I have about 200 cables that I want to organize for easy storage and retrieval. They include:

- ~60 USB data cables (15 different connector combinations),

- ~30 USB charging cables (and USB to the proprietary chargers, like Garmin),

- ~20 video cables (HDMI, etc.),

- power and ethernet cables, and tons of completely proprietary ones.

I am sure many of you have more intimidating collections.

How do you manage all that? The easiest solution would be to tie them with velcro and distribute them across 5-10 bins. However, this is not space-efficient, and space is limited for me. Additionally, it doesn't help with retrieval, and I dislike rummaging through bins of USB cables to find the specific combination that I need.

Any suggestions?","time":1719857336,"title":"Ask HN: How do you organize and store your cables?","type":"story"}],[39680997,{"by":"mootpt","descendants":303,"id":39680997,"kids":[39682147,39686210,39681607,39683903,39682217,39682068,39685337,39681850,39681605,39682167,39682002,39681454,39683220,39682646,39682196,39683913,39687089,39683462,39684185,39682138,39682981,39683382,39687357,39681570,39682086,39683308,39681741,39687059,39686273,39682876,39687894,39690493,39685380,39682534,39682783,39686397,39686631,39681461,39681768],"score":664,"time":1710258755,"title":"Building Meta's GenAI infrastructure","type":"story","url":"https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/12/data-center-engineering/building-metas-genai-infrastructure/"}],[39658742,{"by":"JustSkyfall","descendants":151,"id":39658742,"kids":[39658952,39659387,39659561,39658896,39659216,39658966,39659242,39659104,39664578,39659228,39658939,39659092,39659048,39659188,39659659,39659468,39659809,39659282,39659014,39659046,39658871,39658971],"score":87,"time":1710076154,"title":"Google confirmed it 'terminated' an employee who staged a protest against Israel","type":"story","url":"https://www.businessinsider.com/google-employee-fired-after-protesting-against-israel-2024-3"}],[39460788,{"by":"swman","descendants":135,"id":39460788,"kids":[39461015,39461112,39465473,39461092,39460973,39460986,39461070,39466940,39461138,39461030,39460999,39461118,39467863,39461117,39461011,39461068,39461616,39463042,39474481,39461104,39461045,39466854,39461195,39467843,39479117,39462943,39461115,39467518,39463211,39461176,39465311,39462885,39461205,39467333,39461149,39461161,39461184,39468225,39461074,39468975,39461182,39471721,39461200,39461055,39483589,39461088,39471668,39463213,39468418,39462508,39490891,39469781,39467198,39465084,39461194,39461019,39471452,39461038,39461097,39466688,39461265,39466772,39463843,39468090,39463686,39460980,39494142,39465322,39462069,39467379],"score":193,"text":"$16","time":1708556161,"title":"Tell HN: GPT copilots aren’t that great for programming","type":"story"}],[39456895,{"by":"behnamoh","descendants":11,"id":39456895,"kids":[39458850,39458809,39470471,39459169,39465256],"score":35,"time":1708537123,"title":"Google Brings Gemini to Gmail, Docs, Slides, and More","type":"story","url":"https://twitter.com/Google/status/1760335211210956942"}],[39370226,{"by":"jilles","descendants":89,"id":39370226,"kids":[39370327,39380370,39370371,39370498,39456238,39371989,39370507,39370648,39370914,39370815,39372862,39370505,39371213,39370416,39371490,39370477,39370570,39371331,39370422,39373040,39370717,39370444,39370363,39370874,39386419,39370409,39371389,39375018,39370981,39370506,39370441,39371291,39372249,39372338,39370963,39370536,39370904,39371008],"score":59,"text":"Hi folks,

Recently I have ventured into technical writing. At the company I work for, documentation is scattered around ~4 different tools.

1. Google Docs\n2. Confluence\n3. GitHub (READMEs)\n4. Slack

Each of those serves a purpose of course, Google Docs are very collaborative, Confluence is our source of truth, GitHub is mostly for engineering and finally Slack usually has some threads you can find if you run into certain issues.

I am not suggesting we should put all of this into a single tool, but I am wondering if there is a methodology for organizing documentation. I am aware of Diataxis, and want us to use this for certain services / products. What I am looking for in this ASK HN post though, is an overarching methodology of organizing all documentation.","time":1707921471,"title":"Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?","type":"story"}],[39352880,{"by":"panqueca","descendants":16,"id":39352880,"kids":[39354254,39353698,39355293,39354808,39355764,39353653,39359202,39353661,39372246,39353977,39353249],"score":18,"text":"One of the biggest challenges I've seen in any large company is that applications become complex over time. And it becomes even more difficult to analyze, plan, fix bugs, and optimize the system when the codebase is very large, no matter how well organized it may be.

In my view, a great alternative would be the use of workflow tools, which have a graphical pipeline where teams can follow each step of the process along with its respective input and output, in a visual interface.

I see this type of design as an evolution of how software is developed, but I don't see a wide adoption by companies/startups when they are starting to develop their applications. What I see is the same old recipe being repeated infinitely, new project = microservices + cloud.

Note: to give examples of such tools, I will mention two that I found on the awesome-workflow-engines list on GitHub.\n- Apache Airflow\n- temporal(dot)io","time":1707785626,"title":"Why isn't everyone using code workflow platforms when creating new applications?","type":"story"}],[39367527,{"by":"levleontiev","descendants":27,"id":39367527,"kids":[39385194,39367609,39386034,39375079,39417651,39384225,39406188,39380016,39383008,39404777,39385064,39380172,39373301,39372233,39373143,39384139,39383033,39406075,39385290],"score":8,"text":"GA4 — an overcomplicated one. \nSome people say Jira is awful.
