Re:Ask HN: How to take notes?

Since you want to quickly revise topics in a new complicated subject, I'd suggest simply slowing down and writing really thoughtful notes on the subject. Use elements of recall to really get a picture of where your understanding is at, itll help you build the lattice of your knowledge and that lattice will be strengthened when you review your notes.
I dont think cheatsheets are helpful personally. Unless you are just talking about syntax.
Also specific methods might be worth a look down the line, but initially I dont think it makes sense.
Ask HN: Any resources on the best physical UI?
For example, car interiors, fighter jet interiors, destroyer interiors. What are the best practices for physical interaction with a machine?
Ask HN: Should I learn Linear Algebra? Why?
Broad question by design, I think it would be cool and helpful to see what reasons people have to learn linear algebra.

Thanks, very helpful.
I have a feeling these technologies will be much more mainstream in 2-3 years

I see, thanks. The uses for locality seem a little niche though no? Are the benefits that much greater that it would be noticeable to users?

Thanks for the info - very helpful. Are there any specific use cases that you can point to? I dont doubt that the tech is robust, just that the use cases arent too obvious right now.

What I mean is - and I get that these are somewhat different technologies - snowflake offers a more seemingly comprehensive platform for data by aggregating it and focusing the product on that aggregation for future use.
Compared to Cockroach DB which seems like a niche SQL replacement?
Ask HN: What Is the Value of CockroachDB?
I dont mean this sarcastically, I just keep hearing how this technology is great and distributed but I cant really see the current use case in current enterprises.Is there something I am missing? Why would someone simply switch their backed databases for something that does not even offer Data Warehousing or other data management tools?
