Thanks for your work, really appreciated the RTK perf boost!

What do you recommend instead (or are looking at)?

?

Some of those things in the pipeline like wkwebview-friendly HTTP sound great, would we be able to more easily see requests in the browser Dev tools for instance (a la native browser fetch)? Also can we expect any perf improvements over Cordova (I assume rendering perf would be identical)?

If any senior VoIP/SIP/WebRTC dev is interested, my telemedicine startup just won the tender for building the WebRTC platform used by all hospitals in the Paris region. Includes some cool medical devices data streaming too. We're desperately understaffed so we're offering very competitive compensation, PM me. Stack is React+Node.js+Kurento but could change based on your input.

Agreed. I don't see what is so evil about early returns, they seem very clear to follow to me. Especially with proper IDE syntax highlighting.

so it's just another random visa card without any special discount (cashback) on uber rides? Is there any point to this?

The metric system was first adopted during the French revolution. Why would they base the meter on the british foot? The pied du roi was 324.84mm compared to the UK 296 mm.

Same comment for temperatures. Both scale emerge around the time (mid 1700s). It's not like people switched from Fahrenheit to Celcius...

By cross-platform, do you mean Java-based? Could I use Marvin within a node.js app?

"nice one hackernews, downvoting the most important question in this thread... " We're less than an hour in and the OP question is the top comment... I'm not sure what's so wrong to you about the HN community here?

256 bytes. Insane. Most x86 instructions are 2-3 bytes already (up to 15 in x64!), how much can you even tell the OS in so few words... That's some seriously clever wizardry, congrats.

Also remember that Google brought us HTTP/2 when Microsoft and Apple were completely ignoring the web.

That's a terrible example since both companies contributed to the standard.

congrats Danielle and Kevin (and team!), you guys are awesome :-)

Instead of the overzealous closing, why doesn't SO create a "Stack Overflow Opinions" Stack Exchange site where they move the offending questions?

So win. http://imgur.com/assEhUn

Funny, unlike the original version there is a Civ-like 'keep going' button.

Interesting. What's you definition of a startup then?

I like the flexibility, but I would suggest you add a "generate GUID" button when choosing the group name in case the user does want a random URL, which seems quite likely.

I would absolutely love if you could post the reference of this book here - and I'm sure a couple of other folks would as well! It sounds quite interesting. Thanks a bunch.

WTF are you talking about? You are aware that you are comparing a ~300m country with a ~20m one, right? "It seems like the United States is about an order of magnitude worse". your own numbers prove you otherwise. And that's not even counting the proportion of them that are political prisoners (for posing even the tiniest threat to the regime)...

The title is very wrong and the HN comments so far miss the point that windows is a tiny portion of that deal. I don't know the details, but judging by the products involved, I would say no more than 5-10%. Exchange, Sharepoint, all of Office client and server suites, SQL maybe some private cloud, virtualization, monitoring software, dedicated support, maybe some custom DoD regulatory stuff for records management and whatnot, that's what they're paying for.

I do know that the Army was making extensive use of Sharepoint on the fields in Irak for example.

definitely not a "programmer"... He's an economist and professor at Insead (a top biz school). Here is his profile: http://www.insead.edu/facultyresearch/faculty/profiles/ppark...

"Beginning in March 1998, he launched a private initiative (dubbed the “K to 12 +2 project”) after directing a workshop for the World Bank which considered illiteracy. One aspect of this problem is the lack of educational materials in local languages (the smaller the language in population, the less likely the publishing industry will find it profitable to serve such communities, leaving some 1000 written languages without basic textbooks). Using automated authoring processes he pioneered, his international business publications have funded a variety of multilingual educational materials including a free online multilingual dictionary, PC games, videos and ebooks. He has applied this approach to support projects sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation creating thousands of factsheets (using meta analysis) on tropical plants, and is now working on automated rural radio scripts, call center materials serving smallholder farmers, and SMS content engines working with the GSM Association, the Grameen Foundation, and Farm Radio International in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi and India, among other developing counties. As a hobby, he has applied graph theory to automatically author hundreds of thousands of didactic poems (limericks, sonnets, haiku, acrostics, etc.), and is on working fiction and academic studies."

Interesting research area. Unfortunate that such laudable motivations ended up in so much ridiculous spam... Perhaps a separate category on Amazon or hosting the content on another site would be better for everyone?
