Falcon2001 posted:I think this came up earlier, but what do folks use for work notes/etc? I have been using Joplin but it's kind of clunky and I'm not that happy with it, so looking for alternatives. I like the markdown driven approach of Joplin, so Obsidian seems like a good fit, but the pricing is a bit high for me to justify at work. (50/year). I work for a Big Tech so I can't really use anything like Notion/etc, which is generally what I use personally, and I'd rather use notepad than OneNote. I loving hate OneNote. I started with separate, rolling text files for work and home and it didn't really work quite right. I tried Boost Note, but after about 1.5 years of recipes and personal notes, it completely ate my notebook and then sync'd my eaten notebook online to destroy my backup. I'm still using Joplin after that with the backup plugin. I looked into Obsidian. Apparently, the associativity gets a bit overkill and you wind up with "spaghetti notes." I think what I really need is a better search capability in Joplin, but I don't think there is one. Getting information later has been too difficult, and there's a bit of a game of adding tag words and synonyms into old notes when I had too much difficulty retrieving them at some point. Emac's Org Mode is a thing that goes in one ear and out the other, but it does exist and it's a thing if you can sport that.

A horrifying collection of unorganized notes in the apple notes app thing. If I actually need to ever find it again it's going in confluence.

I use Notion. It’s text files organized in folders. Of all the problems I have with Notion, it’s good enough for that.

Another +1 for obsidian. I also like emacs org mode & vimwiki for simplicity. But, obsidian has a nice mobile app and I like setting it up with syncthing so I can keep my note on my phone.

Apple notes for scratching stuff out on a call and then I try to move it to the appropriate place afterwards (relevant story, email to a third party, docs, /dev/null, etc.) I really like to use our project tracker as the main place to store info because if I'm taking notes it's typically in reference to something I have to do and anything I have to do should be captured in the project tracker so it can be prioritized.

I love Notion for home use, but can't use it for work. I spent a little time today trying out Logseq which seems incredibly interesting but also wildly bizarre. I might just see if I can expense Obsidian.

For notes, I use a Mac app called Tot: https://tot.rocks It’s very simple, just a window with seven color coded tabs. So you get to keep notes on seven things or sets of things. If you get to an eighth thing, you need to delete one of the old things or move it somewhere permanent.

 I tend to revisit written/typed and turn them into markdown, but it's a bit slow. I may try Obsidian 🧠

I don’t know where else to post this but I’ve been at this company for just over two years and was just thinking about job searching seriously. They must’ve intuited this, as I got a random bonus that amounts to half my salary in rsus that vests over a few years. Where’s the catch here? Are retention incentives like this common?

yes they're common enough. the catch is that when your RSUs vest, you will pay income tax on them immediately at their fair market value. when you sell them later you'll owe taxes again based on the difference between FMV and the price you sell at, if there is one.

Tax-wise RSUs are identical to getting a bonus and using it to immediately buy stock. Unless there is a lockup period or they vest during blackout periods (both very unusual but not impossible), you can sell them about a day after vesting and it’s the same as a cash bonus as long as the stock doesn’t swing massively in that day. Barring something unusually fucky in the grant, there’s no catch beyond that people often emotionally overvalue unvested grants so they can be better for retention than an equivalent raise. The main thing to be aware of is that withholdings on bonuses is weird and even if they do sell-to-cover and deduct some of the shares to cover taxes it’ll usually not be enough and you’ll owe a bit at the end of the year. This mostly only matters when your RSUs start being a big enough portion of your income that you have to make estimated payments to avoid penalties, and there’s a one year grace period on that.

Yeah, vesting RSUs are sort of a promise from your company that they'll pay you X every Y months, and if you leave it all evaporates, so it's definitely a retention thing. Last job I left was leaving 80k in unvested stock on the floor.

i have only ever worked at private companies and usually haven't stuck around more than a couple years so i've always just kind of assumed my equity was worthless and never picked up whatever did manage to vest now i've been at a company for four years and had all my ISOs vest, and just got another batch of NSOs that will vest with the same stuff everyone uses - one year cliff for 25% and then three years for the remaining 75%. i cannot possibly imagine being at this company another full year, let alone four, and it was very hard to pretend to be excited when my boss told me i was getting this grant  of course the ISOs are still fake as well because the company is still private and it's hard to see them going public any time soon, and exercising my options would cost me a cool $51k before taxes. maybe if i bail i'll try one of those secondary market things, since giving up like 10% of the theoretical exit money in exchange for funding seems a lot better than spending a bunch of money that'll go nowhere if this company never gets around to going public

Mine vest every quarter, a few shares of them. They withhold about a little more than half of those shares for taxes. I really do hope that is more than enough, because gently caress them otherwise.

I find it hard to believe that Python (1989) is older than Java (1995). I think most people associate Java with old enterprise software at this point, while Python is increasingly the first language people learn and it's the de facto language for new work in data science and machine learning. How and why did Java become such a rusty language? E: asking in the gen prog thread too, the line between these threads is a little blurry.
