Talking to books is something that I've been thinking for a while. I hope the partnership is a step towards this.

soliston Ask HN: Does your company's HR maintain deny lists?

Is the deny list the one that completely blocks job seeker from attempting to join company? Or just a single vacancy list? I know of Smart Recruiters tool (https://www.smartrecruiters.com/), and there are candidates' profiles, their attempts, and so on.

Oh, James Clear. Loved his book "Atomic Habits".

Thank you for the link. Recently, I discovered that my 5-year-old daughter finds the joysticks of the consoles quite intuitive.

soliston The checklist is just the beginning, part 1

Oh, aviation is known to be one of the most profound checklists' users. It's interesting to also learn that the specially designed toolboxes are also in wide use. Thank you for sharing! Yeah, what a big pleasure to keep the head unloaded because of the order of the organized space.:)

Oh yes, I confirm Google's regular mis-yearing. When looking for the “checklist”, I started from service's lowest limit, year 1500, and moved to the more modern days. Usually, typography says for itself before you even discover the year on one of the first pages. When you see multiple columns grid layout in XVII century books, you already know that it is not from these times.:D

BTW, did you try looking in the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/texts)? It was a place where I found the earliest 1841 evidence.

When preparing the blog post, I also investigated the analogue term in Russian: контрольный список (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Контрольный_список). At first, I discovered the first mention in 1882, but then in 1823! So I can't say that it's the resolved question for me.

First of all, wow, I didn't expect someone will ever reply, thank you!

Is there some document on the internet confirming this? I will update the blog post with this new information.

soliston Pilots did not invent checklists in 1935. When did they appear?

The entire visible Internet unanimously declares that the checklists appeared after the crash of the “Model 299” military aircraft. This article shows that this is completely wrong, and the history of checklists is much more interesting.

There are books on many topics, and there are books about lists. Are they as usual as the topic itself? No, quite the opposite!
