> one of the biggest pain points I have seen is people not knowing where to place new pages

I have also seen this happen with every knowledge-base software I have ever used. A team’s knowledge-base (which represents a shared domain model) is evolving all the time, as people’s understanding of the domain evolves, and sometimes there is information that is valuable but doesn’t have an optimal home in the current domain model.

The only way I’ve seen it successfully managed is by having different standards for information structure depending on how well the information’s role is understood by the org.

You need dumping grounds where one can quickly jot down relevant information for later processing, and you need areas that present a more structured view of what you know to support decision-making, and a schedule for consolidating and structuring the unstructured knowledge. This creates far less pressure to put everything in the right place at first.

I think of it like a write-ahead log, or like how food is dumped into the stomach before the individual nutrients are extracted and delivered to various destinations around the body - you don’t deliver each nutrient molecule to its destination before eating another.
It should be clear by this point that we aren’t really capable of ramping up production fast enough for many of the resources needed during a pandemic. Whether one attributed that to ignorance, incompetence, malice, or conspiracy doesn’t really matter; at the end of the day, the improvements we demand aren’t happening as fast as we’d like.

Granted, C is pretty awful too. My personal favorite option remains "better language". Forth-likes are an under-utilized source of inspiration for sure, but I don't think we should be satisfied with stack-twiddling any more than with C strings.

As someone who was involved in the evolution of HL7 from the policy/medical side, I can tell you:

EMR systems lock us (healthcare systems) into proprietary formats to make migration to new clients difficult; likewise, we don’t (didn’t) push for interoperability because exporting data to other healthcare systems cost us more than it benefited us (we didn’t fight it, we just weren’t gonna spend our money to make it happen).

HL7 and other interoperability tech only emerged because CMS reps made their way to -a lot- of conferences and, with varying levels of bluntness, said “find a way to improve interoperability on your own, or you’ll see it show up in federal regs 12 months from now.”

This is a change that came from active regulators doing their jobs correctly, in spite of the active efforts of the tech industry and the indifference of the hospital industry.

So, I rarely say this but, thank you CMS.
The author was talking about the marginal cost of Salesforce running their instance. If they stopped being a customer, it would save Salesforce $100 in server costs, but Salesforce would lose $10k’s. That means, Salesforce needs to deliver that much value to the customer in order to keep them. In addition, they need to deliver that much value over any lower cost competitors.

> Banks generally don't extend HELOCs beyond a borrower's equity in the house, which is the fractional value of the house the borrower truly owns.

For a house worth $1MM in February and a first mortgage loan balance of $700K, it sure looks like the borrower has $300K in equity in the house.

If the economy, job market, and housing market evolve such that the house becomes worth $600K a year from now, how much equity does the borrower have at that point?
A truth worth repeating!
This is a frequently-asked Ask HN. Maybe you'll find something here:

Hmm, pulling from past experience from the fast-food industry... I never saw our commercial dishwasher[0] break down in year after year of service. It really seemed like a simple, reliable machine to me. The kind of thing I'd be shocked if I couldn't disassemble, understand and repair myself if necessary. (Okay, it was old, and a bit crotchety; there was some component which regularly acted up. However, it was simple enough to "fix" it and move along, so we never really minded). However, alright, lets say that maintenance is a major issue, and so renting is financially attractive. I defer to your experience in this arena.

> With linen, when you go through a big volume, it is infinitely easier to use a linen company than to do it yourself on site. You’d have to buy industrial washers, pay rent on space to keep them, know how to service them, pay staff to operate them, etc...

How much volume could a small restaurant like this need for cleaning towels? More than a McDonald's doing top sales in the state? They get by just fine on a single washing unit[1]. Dump the dirty towel buckets in the washer, add detergent, run. When it's clean, distribute them into buckets of sanitizer so they're ready to use. Takes a few minutes, that's it; usually you'd do it during downtime. It's been too many years to remember now, but that machine was probably run a few times a day (maybe once every 4-6 hours). The process was very streamlined and efficient, and I can't imagine what involving a third party would bring to the table (perhaps if there was legitimately not floor space for a single washing unit in your building?).

I guess if it's common, it's common. I must not understand the business constraints involved, or maybe it's prevalent in certain areas and not in others. The U.S. is a very large and varied place, after all, to say nothing of the rest of the world. I'll have to ask my friend what her family restaurant does for a small-scale perspective.

I do, and you should too. These things are not difficult to learn. Moreover they are good full body workouts and, speaking from experience with my father, can be excellent bonding experiences.

But that's beside the point. You're relying far too much on others if you've lost the ability to spend 5-20 minutes reading one chapter in a children's textbook for a chance to educate and bond with your child.

If you can learn a new programming language or framework without someone holding your hand, you can do this basic stuff. I think people either underestimate themselves or they're willing to go to great lengths to justify their laziness.
There's also several parts of the article that talk about short sellers. You're being obtuse
If we're going to play that game, then "real time" may never have come to refer to the hard system guarantees as you think of them.

The earliest computers didn't even include an operating system, never mind one with real time guarantees as we think of them today. You submitted your program on paper tape (later, punch card.) and hours later, you'd get the output. This was the batch computing era. The idea of getting a (soft) real time response from the computer (which was the size of a room), was unheard of.

As computers evolved, real time systems came to refer to computers that operated on the opposite of batch computing. The user could interact with the system in "real time", rather than having to wait hours after submitting the job for the results.

Later on came the distinction between systems with hard real time (vs soft) guarantees. Computers didn't have the same CPU speed that we have access to today, so even audio processing required special real time guarantees.

Eventually, "hard real time" was shortened to "real time", which takes us to today.

Systems which have existed since the dawn of computing such as banks back in the 50's, or the IRS, still hold onto the batch vs real time nomenclature, possibly because batch processing systems still exist. Banks still process records nightly in batches, some even still run on newer versions of the same IBM mainframes, though some are starting to move to "soft" real time systems. (If you ever wondered why it can takes days for a check or bank wire transfer to clear, this is why.)
There's a real Dunning-Kruger problem with "power users," where some people know just enough to get themselves into trouble. And I think these D-K power users outnumber the "real" ones.
Updates are cumulative now to avoid such issues. Prior to this, the updating choices were geared towards regular users, so that such a case wasn't really counted...
Hard to beat in terms of effort vs. quality of the outcome is more accurately what I meant (it’s two lines of code in scikit-learn [CountVectorizer() + TruncatedSVD()] to go from raw text to document/word embeddings, and the result is often “good enough” depending on what you’re trying to do). See the results on pg. 6 (note LSI==LSA): http://proceedings.mlr.press/v37/kusnerb15.pdf

Also, at least based on papers I’ve read recently, BERT doesn’t work that well for producing word embeddings compared to word2vec and GloVe (which can be formulated as matrix factorization methods, like LSA). See table on pg. 6: https://papers.nips.cc/paper/9031-spherical-text-embedding.p...

Point being: mastering the old models gives you a solid foundation to build from.
I can definitely sympathize, but anytime you take on a new project like this for the first time you're bound to at least make some stupid mistakes. I'll be following the project closely, hopefully you manage to overcome all the difficulties!

Your comment just made feel really old. It took me a second to come to realize why you'd think that might be incorrect syntax. I had to read it 3 or 4 times to finally figure out why you thought there'd be a problem (there isn't one... if it's twenty years ago).
IANAL, but there’s no way that isn’t going to be contested. That’s not to say it can’t happen, but I have a hard time believing it could happen within a relevant timeframe.

* Southern California Edison has signed seven contracts for a combined 770 megawatts of battery energy storage projects, one of the biggest single procurements of its kind. The utility also wants to turn them on by August 2021, which would be a record-fast turnaround for projects of that magnitude.

* SCE's single 770-megawatt procurement "tops the entire 2019 US storage market by more than 200 megawatts," said Daniel Finn-Foley, head of energy storage for Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. The consultancy expects the U.S. storage market to grow by more than 7 times from 2019 to 2021.

* "The storage market is approaching a deployment acceleration over the next two years that will be unprecedented in recent U.S. electricity history," Finn-Foley said.

I don't agree. If you ramp up production and millions get vaccinated with the expectation that it will protect them then it doesn't there will be tremendous antipathy and distrust of medical science as a result.
He wants a player to be given to him as part of the package. Which is nice. I think the most efficient market would incentivize a holistic package where you pay for someone to make the hard decisions for you while letting the experts take the core content and use it however they like.
I want to believe you are right. I have no experience in app development but before committing with Flutter, this is a big concern for me. If you take the app say, Tinder, I believe it has consistent design elements between IOS and Android except for a few pages like settings.

While these are not "software-specific" business books, I would say it's more important to spend time mastering the fundamentals[1] of business, which is the skill of finding people who want to pay for what you have. Everything else like management[2], operations[3], and marketing[4] can come secondary. This may sound cliché only because real business skills are boring, the same way "To get healthy, diet and exercise" sounds boring.

This is the comment that was in my thoughts and I failed to write it.

I really hope they 1. Open source it 2. continue to work on this throughout the crisis and get it to a state where its actually suitable for critical care, and then 3. Work on achieving the relevant certification.

It sounds (just guessing) like the device vendor sells their own software separately, and is unwilling to budge on price during this time, forcing an already stretched hospital to look for new solutions.

The kernel code for reading zstd squashfs image has been merged for some time. But zstd is only a recently supported algorithm in upstream squashfs tools for creating the squashfs image.

In my testing with OS installs that depend on squashfs+xz, there is a significant lzma hit for decompression, resulting in significant latencies. And the higher the compression level used, the more the hit when decompressing. While compression computational hit for zstd is in the same ballpark as xz to achieve the same compression ratio, (a) decompression computational cost is far less with zstd, translating into faster reads; (b) is fairly consistent regardless of compression level.

Another factor for squashfs is the block size. The bigger it is, the better the compression ratio, but the greater the read amplification. I haven't looked at it, but it might be they're overoptimized for space reduction with too little consideration for performance. Since this isn't a one time use image, like for an installation, but intended to be read over and over again, erofs might be an alternative worth benchmarking.

>Is that right?

Sort of. You don't _have_ to enable storage etc in your app. Being a 'node' can be independent of running an app. And your app can just store things on the network without having to worry about making a user share their space (and do onboarding to the network etc).

> If so, what happens to other people's data when I turn off my machine? What happens to my data when other people turn off their machines, or are otherwise unavailable?

If you turn off your storage, you stop earning money. The network ensures there are X (currently 8, I believe) copies of each piece of data available at any one time, so data on the network would be replicated to make up for whatever went missing as you (or anyone) turn off a node.

> I don't understand what problem this is solving

The problem of centralisation and data hoarding. Facebook. Google. Being de-facto forced into giving up your data as a user.

It aims to decentralise this, and (hopefully) will make it easier for users to remain in control of their data, without the need for massive server farms etc. By using spare space on user's devices.

The crypto currency is an incentivisation layer. (you are rewarded for participation in storage / serving data etc).

I'd recommend reading the primer (https://primer.safenetwork.org/) to get into the details of how this will work.

Wow, that was cool. My first exposure to programing was also logo, back in the 80s, back in eastern europe. It was in the form of an afterschool program my father found out about. I loved it. Then when first dabbling in basic my first instinct was to try to draw with it. I think theres something inherently good about computer drawing that attracts kids to computers at early ages, before they are capable of developing interest for abstract ideas and problem solving.

For older kids who want to learn programming I definitely recommend starting with Racket. It comes with cool libraries and small games can be built very creatively. Plus a lot more.
One interesting thing about being freelance during times of economic instability is that the "steadiness" metric is inverted when you have multiple sources of income compared to relying on one company.
Sorry, I was totally unclear. Either you differentiate, or you can expect to be paid like unskilled labor (which is what undifferentiated cooking results for sale pays), which is always very close to zero (thanks to the iron law of wages).

Simply expecting people to pay more for what amounts to an undifferentiated near-commodity product is a pipe dream so long as anyone out of work can be taught to work a grill in a couple days.
A rule I gave myself after running a company for several years is that I never reply to incoming offers or sales pitches. In my opinion it’s very rare that someone really offers something that my company needs at that exact moment, so most interactions resulting from such offers will be a waste of my time. In the past I reacted to such incoming offers, but I always regretted it and usually burned some money and time as well. Now they only way I pick suppliers is by sourcing them myself exactly when I need something.

I think many executives / entrepreneurs have developed a similar adversity towards incoming offers, and my own experience with cold outbound selling seems to confirm this. I’ve contacted hundreds of companies myself trying to sell our service, but the only deals we closed so far were either with companies we already knew via our network or ones that did actively seek out our services themselves. It’s of course possible that an experienced sales person would be able to generate outbound interest, but as a founder without much sales experience it is very tough.
I therefore think inbound sales is the future, at least in B2B.
The update loop on Windows 7 is more an artifact of the traditional Windows servicing model where updates aren’t cumulative and only periodically were cumulative bundles released, as well as service packs incorporating prior hotfixes as well.

The Windows 10 servicing model doesn’t have that problem, a new cumulative update gets pushed out every month and can get a machine to the latest update for that branch regardless of how long it’s been out of contact with Windows Update. The semi-annual branches can also be directly upgraded to from any prior branch, as they are essentially a full upgrade of Windows just like moving between releases of Ubuntu/Fedora/etc.
My first experience with systemd was when they implemented a default that would kill processes when a user logs off. This may be acceptable in some single-user desktop environments, but it is absolutely unacceptable in any server environment. If I am using tmux, emacs --daemon, nohup, or any other custom program that catches SIGHUP, then it is inexcusable for systemd to escalate to sending SIGKILL.

I know that there is a separate command that can be used to tell systemd to allow a program to live. I know that there are systemd libraries that an executable can link against in order to opt out of the new behavior. These do not matter, because they shows that systemd is willing to break existing programs, and to break specified conventions. Systemd developers cannot be trusted to provide a foundation to build upon.

I know that this default setting can be overridden at the distribution level, or at the system level. This doesn't matter, because it shows that systemd developers do not know how to choose appropriate defaults, and that any changes that are made in systemd need to be continually monitored for stupidity.

Maybe this is just me being soured by a very poor first impression of systemd, but I haven't seen anything since to dissuade me from this impression.

I'm using notion for personal stuff and have found this line too. Personally it's still the best note taking basic + kanban board. I use github issues with zenhub for code stuff and notion for everything else. I have a global tags database in notion and then I use a global recursive self referencing tasks table so I can link thing globally easily and then just create views when I need to. I think you can get lost but overall it's nice having one source of truth with different views.

I think the product lacks maturity. I think the notifications are garbage, and the inability to hide / emphasis / format the data for a specific form or view is lacking. I think they tried and failed with templates. They need a form builder and more view windows present in places like the properties list.

In my experience regardless of the flexibility of the tool, somebody will want to waste time building out the tool from that 80% to 100% use case when they should have just been happy with the 80%.
