So I have started integrating React charts into our SaaS product. During this process I played around with Chart.Js React and ReCharts. Recharts has been absolutely fantastic! I would highly recommend it. The only downside is the built-in handling for time / date data isn't great. Where Chart.Js will be a better bet for that. During my research I did come across Uber's React charting library too: https://github.com/uber/react-vis, which seemed excellent.
Submitted this because I feel like the prediction is at least directionally accurate, and it's worth keeping in mind.
I‘d love to have a version of facebook where I just saw original content instead of random stuff people share.

I want to see photos that my friends took, stories that my friends wrote, songs that my friends performed, etc.

Everytime I open Facebook, all I see is „Your friend liked this alarming news article“ and I go and immediately close it again.

I want a network that lets me catch up with my friends rather than waste time clicking on videos produced by content farms.
>I guess startups only recruit the irrational?

There are plenty of rational and not necessarily fiscal reasons why someone would prefer to work at a startup than at BigCo.

Coinbase had degraded service. One exchange can't build or crash the price.
Basically the perception was that Wikinews was bogged down in process. So we came up with a simple obvious process on the spot.

Then I looked up the Wikinews process ... and it was about the same. So clearly that wasn't the problem.

The difference with WikiTribune is that there are paid journalists. This will I think help.
geodesic domes were a big thing in the 1970s/80s and were about the same price of a mobile home/trailer home. They could be easily assembled by a couple of people w/a small group of friends in a weekend, and added onto as needed. The problems came with zoning as anything novel is more difficult for the local inspector to assess, and the internal angled walls made for wasted space, so anything taller than a low desk (dresser, cabinet, or refrigerator) against an outside perimeter must stand out from the wall.

Another option is to just buy an RV and/or a camper + a truck to pull it.

The survivalist crowd has done quite a bit of this -- buying remote rural lots with good water and farm land and setting up a homestead.

Bazel is what I really like (xoogler here, used it mainly with java+protos, minor python/c++, testing, other things). Similarly - gn (though different internals, easier platform switch, etc.), buck, pants, etc.

In all of these I like the single "BUILD" file per directory, and simple text file explaining dependencies.

Also these tools work awesome when you are in a company, and you have underneath - dozen or more libs, sdks, projects that need to run together.

> And if it isn't you should be a millionaire for your risk

What risk? The only risk I've ever had as an engineer at a startup was the risk of losing my job (which everyone has, they just ignore it). And let's be real, a good engineer can find a new job at the drop of a hat. The risk is nil.

And this is exactly what makes it a terrible store of value. As Wikipedia says, "The point of any store of value is risk management due to a stable demand for the underlying asset." Stable demand is definitely not a characteristic of Bitcoin.
It's pretty inexcusable that in this day and age, there's no affordable housing options. Even in most rural areas, regulation makes it impossible to live in a tiny-home/ small off-grid cabin, etc. I know there are reasons for regulation but personally I'm trying to escape the rat race and housing is one of the biggest obstacles to that.
They know that the options would be quite difficult to pass up, and so they don't have to try as hard to retain people during that time. "Treat like shit" may be a slight exaggeration, but we've also all heard about the working conditions at Amazon.
I'd like to use Jupyter notebooks to do support tasks - eg check on system hosts and do reports, maybe restart processes. I think it could be perfect. I'm just hesitant because no one else seems to use it this way. Any advice out there?
Just an off-topic comment:
i am the maintainer of a visual query builder for SPARQL queries.
cf http://datao.net

This tool proposes to design query patterns from a graph data model, via drag n drops. The tool can then compile the patterns as SPARQL, run them on an endpoint and format the results as map/forms/tables/graphs/HTML (via templating)/...

Another service of Datao (http://search.datao.net) proposes a search-engine view of those queries so you can type the textual representation of an object in any public SPARQL endpoint, and the service will list the queries currently available in Datao that can be applied upon this object.
You can then run these queries with a click, and get the HTML templating of the query results.

Feel free to have a look at the website, if you find any interest in this tool.

Not necessarily, a company I used to work for had to lay off a significant chunk of engineering but paid out big bonuses to those who stayed on. If there's a shortage of labor to do the job, money is a pretty easy way to simplify the problem.

It's not a direct comparison, but then again, the jobs are pretty different to begin with.
Have you tried MapTool? It's not an online service but a client/server Java tool, but if you're not e.g. looking for a new group it's good enough for scripting rules and displaying maps.

Anyone aware of one of these board games sites that makes it a priority to be accessible? I'm visually impaired, so would benefit from anything visual also having a text/audio component. Also a lot of these are drag-and-drop, so having an alternative way to move things around would be helpful. Obviously some games wouldn't translate well to a non-visual medium, so that's why I ask.
Abnormal behavior on the road increases risk by creating unknowns. I don't think we should ban autonomous cars from new behavior, but I think it's just as odd to say that unpredictable but legal behavior is somehow just as safe as predictable legal behavior.

In regard to the 1.5x hourly rate that is being offered there is an interesting quote from the AA union on the NPR article[0]

Ask HN: Tool for getting comments on a doc, with each reviewer private?
I'd like to send around a document to people

I'd like them to be able to comment inline in the document without them having to sign up for a new service (if it's google docs that's fine because they already would have an account)

I'd like people to be able to comment on the doc, without knowing/seeing that other people are also commenting on the same doc

When I view the doc, I'd like to see all the comments

When they view the doc, I'd like them to see just their comments

One way of doing this - manually copying and sharing a new version of the doc for each person

Is there some piece of software that does this in a more automated way?

In most companies I've been exposed to, it's the _minimum_ expected effort for the rate.

It's also why one of the first career mentorship steps I go through with Juniors is calculating their hourly rate with the assumption of 40 hours a week (per the ostensible employee agreement), and then calculating it against the _real_ hours worked per week after taking a position.

You'd be surprised how illuminating that's been to those Juniors, and how much of an imprint it left on those folks as they progressed in their careers. A lot of people in our industry genuinely don't recognize how much they devalue themselves and diluting their hourly rate when they're putting in 60-80 hours a week.

Worth mentioning here for any interested parties is OCTGN [1], or "Online Card and Tabletop Gaming Network".

Interesting history - it started out from a VB6 application (specifically for playing Magic the Gathering) maintained by a single guy, he then handed dev off and the entire application was rewritten as a C# WPF application and was in hot competition with Magic Workstation directly for some time [2], which ultimately IMO made it a much better product. I believe I actually still have the original VB6 source on an old HDD somewhere... If I find it, wondering how to best archive it, or would anyone even care?

Anyway, OCTGN is currently a generic "tabletop game" program that allows for new games to be defined via the documented game format [3] and even supports python scripting.

Generally, no, especially for tech workers at common Silicon Valley pay scales, which are exempt under state and federal wage and hour laws.

But lower-base-pay non-exempt employees sometimes are quoted a salary but with terms that make it a predefined quota of hours and rate that is in practice more like an hourly rate; these positions usually have paid leave so that, unless the leave is exhausted, it mostly only differs from a pure salary in that overtime is paid, either at straight, time-and-half, or double pay, depending on labor law and contract terms.

In some sense, they're still not. Derivatives don't require much involvement in the underlying commodity. For example, consider weather derivatives:

E.g., the CME's weather futures and options:

It's not like the Merc is really involved in weather. They just let people gamble on the weather.

This is not the same thing, but you might be interested in taking a look at the excellent online Terra Mystica implementation (https://terra.snellman.net/) if you haven't seen it already.

It's a web interface, but the underlying representation is text-based, and you can type in the commands directly if you want. This leads to some nice features--for example, you can plan your moves several steps ahead of time, and you get a game log for free.

I think jupyter with C++ is an amazing idea, and I hope it will help more people to start with, in my subjective opinion, one of the most important programming languages today.

That being said, I look down on all the commentators who say that C++ has a primitive build system/package manager etc. Lets be clear: C++ has no package manager, and , in my view of the world, no compiled language has a native build system, its just that most compiled languages dont separate compilation from linking and also most languages support modules :)

C++ is hard. Throwing some fancy frontend and and a REPL will only make you realise that sooner. The complexity is mostly unjustified, but the language is so powerful that you could do anything with it: from trading strategies to power plant control systems to game engines. I have been studying C++ for 9 years, have used it for 7, and have been a professional developer for only 2.5 years, and I think I have only scratched the surface. I have used python for a lot less time but I feel like I am more comfortable with it because Python is trivial to learn (to a person with a comp sci background ofc). What you think you are cutting away (dependencies/build jnfo) is something essential to learning C++ and how everything comes together. Better learn it sooner than later imho.

No I think a salaried employee is a professional and supposed to put in the hours required to get the job done, within reason. For example if a client has come to see you and your boss wants to take everyone for a work dinner you wouldn't say 'sorry it's after hours' - you're paid full time and you're supposed to be there as required, and you don't quibble about the hours, within reason. Where as an hourly employee would say 'sorry I'm off the clock'.
