Ask HN: Knowledge Management Integrated with GSuite?
GSuite doesn't work for knowledge management (Google Sites is bad, Keep to basic and Drive is just a drive) in a team setting.

What do you use in a work setting that is deeply integrated into GSuite?
If you don't understand the value of TileDB, you probably haven't dealt with the data that it is meant to model.

Using something like MongoDB for genomic or sparse geospatial data is incredibly cumbersome.

The access patterns for analytical applications making use of the above data types are spatially collocated ... the subsequent implication of this is that data needs to be stored in ways that are geometrically optimized on the file-system.

Consider a dataset which assembles information regarding terrain ... you collect a measurement using a laser. Some areas you use a laser scanner that is very dense (high number of samples per square km) ... in another you sparsely sample it. This results in a huge multi-dimensional array... this is well understood by people collecting the data. TileDB is built for this type of use case... "complex" data is ambiguous.

Hilarious! I think this is a good way to get gpt3 to produce memes, seeing that it tried to add one to each slide.
I wish I had a good answer for you. All I can really offer is commiseration, by way of saying that I have the same issue. I spread myself way too thin, trying to work on multiple projects at the same time, instead of picking on and working on it exclusively (or even near exclusively).

That said, to the extent that I have gotten any better at this over the years, I did the following:

I created a page on my personal wiki, with a "todo list". At the very top, before any of the todo items are a series of questions. Every time I look at the list, I'm reminded to ask myself those questions.

I don't have the list in front of me right this second, and I'm not sure I'd want to share the exact list anyway, as it's kinda subjective and personal. But assume it includes things like:

1. What is the single most important thing I could be doing RIGHT NOW, vis-a-vis creating revenue?

2. Whatever I'm about to do, WHY am I doing it NOW?

etc.

It helps a little bit, but not completely since so much of what I do is kept in my head and I don't consult this page all that often. But at least I get a little reminder every now and then of what I'm supposed to be focusing on, in terms of the strategy I wrote down.
Sounds like overfitting.
Probably. I've always had kind of a dad vibe.

However in regards to your last clause, I said as much in my comment. "Finding weirdos" was less of a problem than "finding weirdos without a grudge against weirdos like me."

> problem i have with PMs as an engineer is that very often they are both clueless about domain knowledge and about technology (or the state of the system they are working with). this is a very horrendous situation to be in both as PM and as an engineer working with a PM.

I don't think the PM needs to be particularly knowledgeable about technology so long as they sanity check their ideas with engineering first. The roadmap needs to be the result of a conversation.

> >5. Decisions, and what you prioritize, need evidence

This is all I really want from a PM. When they set a certain priority to tasks, I want to see market research data, usability studies, customer testimony, a list of sales leads, revenue projections, etc.
The article misses two major points.

The social network is not nearly as valuable as the article makes out. It is only valuable insofar as the big banks are willing to trust you. If Societe Generale, UBS, Merus Capital, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, BlackRock, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and JP Morgan all are a little skittish about Bloomberg controlling the platform, they can go somewhere else and tell the traders they have to use it.

https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/12/symphony-a-messaging-app-t...

The real killer app for Bloomberg is mortgage backed securities. It is data intensive, it is analytically complex and the second largest asset class, with 9 trillion outstanding, and you simply cannot trade them without a Bloomberg terminal.

That is Operation Warp Speed[1] and it is a very large investment by the US Government to find a vaccine. You should be thankful that the United States has the money to invest in this global research, instead of spreading FUD that the USA is blocking others from getting treatment. In fact, the Oxford trial that was announced today was heavily funded by this program, with the NHS being some of the first to be vaccinated if the treatment is approved. How dare the USA help the NHS, amirite?

Seriously, would you rather the USA didn't make this investment? What is your optimal outcome here?

I completely agree, what I wanted to say is that in all those cases relationship work better when the basic nature of the connection is trust, not distrust. In a sense societies puts limitation on the power of governments/employers/parents so that they can be safely trusted even more (specifically so that those deserving of trust are allowed to have it), not because they are inherently untrustworthy.

The true test for such a tool are usually the edge cases; in my opinion the web is simply too finnicky, and all those well-meaning custom algorithms I've tried fell way short.

I would recommend Ranorex, which combines a comfortable record-replay functionality (which creates real C# code) and a code-first approach and everything in-between. A powerful "spy" assists in creating the most sophisticated locators and turns them into first-class Ranorex objects; a shortcut jumps from code to the repository and back; duplicate elements are detected on the fly.

Are you aware that rushed vaccines for pandemics have caused serious side effects that were not discovered until too late? This is not a theoretical concern. A study of 1000 people for 2 months is not nearly enough to detect the kinds of issues that have occurred in the past, let alone novel issues.

We need to ensure that the vaccine is extraordinarily safe. "But it saves more people than it kills" is not an argument people accept, unfortunately. If this vaccine kills anyone, the antivax fallout could be worse in the long run than just letting the virus run its course.

Those don't seem like valid reasons not to offer for sale to consumers. Distribution is a non-issue. Literally ship in a case of them to FBA or one of the countless other fulfillment operations and put up a listing. Amazon handles the customer service.

As for the marketing, just don't do any. Let the hobby market find it on their own and then just set a minimum order for anyone that wants to work directly with the company for their small project.

I think getting into the hobby market would amount to a huge long tail market of kickstarter style projects and other small products with potential to blow up.

I really don't see how their current strategy could be that great considering how rare it is to see products out there that are e-ink.
Having travel agents for companies is actually a good idea, having someone work to set up travel for workers saves a crapload of time and money for everyone and better done if its outsourced to someone that knows travel.

Lots of board and CXX whigs book their vacations through their agent on their company's dime as a part of their benefits package which is actually a great deal for them. I'm more of a thrill seeker so I wouldn't use one but the average person who just wants a stable planned-out vacation that they only get once a year it's a really good idea.
There's precedent for all the things you described.

> Therapy can help some trans folks, but what they really need is a community that supports them regardless of how well they pass.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with that part.

Therapy can help people starting out with blockers. Basically, young trans people that will pass but going through the social process is still difficult. Therapy isn't a universal solution and there is no proof that it works for everyone. The older population of trans people won't find therapy helpful depending on the following factors of did they get on on blockers at all, was HRT & good genetics in early 20s an option, and is it possible for them to pay for surgeries needing to eventually pass. Finding the "perfect community" for trans people is a flattering way of expressing segregation. They should be able to feel safe anywhere is what the solution should be. Otherwise they won't ever feel normal and possibly be assaulted or killed in society.

I'm unsure why nonbinary people are relevant in a discussion about trans people and since they don't have a concept of passing to other people as a certain sex. Sure, they prefer to be nonbinary in regard to how they look or be received.

Trans bodies aren't natural. Every trans person will express how they wish they could have started before puberty in an ideal life. The perfect life would have been just born cis as the sex they identify as or not have gender dysphoria.

It's better to be honest than to hugbox someone into a dangerous situation. I've seen some trans people just want assistance in dying because passing is everything for quality of life to not be poor for them. I think they should be able to get it but only if passing is not going to be an option with HRT and surgeries are not going to fix anything. I remember reading a trans person has received assistance in dying somewhere in Europe for Gender Dysphoria. It's sad but that's how it is for some people in life.

Distractions in general hurt sleep. I'm not convinced using the phone is any different than other distractions. Of course, sleep researchers say that doing anything at all in bed other than sleep and sex is a bad idea, but distracting yourself while not in bed too isn't helpful.

Naturally, I ignore that advice and still use my phone in bed. But switching from Twitter to doing other stuff helped significantly, because I can monitor myself and put the phone down when I get calm enough and sleepy enough to sleep. Twitter was preventing me from getting calm/sleepy due to producing anxiety. I do still read Discord, which sometimes can have the Twitter problem depending on what people are talking about, but it helps me keep from feeling completely socially disconnected due to using Twitter less.

Speaking as Worms Armageddon maintainer: Yes, of course we want to port the game to run natively on more platforms. There's just some really non-trivial technical obstacles in the way. For instance, the game relies on an internal framework called DXMFC for its UI, which is entirely based on MFC, Microsoft's UI toolkit.

Speaking as a full-time Linux users since 2016: I found that getting old (i.e. unmaintained) native Linux games to work again is MUCH harder than running their Windows version. E.g., I spent hours trying to get the Linux port of Unreal Gold to work with no luck, and in the end had to give up and run the Windows version under Wine. There is just so much change on the Linux desktop that old software is just not going to behave well. Not only do you usually need to reproduce the entire userspace from the time the game is released (and of the distro that it was built against), but changes in display APIs (Xinerama, XRandR, SDL versions...) often result in full-screen or resolution problems.

This is a project I wrote to work around exactly issues like this:

Somewhat interesting article, I normally find these sorts of things a bit tedious. I do think there are some contradictions in some of the points regarding the honouring of the 'manager's schedule', 'maker's schedule' (that phrase made me wince) and communication, and the (incorrect) belief that there's no such thing as over-communication.

Maybe it was hinted at in the article, but while someone's job title may be Product Manager, they'll most likely be working with engineers who know far more about the product - it's capabilities and limitations - far more than the PM. Don't take it personally if something gets shot down, or if something you didn't know about is inserted into the monthly plan.
Just to clarify, I'm not really picking a side but just was curious on your thoughts being explained further. Only thing I have to add is just because it's not a problem right this instant doesn't necessarily mean it can't be a problem in the future, right?

As a developer, you can copy the CSS 1:1. Of course you won't get better then the original, but if you invest a lot of work (for all the corner cases), you'll get very close to a identical copy.

And you can use your copy as a template for some auto-generation document system.

That might sound crazy but I've created blog or website templates several times exactly this way. By using some web framework, I could even get cleaner code which was more versatile to use then the original CSS.

Just to note that language "duplicates in sparse arrays" doesn't make sense, if you allow for duplicates it is no longer an array by definition.
I've used that, a few years later, and really enjoyed it. At the time I've used it Turbo Pascal for CP/M was also available and it was pure magic, practically instantaneous compared to anything else. Even then, that environment allowed me to write the program in the editor, compile it and run all in RAM, even if the RAM was smaller than 64 KB. I'd write something new, press just a few keys, and it either runs and writes the output or it brings me back to the editor and the line with an error, without any additional steps. The last time I've checked, not even the latest IDEs did the last step so smoothly -- I'd have to click around in the output window before.
To add, a major problem facing central banks has been too low base inflation, so interest rates have been crippled as a tool for stimulus.
