Exactly, and this kind of selective ignorance actually costs everybody dearly in the long run. Because we just cannot please everybody.


Seeding peers or machines are meant to mitigate this issue.


Another similar (well, to some extend) open-source VS-Code based note-taking tool: https://github.com/foambubble/foam-template


Saw an article on using iron powder as energy source. Seems interesting but unfortunately I can't find the link anymore.


It depends how a country classifies casualties outside those confirmed cases. Autopsy usually would not be viable given the scarcity of health care staff.


A lot of technologies are getting way more complex and confusing than necessary. Just look at the market of time management. Tonnes of tools, software, coaches, websites, books, etc. You name it.

I recently found out that a simple .txt file serves me exceptionally well (a good IDE plugin definitely helps, too!). No more messy software, apps, journals, etc. which I feel are making my time management tasks even more challenging.


But org-mode!

Sorry, someone had to do it!


My code folder is a sym link to a folder in my iCloud drive. The beauty is all my code will be sync'ed to cloud automatically, and the bonus is I can see this folder in every machine that syncs with the same Apple account. I believe this approach works with any cloud drive like DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc.


It also means that you can destroy your ‘backup’ easily, and get your erroneous change synced to every machine that syncs with the same Apple account, destroying most copies of the affected file(s).

Unlike Dropbox, iCloud Sync doesn’t version files, so that’s not easily corrected, even if you spot the problem early.


Nice sharing. Like the tip on 'Own Tools' that has been applied in numerous situations. Sometimes a quick-and-dirty script(usually bash or python) will accelerate things considerably.


<sarcasm> My company is awesome in the sense to make sure it doesn't forget, it repeats the same mistakes every couple of years </sarcasm>


We keep ours in a manilla folder labeled "Business plan 2021"


I worked with some other outsourcing companies from other part of the world, and seen exactly this pattern: The initial team was sharp and smart, to gain stakeholder confidence, they stayed for a few months, setting up demo and prototype. Later they would slowly bring in other team members and started to withdraw themselves from the project. Eventually, those A-team was gone.

Those late-joiners had absolutely no clue on what was going on, and also didn't have the competency at all to hold the helm. Result? A much mediocre rewrite of the whole platform which never fulfilled the requirements.
