As noted above, I don't generally use those terms.

The fact that you don't generally use those terms doesn't change the fact that you used the terms in your parent comment above.

I don't think you have any right whatsoever to "request" that I behave in accordance with your wishes while leveling BS accusations in an uncharitable reading of my comment

You are right, it isn't the most charitable way to interpret your comment, but there are some speech patterns that tend to cause division and flamewar, if not now then later. They tend to attack or denegrate identity groups of some kind. The phrasing I keep point out is harmful because it attacks such identity groups and is damaging to the community in my opinion. That is why I keep bringing up those portions of your argument. I understand if you want to disengage, and I hope you sleep well.
Both, its 2020 wikipedia should have had a WYSIWYG editor a long time ago. They keep making excuses why this can't/should't be the case, so I want to migrate over the content to a new system.
That really depends. Many many people live in world cities where public transport is cramped and people from all over the world come and go in a constant stream.
Inter-regional spread is a major factor. Subways, busses, and taxis largely move people around within an existing interchange are -- metropolitan regions. Aircraft move them across and between continents.

In 2003, James Burke revisited his 1978 series "Connections" in a 1-hour interview session, "ReConnections". Asked to describe how he would continue the original series' ending inventions forward, for the jet airplane his answer was immediate: pandemics. Beginning about 47m30s here:

>On most aircraft, air is also circulated through hospital-grade HEPA filters, which remove 99.97 percent of bacteria, as well as the airborne particles that viruses use for transport (many regional jets lack these filters). Additionally, cabins are divided into separate ventilation sections about every seven rows of seats, which means that you share air only with those in your immediate environment and not with the guy who’s coughing up a lung ten rows back.
> A wiki is only as good as the big picture and structure of the people feeding it

Yes, a wiki is very much imperfect.

It's still much better than a public Slack channel, which faces the same limits plus additional ones as it cannot represent the knowledge of big picture structure held by the people feeding it.

I have yet to encounter a group work setting where you didn't have to carry weaker team members versus everyone being the strongest in their field. Maximum optimization is a fantasy. Such is life. I have learned to take enjoyment in giving others the opportunity to level up, even if they turn out unable to (I'm paying it forward, many have done the same for me in my career).

So, yes. I'm not only okay with it, I embrace it. Every day is a new day to have the opportunity to try to help someone become a better version of their professional self.
> Some people have good writing skills, some have good technical skills. The ones who are good at both are rare.

In my experience this is not the case: good programmers are typically good writers. I think it’s due to clarity of organization and of understanding “the problem to be solved”
Why? Subways are found in larger cities, airports are everywhere. Live and work in the countryside, travel to holiday destinations and you're done. Also, just because there happens to be a subway doesn't mean you need to use it. The times I've been to Washington DC I've managed to avoid using it entirely. The place is fairly compact and lends itself to walking to where you need to go.
> Is a gymnasium a school in Europe? It's an exercise facility in the USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_(Germany)

And yes, teaching basic notation from mathematical logic is pretty standard in Gymnasium's. I've taught sequent calculi at US high school enrichment programs; honestly, the students get it perfectly fine. The notation is no more difficult to understand than a two column proof.

It's always the teachers who struggle. Every attempt at math ed reform in the US meets that crux -- the teachers' and parents' willingness/ability to learn anything new is always massively over-estimated. The only way to teach real mathematics in US high schools is to smuggle it in through "enrichment" programs.

> I've gone through high school and taken CS (and a bit of discrete math and logic) in college, and never seen the ⊢ symbol before.

Discrete math courses are different from university to university; sometimes formal logic is covered, and sometimes it's more of an "introduction to basic proof techniques and combinatorics" course.

A university course in logic should certainly have shown you a sequent calculus at some point. I'm actually confused about how you would fill a semester-long course on logic without a turnstile ever showing up. What notation were you using to write down your derivations?

They used to say "the US has the best high schools in the world; unfortunately, they're called universities". But the universities have become so watered down that many Americans get university degrees without ever passing through an institution at the level of a good gymnasium.

This sucks, and it breaks a lot of Americans hearts. My grandparents were the first natural-born Americans of our family and we were raised to understand what that meant.

I would say it definitely is an argument. I recently sold my 2016 15” MacBook Pro for $1,400. It held on to nearly 50% of its value.

I tend to upgrade every three years and this cuts the effective price in half. It is no different than factoring in resale value on a car or house purchase.

Then yeah, I guess it works fine - I mean that's exactly what I'm going to do with mine, I drive on pure electricity for my commute, but I'm planning a 2000 mile round trip once the entire lockdown ends. I'm just saying that I'm well aware that on that longer trip the hybrid system will do exactly nothing to improve my fuel economy, or in fact make it worse because I'll be carrying around a quarter tonne battery pack that sits there and does nothing.

> You should try to have a single source of truth as much as possible. If you have many places where information can be found, it will affect both people writing the documentation and those trying to find it. The writers will have yet another blocker to just getting stuff written down. The readers won’t know where to look and will have to interrupt people in Slack, as opposed to referring to the knowledge base themselves.

Agree x1000 with this point, with emphasis on the point about readers. The probability that someone will write down an important piece of information (and will do it well) is proportional to their perception of the benefit from doing so. If the would-be author thinks nobody would read it, they won't write it down in the first place. If they think team members will find it and read it 1,000 times in the next 3 months, then they're very likely to write it down.

> I believe it has to be easy for people to write a document without having to worry too much about where to put it. Therefore, I believe it's better to have a tool with good search functionality rather than investing in having a perfect information architecture. In the latter case, we're putting up extra roadblocks for the writer, because then they'll need to spend extra time figuring out where to put their writing in the first place.

To make this work, I think you need to designate certain documents and locations as sources of truth. If any random Google Doc that someone drafts can be considered a source of truth, then gathering the "canonical" information about any topic ("what's all the customer feedback from Acme Corp?") becomes extremely difficult, especially to newer team members who haven't fully internalized the communication practices yet.

Here's our handbook page that describes what has worked for us (at Sourcegraph): https://about.sourcegraph.com/handbook/communication#sources.... Only very specific Google Docs are sources of truth; all others are just ephemeral scratchpads.
There are recent research papers supporting that theory, and lowering the threshold for herd immunity much lower to 30-40%

If that is the case then places like NYC are probably pretty close.
I feel like the title of this one sufficiently conveys the kind of content you can expect. If you know this is a problem for you, you aren't required to read it. There will not be a test. The mods will not email you and inquire as to why you failed to comment on this particular article.

When I first joined, I was extremely ill and I turned off Show Dead because it just upset the hell out of me to see dead comments and dead articles. And I knew it was because I was so very sick and that made me emotionally fragile.

As I got healthier, that stopped bothering me and I turned on Show Dead because it's additional information and it's useful for knowing what is going on here.

I'm prone to nitpicking titles and I don't have any problem with people nitpicking titles because they feel the title didn't adequately signal that is wasn't really the kind of content they come here for. But I think it's overkill to ask people to not submit this kind of content.

A private Q&A facility might be a useful middle ground. Then use the most frequently referenced topics in the Q&A as a guide to structuring a wiki.
Yes, lack of productive support for tooling, a language is much more than a grammar + semantics.

So imagine how you would design a language with dependent types that would match the productivity of Interface Builder when designer GUIs.

Or a being able to provide something like Unity.

Not only the whole interactive design process, but also the ability to ship UI components that can be integrated into the designer's toolbox.

How would a drag & drop action, or mouse click binding an event to a slot, reflect into the existing type definitions.
That may be, for genuinely bad ideas, but that is not really the issue here, which is the summary dismissal of something without due consideration, and, more generally, the predisposition to act that way.

I have seen good things dismissed because the critic has some arbitrary standards of style, or is disinclined to make an effort to understand the implementation, or has failed to learn enough about the problem domain to understand all the complications, or wants to rewrite from scratch because "I'm a software engineer, not a maintainer", or "not invented here", or to lower expectations, or to intimidate and dominate... To be fair, at some time or other I have been guilty of most of these things.

I suspect that college sometimes gives people the mistaken impression that analysis and critical thinking (and being smart) is all about picking apart someone else's thoughts, but it takes more than that to create something worthwhile.

I think this is the most important metric as far as “re-opening the economy” goes but it seems to be largely ignored by politicians.
> That's purely software, if you use Windows under Boot Camp on a MacBook it will be identical to a PC

Right, but Microsoft owns both the hardware and the software stack here. It's not like they're reviewing an Asus laptop and complaining about the trackpad.
- This would advantage even more the companies that can already more easily hire talent. Also, would you have audits to make sure salaries are not changed 2 months after hire?
- Would it work to hire 5 front desk managers to hire 1 engineer on H1B?
- It already is. Also fairly cheap, just a few grands for the hiring company, cheaper than recruiter fee.

Companies will always find a loophole. Smarter people than you and me (like, law smart) will start cranking at it to help them.

In the latter case, we're putting up extra roadblocks for the writer, because then they'll need to spend extra time figuring out where to put their writing in the first place.

This is exactly the reason why we build Emvi [1]. I've worked with a lot of different tools and none of them really encouraged people to write stuff down. Not because they weren't easy to get started with, or the editor was bad. I feel lost in a big hierarchical structure and was unsure where to put things. I always had to ask someone where to put a new article or where to find an existing piece of information. So a powerful search and focus on writing instead of organizing folders helps a lot. It still requires discipline and if you want a team to write down as much as possible, you need to build the culture. But if you don't feel you're doing something "wrong" in the first place lowers the barrier. Once you have reached the critical mass of articles and put some tags on them, you will start to see connections automatically. Emvi allows you connect everything via mentions (start typing an @).

Check out our upcoming user interface [2], it will take this approach even futher.

Well, what I said was from personal experience, so maybe I'm just dumb... I'm not sure what else to tell you. Never in my life had so much of my continual struggling with a technical topic been solely due its pointlessly convoluted notation and roundabout communication as it had with PL theory.
UBI doesn't produce goods, though. You still need companies (open and) employing people to make the goods that people buy. Both need to be present.

Windows does have its flaws (e.g. the useless built-in search), but its window management and taskbar UI is the best of any OS I've ever seen - the live previews on hover, the way it interacts with middle click just like browser tabs/links, the window snapping with multiple monitors, etc. We'll see what WSL 2 brings to the table.

It's hard for me to believe that Microsoft would not invest in first-class touchpad drivers for Windows for their flagship devices, given that the touchpad is the main way someone would interface with their device, but it's possible that it's entirely a software issue I guess.
There was a survey that went out that said 80% of small businesses can't afford more than 3 months under the current economic climate. If that's true, does that mean we will see all small business evaporate before the end of 2020?

This one is solvable - you can either just don't eat meat (plenty of people don't eat meat and they seem to do fine) or eeat meat from animals which were treated humanely.
Prior to quarantine, I had never heard of the concept of async communication. It felt like a fancy way of just saying "document more". Now that my whole department is WFH we've tried using Notion as our central repository of information. I don't think it lands every single feature described in the write up (e.g. search could be better), but, it has enough features to create write-ups and RFCs that are visually appealing to help get the point across.

We still hop on a quick Zoom 1:1 if we can't find the words to discuss over text.
This "delusion" is also mostly a straw man in my opinion. Most people who talk seriously about armed rebellion in connection with the second amendment are not talking about attempting a coup, marching on the capital, engaging the military.

They're talking about holing up in scattered rural dwellings and ignoring the law, with maybe the occasional terror attack mixed in. The Taliban has made a decent go of such a strategy so I don't it's an altogether risible position as you're implying.

You can use them without the HPC expert, Halide for example has a good autotuner and has been used by Google and Adobe to create image filters for mobile devices.
In my limited understanding - in MMT because the US is the currency of choice then it can make up as much money as it wants. My thought on this is though - if the US dollar becomes, basically, gibberish because it's been pumped so high (e.g. the US Debt keeps going up and up), then it will be abandoned and some other currency will become the standard, at this point the US is in big trouble. Maybe someone more knowledgable in this stuff can point out the flaw? one of those things I've wondered for a while.

> A team wiki is among the many better options.

Wikis are generally useless unless you have people whose job responsibilities explicitly include creating content for them and keeping them up-to-date. In my experience, if you have your PMs do this then each PM can cover 8 - 12 developers. Whereas if your PMs are just creating and pointing tickets but not also spending a good percentage of their time on longterm documentation, they can cover more like 12 - 16 developers.

Well maintained wikis are fantastic, but you almost never find them because for even a mid-size startup that costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars per year. That's the reason for public mailing lists and other email archival products, because you're getting most of the value a well-maintained wiki but with mainly only the nominal cost of paying for the software to keep it running.

I've thought a lot about this (obviously, given FWD:Everyone is in this space), and figured out the actual reason why email is so much better than Slack for knowledge retention; it's because with email you're forced to create the metadata before having the discussion, and then the discussion keeps going until people no longer have anything to say that matches the metadata -- subject, participants, visibility level, etc. (Discussions occasionally go off the rails, but less than 5% of the time as long as the organization provides some basic guidance on expectations for communication.) This metadata is key though because not only does it help you find what you need to do your job, but it helps you figure out what you don't need to read, which is perhaps even more important.

Whereas with Slack you just start talking, and their software tries to figure out what you were talking about after the fact. But despite having an AI team working on this and having invested millions and millions of dollars into the problem, their software doesn't really work at all, most likely because the problem is basically impossible to do a good job of solving from a computer science perspective.
