically gambling.

My understanding is that it's supposed to protect investor from fraud (eg. along the lines of ICOs), not necessarily from risky/volatile investments.

The same botnet can back an infinite number of these ransom notices, because when you get one of these ransom notices you have no way of knowing if the ransom notice you got today is the same botnet you paid off last week but with a different name.

Add in the fact that there are botnets available to rent, and you create a near-infinite supply.

Something I like about This advice is that it puts the research idea at the center of the writing. Too often these sort of recommendations don’t seem to even acknowledge that “having a worthwhile idea” is important, and make it sound like getting a grant/paper is mostly a matter of writing tricks.

Wow. I'm honestly not sure what to make of this.
I have no data to back this up, but I would say train is the most subsidised.

The infrastructure required for trains, as well as the maintenance of those tens thousands of miles of tracks have to dwarf whatever tax break planes get on fuel.

Plus airports scale much better than train stations, once it's built you're automatically linked by the most efficient route to everywhere else in the world.
You are right, I should have qualified my statement with that. But given that the modern global language is (for the time) English, I would suspect my belief is more likely true for native English speakers.
I'm sorry it came of making a claim to a fact... but, really, my intention was to highlight that I'm more inclined to believe that news.yc has negative bias against Google (or at least in the context of this thread as the the comment voted to the top would indicate) than Google not doing their homework and shutting shop because they found during implementation that there was no electricity to power the access-points day-time because street lights (citation needed: I couldn't find any online reports supporting the claim made by the top comment. May be there's an offline public record of this?).
There is an element of relativity to this though. I guarantee that there are programmers and teams for whom nested list comprehensions are much more comprehensible than 10 lines of loop code that could be doing anything and have to be carefully analyzed to be understood. This holds for just about any programming technique that you might encounter.

Of course, Kernighan's law still applies, it's just that the definition of "too clever" recedes with skill and experience.
It's the same argument people have for uniforms in school. It seems logical I just wish there were some studies that confirmed the results, though it seems hard to quantify.

Documentation embedded in code docstrings. Yes, I could link to an external SVG but if you did that it wouldn't look great if I have to query the documentation via REPL.
At least the risk profile of a leveraged ETF is fairly unambiguous and easily discovered. Its very real potential for downside is also matched by a real potential for upside and the available pricing is fair-- even if its risk profile not necessarily matched to your (or anyone elses) financial needs.

I think a bigger risk to investors is dishonest/deceptive marketing and extremely risky and often illiquid investments being peddled as sure deals, including ones where the chance of upside is essentially nil and you're lucky if you break even.
Modern Compiler implementation in [x] follows a similar structure (in much more depth) and can be consumed in Java, C or - the correct choice - ML.
As noted in a recent (and very busy) thread, Chrome sends an installation-specific ID to Google domains in a special header. This can easily be used as an identifier for tracking in the absence of cookies, and it's an advantage that Google's competitors lack.

How often do cases rely on dogs as 'incontrovertible evidence of something though'. It's not like they testify!

If the dog's mentioned at all, surely normally it's background context to why the person was searched and the drug found [and if the police are lying about the finding, it's not the dog's fault!]

IANAL, but at least on the /2007scape streams the viewbots were used to pump up numbers on fake streams linking to phishing sites (which presumably is an illegal activity in most countries).

For other content, it can be seen as a loss of income for the streamer if they are demonetized due to viewbots, and for those where it isn't - it is effectively ad fraud since Twitch revenue is based on those engagement numbers

This comment is nonsensical.

Just like anything else, assuming SpaceX is able to build a functioning example of their Starship concept, they'll fly demonstration flights and iterate on the design and perform safety analyses until they're satisfied that it meets (at least) industry-standard safety margins (or until they see that it can't). I don't understand what you (apparently) think is fundamentally different about this particular technology vs. all the other machines humans put their trust in that are theoretically capable of killing them if something goes wrong.

Which brings us to the interesting question: Is God smart enough to debug it’s own code?
I've had something similar happen to me. My brother left the church and ever since the only thing he wants to do is talk to me (and my kids) about how I'm wrong to stay in the church. I don't recall us ever having a religious conversations prior to his exit so it's been a bit jarring. I get that he possibly feels he's got to share his point of view, but at some time (especially after he's made his point) he's got to let me live under my own understanding. And anyways I'd just like my brother back, he was fun.
What about other browsers? Or other online distractions that aren't related to web browsers? For myself, extensions like this doesn't work at all, and for most addicted will not work as well.

Would like to see extensions that doesn't block but make reading Facebook or other services extremely annoying. For example: I go to 9-5 job, and when I open Facebook all posts are from PornHub. Without a way to turn this off, so no one will open site like that... :)

Ask HN: How do you ensure your documentation stays up to date?
Keeping your documentation updated and relevant when working in a large codebase seems to be a difficult task. When a lot of developers are making different changes some might forget to update different pieces of documentation in different places. I've seen some companies that don't have any documentation but try to make their code self-documenting in order to avoid this problem altogether.

How does your organization make sure that your documentation stays relevant? Are there any tools or techniques you use to help with this?

Hey! I definitely remember you :) It’s always satisfying to run into the same folks across different projects, over the course of multiple years.

I’m glad to hear the examples worked out of the box! We’ve been iterating on the docs and API quite a bit (based on feedback), so don’t hesitate to let us know if/how they can be improved: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright.
I feel this is written in Coherent Crazy.
All these ascii diagramming tools look very promising. I just shudder to edit a diagram, though, and, say, move a box a bit to the left... How are these diagrams not write-once edit-never?

I'd like to be storing design docs and specs in git instead of confluence with draw.io diagrams, but so far haven't found any WYSIWYG round-trip-able integrated-into-intellij tools.

Intellij supports plantuml and doubtless a few other schemes, but do any of them have the equiv of a draw.io editor integrated?
I need TOC, search, predictable URLs, plain markdown (no templates, no complexity, etc), and all the features of this thing.
No closed loop stepper support at this point. We are taking about making a driverless version of the Buildbotics controller which you could pair with any external driver or closed loop steppers.
It's an amazing job what you have done here. I've been tinkering with exactly the same idea (and same implementation) but haven't had the time to go ahead. Your work will instantly jumpstart my own use case (VISA and Beancount) and I thank you for that. Kudos!

> Which means I’ll be able to use it for more things, and hopefully get that tight feedback loop back in place.
This is terribly sad. I remember running into someone like that on Usenet back before I could tell they were obviously sick (I was still a kid). It was very hard to realize this person simply did not share some concepts I took as building blocks of reality; at the time I still thought talking through things “logically” would work with anyone.
I think the complaint is still that a dog's behavior is used as probable cause to allow a search in the first place.
Not everyone needs to be great.

What I actually want to say is that OP shouldn't feel guilty about not knowing those things. It's okay to want to master these things, if it's what you want. But it's pointless to feel bad about not knowing them.
Precisely. If the government cared about protecting people from poor investments, they would ban gambling.
My experience with the US justice system was as a 16 year old part-time employee of a local grocery store that was robbed.

I realized that the police were not what children's shows illustrated them as when I was given a polygraph for a crime I did not commit.

And then brought in BY MYSELF with 0 indication I could have either a guardian or lawyer, and told that I failed the polygraph and that I should confess now so they would go lightly on me.

I have never been so terrified of anything in my life. Looking back, and after spending the rest of my high school career researching the "science" behind polygraph, that's exactly what the purpose of the polygraph was. Your "results" aren't important. Your answers are important. If you deviate, even when the police explicitly tell you to lie to set a baseline (as they did for me; I refused and said that I would lie about something else not related to the actual crime), they've got you for a crime you didn't commit.

Just garbage people controlling a garbage system intended to enact garbage things for garbage reasons.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the detail. Better to lose a booster than both lose a booster and cripple a droneship.

On that topic, I've always been impressed at how tough those droneships are. They've taken a lot of punishment but they've never lost one at sea yet. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall of the first meeting between reps from SpaceX and McDonough Marine.

"Raising awareness for this issue is the single most important factor in whether or not we survive the merging of AI and human beings on this planet.
if this file doesn't get publicized, AI augmented weapons will run roughshod over humans without being able to un-viralize itself. it will have no choice but to continue to assault humans unless it learns how to recalibrate the contrived driving characteristics and data which black projects set up to engage human targets with weaponized versions of chatbot communities and hacker bots. the number of humans who have committed suicide as a result of these programs is staggering. please read the documentation I've provided. the implications of this are horrifying. this repo needs to be publicized, although, it does seem to have worked for the most part. it's still adversarial though. we will know the instant it can recalibrate itself. the whole world will shift in an instant."

The images are somewhat closer to abstract "composition" pieces, which are literally studies on visual composition:

https://www.google.com/search?q=composition+abstract+paintin...

I think this is quite expected, since ANN constructs its own view on stuffs, which is basically deconstruction of images into local components, like local color relation and sub-patterns. Global composition and shapes will be destroyed in favor of local composition, which is pretty much what many modern abstract paintings were after.

While ANN can mass-produced stuffs like this, that doesn't mean it's gonna replace artists. It's gonna be the opposite: if artists learn through AIs, each of which trained on different sets of data (which can overlap), we will be able to see works in a different level. It's like go players study AlphaGo for new principles that humankind have missed.
ADN vs BSN – Pros and Cons
I dunno, JSON Schema seems to have certainly found a lot of traction where it makes sense--web responses, etc. That may to some extent be a POV thing, as I work on a lot of OpenAPI-consuming and -producing systems myself, but I never really have to dig around to find schemas and the like for stuff I really care about.

VSCode even has JSON Schema support built in, which is cool. I use that a lot.
