I hear you. The practicability of handwriting meeting notes does depend on a few assumptions being true, i.e. improved retention of the meeting would obviate the need to retrieve notes in the first place (not always true, but in my case, often true), and that if you needed to retrieve those notes, you could (again, depends).

Me personally, I never transcribe my handwritten notes -- that would be too much work. But I do keep them in an unorganized pile (they're just loose sheets). If I ever needed to retrieve a note, I'll rifle through the pile and I can usually find what I need in 1-2 minutes (I don't attend THAT many meetings). It's not the most organized approach, but it's lightweight and it works for me. Paper isn't exactly unsearchable, merely less searchable than digital. (After all human civilization did exist before computers :)

But typing up meeting notes in software works fine and has its advantages, especially if there's a need to share them or to follow-up on them.

As a software developer, being introduced only to the managers and not the team as part of the interviewing process is one of the biggest red flags (except during social distancing times, of course). Picking up the vibe is an excellent way to know whether I'll be able to contribute as much as possible. It doesn't have to be time consuming at all; simply joining a standup should be plenty.

For example, are the tech lead and managers listeners or talkers? Do they solve problems, delegate them or ignore them? Is the team as a whole enthusiastic about the work? Are there rock stars, cowboys, social justice warriors, dominant/submissive personalities, blamers, micromanagers or virtue spiralists? A little bit of even several of these is probably inevitable in any team, but it's possible to take any one of these to a toxic level.

A liar?

Soviet Union had bars common people went to?

(Answer: no. My parents lived in the USSR until they were in their mid-30s and _never_ went to a bar. And they had means. Bars simply did not exist for non-Westerners. Beer was sold in the streets and in liquor stores you could get beer/wine/vodka). See the Ushanka show link for confirmation of this, unless Sergei is also a liar.

Soviet Union had grocery stores where you could go and buy fresh cuts of beef?

(Answer: no. Beef in the USSR was usually old milk cows that got slaughtered. People generally didn't eat steaks like they do in The West, because old milk cows aren't good for that. Steaks were unheard of. If you got beef, you made zharkoye. People ate lots of pork. Fun fact: pork is still more expensive than beef in Ukraine). If you wanted fresh, good meat, you had to buy from a vendor directly at a bazaar. Stores had chicken and canned fish.

What I've been wondering is, if these kinds of programs succeed, how do we ensure a smooth transition to the new career paths at the high school level?

1. Needs an option to use Firefox as the browser, rather than using Chrome. And an option to open externally or a within the app.
2. Needs an option for the article title link to take me straight to the article. Yep, I could click the link icon, but it's a smaller area and clicking the title is intuitive.
3. When there's no thumbnail, the large placeholder with two letters and a garish background colour feels like wasted space. Either remove the placeholder, or improve the algorithm to insert an image.

I would posit that MikroTik is so far not doing this insanity, and price-wise is not far off from NetGear.
Crucially, that's 63 miles North of Virginia. Latitude is relatively straightforward to measure. It's pretty well given that if you sail west from Northern Europe, you'll hit North America. Hitting it at your intended latitude might depend on the winds, but one you bump into it, it should be pretty easy for a competent navigator to tell you how far off your target you were in latitude. Given decent maps, figuring out longitude is probably not a tall order either if you know your latitude and you're on the coast.
But a programming language has 2 purposes: to tell a computer what to do and also to tell a human what the computer does. That's why programming languages are between machine code and human language. Some weighted more one way or the other, but always some kind of balance.

I don't trust a company like Google to act in its students' and certificate holders' best interests. It's not hard to imagine that the certifications will all be tied back to a Google account that they can terminate at any time, at their discretion. On a more Google-y note, I wouldn't want to get an email in five years telling me that they're sunsetting their online certificate verification portal, meaning no one can actually trust my claims as a certificate holder.

In case anyone else did not realize this and is as confused as I was, apparently you can attach more than one photo to a tweet, and Twitter will then show previews of all of them in a gallery. The previews are formed by taking some part of the original image. Clicking on any of the previews opens a view of the corresponding full image.

I knew about twitter taking a part of an image and using that for a preview, but had not realized that there could be more than one image in a tweet.
I posted this comment in an earlier thread on Mental Models but here it goes again.

Remember when someone is pushing something ask yourself - what is their agenda? Farnam Street's Shane Parrish is the newsletter and subscription business, just like CNBC is in the financial infotainment business not in the investment or wealth creation business. They want you think of them as the authority by peddling ideas from an place of authority without actually providing a track record of success. CNBC's Jim Cramer's stock recommendations on evaluation had a worse than S&P record and subsequently pulled from his site.

Mental model are quite interesting to read but applying them is another matter. It like asking Tiger Woods for golf lessons. I have been reading mental models for a couple decades now. I decided to pick one model and focus on applying it - invert always invert. This one simple rule has been really hard to apply. One, it is really really hard to remember to apply in the heat of decision making. Two, you cannot just apply it. That requires practice with an expert practitioner like an apprenticeship (guilds), extended internship (law/finance) or residency (medicine). You cannot just pick it up by reading a damn article or book.

Let me give an analogy of trying to reason about physical properties from first principles which is another "mental model". This is another popular exhortation - think from first principles just like Feynman or Fermi. Apparently, Fermi figured out the yield from the first test nuclear blast by tossing paper confetti over his head and calculating the yield from the scatter from the blast wave. I can think from first principles in one extremely narrow field where I happen to have half a decade of education and 20 years of experience. To reason from first principles like Fermi or Feynman in a broad domain like physics requires a world class mind, a world class education and a world of experience. Seriously, WTF.

Most mental model writing is akin to consuming youtube fitness porn. It looks easy to do, you look cool doing it and the end results are just spectacular. However, like Arnold or David Goggins it requires an inhuman dedication, purpose, ability to withstand pain, bounce back from trauma and just keep sacrificing attitude for a couple of decades with a healthy dose of failure. Most of the time the only person benefiting is the video creator from the ad-roll.

I appreciate the posts but I now believe these mental models are incredibly hard to do and like most of the self-improvement/growth hacking genre is just good for entertainment and commerce 99.99% of the time.
This has been a real problem again in the Windows 10 era. By around 2008, Microsoft seemed to have finally gotten their patch process cleaned up to the point that if you were only taking security patches, they generally installed cleanly and mostly didn't break random things. By about 2016 this has backslid and now Windows 10 seems intent on large scale combined updates and constant servicing stack updates that with undocumented consequences.

It's been a giant pain having spent years trying to get organizations to accept the need and learn to do this stuff reliably only to have the primary source of misery (Microsoft) repeatedly start biting them in the ass again for what should be best practices.

Meanwhile in the same timeframe most BSD and Linux releases have not only gotten their core software updates down to a science, they've also managed to build workflows that can include huge swathes of 3rd party open source and commercial software, which is so hilariously awful on windows that multiple companies build businesses around doing it.

First of all, really neat project.

There's an issue with the Installation section of the web page, though. Running Chrome on Linux, it says "System detected: Linux", which is right. But under "CLI", it offers me a download of duckdb_cli-osx-amd64.zip.

Just in case it was just the zip file name that's wrong, I downloaded it, but the duckdb binary inside is a "Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 executable" according to the file command.

The correct file is available if I click on Other Installations (https://duckdb.org/docs/installation/).

Also, if I try it on running Firefox on Linux, it says "System detected: UNIX" and gives me the OS X download.

> a premium manufacturer that produces desktops and laptops that only run MacOS

Not sure that's been true for some time now. Wouldn't they be better described as "a premium manufacturer of mobile phones that run iOS with an app ecosystem they make 30% commission on, who also make legacy propitiatory laptop and desktop devices"?

(I agree with the rest of your comment though. Apple _don't want_ 99% of Android or Windows customers, and are more than happy for Huawei and Oppo and AliExpress to sell phones and laptops to people Apple dont care about. They _might_ care a bit about encouraging top of the range Samsung or Pixel phone customers to iPhones, maybe. And they at least used to try to woo the dev/webdev crowd to macOS machines, but less obviously these days, it seems to me.)
But they did eat meat rarely, if you're talking about Western style meat eating. Soviet people ate a lot of canned meat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tushonka) and a lot of smoked/cured sausages and baloney-style products. The availability of meat in the USSR was nothing like it is now in present-day Russia or The West.

I spent a while looking at this today. It's really interesting.

It's not based on SQLite at all (except for borrowing the SQLite shell implementation) but it looks very much like SQLite, in particular:

- It's designed to work as an embedded library, eliminating the network overhead you usually get when talking to a database

- Each database is a single file on disk

- It ships as an "amalgamation" build - a single giant C++ file (SQLite is a single giant C file)

Impressively, if you run "pip install duckdb" it Just Works - you can then "import duckdb" and start using it, with an interface that looks very similar to the sqlite3 module that ships with Python.

The key reason this exists is that it's a column store, with vectorized operations across columns - making it ideal for analytical workloads. This blog entry has some benchmarks that illustrate how well it works in that regard: https://uwekorn.com/2019/10/19/taking-duckdb-for-a-spin.html

It's also backed up by some strong computer science. It's by the academic researchers behind MonetDB and includes implementations of a bunch of interesting papers: https://duckdb.org/docs/why_duckdb#standing-on-the-shoulders...

It's a really interesting piece of software, and unlike many other "new databases" it feels like it fills a very genuine gap in my toolbox.
