SA is one of the largest arms purchasers in the world. They spend 10% of the gdp on their military. If the US spent that much, we would be spending 3x what we are currently -- or almost $2T/year.

They are about as strong as they can possibly be.

But at the end of the day, they're 32m people. 1/10th the US population or about the same as Texas or New York.

The US didn't "make ksa extremely weak"... they're weak because they're small.

Might I suggest giving Perspective.js a look? Supports many of the same visualizations as Muze (and some it doesn't, specifically datagrids), is user-configurable, written in WebAssembly (C++) for extreme performance, and can run trivially on the server via node.js - there is even a CLI version:

I figured HN would be a suitable venue to get technical feedback from a broad audience because the communities I spend the most time in are skewed towards people who use React heavily, and HN felt like a "fairer" sample of devs including both ones who use React and ones who might have tried React and then abandoned it. I'm not actually sure where you think a post would be more effective.

The ~100 points this post has are also not from people who work on React (seeing as there's less than 10 of us). This indicates to me that people here do find this post interesting.

The post you linked also have dozens of comments from people explaining ways it is inaccurate. It's probably those people who flagged it, not us. (This is my first time seeing that post.)

I don't think we're tricking anyone into using React and I think we're always honest about who we are, but I'm sorry that our comments have come off as "shilling" and "astroturfing" to you. It's not why we're here.

I worked at Apple straight out of college for a bit less than 2 years. I left because I worked on a small project that I had trouble connecting to the broader mission, and differences with my manager. Big company experiences will always be heavily situational. You end up on a good team, you’re having a rewarding (personally and professionally) experience. Bad team/manager/whatever, you have a bad time. FAANGS are no different.

I joined a startup after, stayed for many years, they went public, I took some time off, worked at some other startups, and now I’m back at a FAANG. This time, though, I know what to do - and what I want out of working here - so I’m looking forward to a wholly different experience.

I’ll likely throw my hat back into the startup ring in a few years but who knows?

I will say this, I look back fondly on my time at Apple.

You don't even have to look to the big chains or into the future to see this principle in action - in NYC, Seamless/Grubhub/etc have created a whole industry of commissary kitchens operating multiple "restaurants" out of an anonymous, shared prep space, doing all of their business by delivery. I'm sure its probably the same in other similar markets.

(The idea isn't really new, either... even pre-internet, the thousands of food carts and trucks around the city got most of their supplies from shared commissary kitchens who do some degree of prep and cooking far away from where the cart will eventually operate).

We're just watching TechCrunch writers and the investors they write about discover commissary kitchens together.

Even if you think it is unenforceable and even if you have piles of similar cases that were thrown out of court in similar situations, there is still a chance that the court won't throw out your case -- because of some small detail that you didn't notice.

Don't sign stuff if you don't agree with it. It is a risk -- and potentially a very big risk. Even if you happen to win your argument, if the case goes to court, you are on the hook for a large pile of cash. And there is no guarantee that the process will be quick. Your opposition can play any number of underhanded tricks to drag the whole thing out as long as possible, knowing that you can't pay for a lawyer forever. Even if you are able to get get that money back eventually, you may be in for some incredibly rough times in the interim.

When I've had to (because I needed the job), I've signed inventions agreements, non-compete clauses, etc. An inventions agreement basically means that I'll be using your company as a staging point while I look for a non-crappy job. I'll be out of there as soon as I find something better. A non-compete means that you have to pay me for my time. If you have a 1 year non-compete, and I intend to work for you for 3 years, then I want 33% more money than I would ask for someone without a non-compete agreement. I will then use that time to write free software (and, if you can believe it, I literally did that once).

But usually you have a lot more leverage when you are hired than most people think. It's expensive to hire people -- maybe not so bad for juniors, but once you've got 10 years or so under your belt it's a major investment in time, money and energy to hire you. If the legal department cock it up, then they will have hell to pay from the other departments.

Negotiate your contract! I can't stress that enough. Again, there will be times in your life where you have to take what you can get, but weigh your options and make the decision that's good for you. Most of the time, though, this won't be your only opportunity for a job, whereas this is the only opportunity they have to hire you. Use that fact to your advantage.

I think InitialLastName's point was (and it's my recent experience as well), that why the UI, in vehicles at least, may often be "modern" now to a relatively reasonable degree, the whole experience is often just shoddily put together.

I am absolutely up-front about it as well and mention it to my managers and other engs and a lot of them say the same thing.

Either the companies I've worked for over the last 10 years have gone more and more that route or the fact that I don't check email is causing people to not email me.

It's fabulous.
It's especially nice if you want to make it interactive. Imagine a math book written in HMTL and using something like Tangle[1] to create nice interactive examples.

The downside is that displaying formatted equations on the web is still so janky. Images suck balls, Mathjax can be slow and dodgy and adds weight to the page, while browser support for MathML is still not ubiquitous, particularly since some dumbshit at Google decided to nix MathML support[2] in Chrome.

Seems like there is some effort underway[3] to try and get MathML into Chromium which would hopefully result in it winding up in Chrome, but there don't appear to be any guarantees. :-(

Then this is completeley useless. You want this "AI" to discriminate based on a number of things. That's the whole point. You want to find people that can work for you. If a specific school or title is a bad indicator (based on what you hired now), then it just is that.
Is it necessary to run the latest Git release?
I noticed that some linux distros ship with an older version of git. For example, my CentOS7 setup is using 1.8.3.1. As of now, the latest is 2.19. My question is more specific towards the precautions of running older versions of Git that may come preinstalled on a system.

Are there any precautions or issues with running older versions?

What are they and can they pose as a significant threat in your development?

I noticed there are a wide set of tools for git like gitk, git-lfs, etc... Are there older versions of git that may not include these tool sets and therefore require the user to install them manually?

Where do I find release notes per each release of Git?
I was curious what type of hash I would get and !pw took me to pricewatch.com. What am I missing here?
I don't see it as in I don't see anything in Slacks design that seems to be because of what you said.

What incentive does Slack have to focus on metrics like "engagement" rather than building a genuinely useful product. They just charge the customer for it, they aren't an ad driven social network like Facebook where "engagement" actually directly translates to revenue.
> The average tech person has been switching away from Google products

I would like to see something to back that up. HN is not "the average tech person" and even here I have the feeling there are a few people who decided to die on the anti Google hill but it's nowhere near the foregone conclusion you state. A few problems: Firefox wiped the extensions store clean less than a year ago and the long tail didn't, couldn't recover yet. If you are any sort of consultant, Google Docs invitations are par for the course. I might be missing something but Google Mail is still the only mail application with labels instead of folders. A simple and cheap Gsuite subscription gives you infinite storage.
my general thinking about such meteoric rise of, really, any security like btc/amzn/etc is that this is a cognitive mistake our mind does because of labels. the label amazon wasn't 'Amazon' until it showed consistent growth & shrewd judgement over time. the mistake we make is take that mental object we see now and back project on the past while remorse turns off our analytical ability to see all the possible risks associated with it then.

I always remind myself that most public information is already priced into a stock & for every buyer of a stock there is a seller too.
Not really, anyone with a decent amount of experience.
What tech are you guys working with? What's your stance on remote?
Given the lack of MathML support in browsers, I'd have to say that as of today my preferred format is still PDF or Postscript.
I would recommend writing them in something that can be easily converted to a variety of formats, such as markdown, or LaTeX for the more technical subjects. Then you can focus on writing the content, and then convert it to HTML to present it to the reader.
Just had to say thanks [1] , was one of my first reads when learning dc.js and very helpful!
Yeah it is except tech workers in the Bay Area working at FAANGs are nowhere close to average Americans. Senior engineer (5+ years, some leadership, even technical leadership) total comps range from $250-600k plus insane benefits a year at those companies, managers make more. Most FAANGs pay for everything you could want, your only expense paid out of your earnings could be your rent. Those are starting too, excluding refresher grants and assuming zero appreciation over 4 years in the equity.

As others have mentioned it doesn't matter whether or not the contract is binding. The fact that the company could use that contract regardless to take someone to court and drag their reputation/banking accounts through the mud is the reason why they exist.

I went back and forth several times with one employer over some parts of the employee agreement, all very cordial, and ended up never signing it. When I later resigned, the admin emailed me saying that they didn't seem to have a signed agreement on file so could I please sign the one she'd attached. I explained as nicely as I could that the ball had been in their court when it got dropped, and that I wouldn't be signing any version of the document at that point.

I'm not sure I'd recommend that as a deliberate strategy, but it worked out OK for me that time.
I think you'll find the article supports your sentiment to an extent.

One of the key messages we tried to get across is that academic research for co-editing ought to go beyond theoretical analysis but rather drive research by pushing the envelope in new areas of application and/or features. OT's evolution has been symbiotic with new applications, while we haven't seen this in CRDT (for coediting) research. The reality is that you'll find new CRDT papers every year that still (a) make fairly broad claims of benefits are either theoretically dubious or not backed/validated by application/system implementations, (b) dwelling on technical issues that were resolve years ago. To move beyond this, we want to have put these issues in context (a general transformation approach) and dispel the most common fallacies in theoretical analysis.

Related to the 'visual-merging' feature you mentioned, when I worked on making MS Word collaborative as a research project, one of the UX research questions was how to allow users to visualize the different combined effects of updates to objects (e.g. if you changed the background of object X to red and I change it to yellow at the same time). We came up with a multi-versioning technique to display the potentially different combinations and help users select one that's the most desirable. It is definitely a interesting and challenging problem to consider for text documents.
> Since when is a Porsche 911 not ostentatious?

I feel like he answered that question directly, by comparing it to an ostentatious computer. ;)

“And if you think I'm going overboard with the Porsche analogy, you can buy a DGX-1 8x V100 for $120,000 or a Lambda Blade 8x 2080 Ti for $28,000 and have enough left over for a real Porsche 911. Your pick.“

Companies don't go out of business because employees are distracted by chat messages and noisy conversations, they go out of business because employees are working on the wrong thing. Slack still has a lot of work to do if they really want to succeed in their mission, but I also don't think it's entirely fair to judge them (excessively) negatively based on it being distracting because that's not the point.

Authentication is the real issue. We treat SSNs as a lifelong shared “secret” - shared with just about everyone. When so many need to have this “secret”, trying to hide SSNs is futile.

Someone should be able to steal a database of my info and whatever the shared secret is should only be tied to that org, and of course not stored in plain text.

Why should a consumer care who owns the franchise? What difference does that make to me?

If you have a service station with a Starbucks and a Burger King are you saying they both secretly serve the same coffee? I’m sure Starbucks franchise agreements do not allow that and it will be the coffee that Starbucks select and roast (whether you think that’s good or bad), not the coffee Burger King supply. So there is a real difference and a real choice there isn’t there?

They share a loading bay and a till system? Why on earth do care about that?
It depends on how you use it. Split up channels into teams and keep the chit chat to special rooms designated for that. I find chats extremely useful, especially compared to being bothered in person or setting up a time to meet with someone. The key is to use it correctly and hoping your company culture supports that.
