We seem to be at the limit of the fastest fastball. http://www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/sports/a6063/how-t...

"However, even if the radar gun used last Friday gave Chapman 5 mph, his pitch still flirted with the maximum speed a human can throw a baseball, which Fleisig says is about 100 mph. Fleisig has found that adjustments to a pitcher's biomechanics, as well as better conditioning of the entire kinetic chain from the legs to the core to the arm, can improve a pitcher's velocity on his fastball. But he's discovered that as the pitcher approaches 100 mph, these tweaks and strengthening have diminishing returns.

"Another cause of the 100-mph ceiling owes to this: the amount of torque needed to throw in excess of the century mark is greater than the amount of force the ulnar collateral ligament (the elbow ligament Strasburg tore) can withstand before giving out, according to tests Fleisig has done on cadavers.

An addition quote from http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/17/sports/baseball/harveys-in... .

"Fleisig, a biomedical engineer, knows what an arm can handle, and years of research give him the confidence to answer one of baseball’s more intriguing questions: Is there a limit to how fast a human being can throw?

"His answer: Yes, there is.

"And, he adds: That limit already has been reached.

"“Oh, there may be an outlier, one exception here or there,” he said. “But for major league baseball pitchers as a group of elites, the top isn’t going to go up anymore. With better conditioning and nutrition and mechanics, more pitchers will be toward that top, throwing at 95 or 100. But the top has topped out.”"

Not necessarily. Identity politics is when issues get defacto interpreted through the lens of social identities, even if that identity is irrelevant or even meaningless for the matter at hand.

Observing that there is such a thing as nerd culture does not really qualify. It typifies a particular set of practices and norms that set it apart from more mainstream sensibilities.

Maybe they're going liquid hydrogen for the fuel? Or another cryogenic? That gives you a lot of "waste cold" that you can use for cooling charge air and the rest of the engine.

I'm a big fan of LH2 planes. Tupolev actually built one just before the wall fell [1]. Airbus did a big concept study in the 2000s that indicated it would be on par with normal airliners once you eked out all the optimizations.

Then everyone decided to go gradual biofuel phase-in instead, which I'm decidedly skeptical of. Sure I get that the CAPEX of going LH2 is a lot worse, so for someone optimizing on a < 10 year horizon it looks better. But are biofuels really going to get us all the way we need to go eventually?

"even some leached from the bottle itself" - Intriguing, I've not heard that before said about glass. Do you have any more info on that? Or are you talking about a potential to oxidise in the bottle.

Edit: Just found this http://whiskyscience.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/bottle-maturatio...

"First, the water condensed from the humid air causes mainly sodium to leach out of the glass" - Wow! I thought glass was kind of 'inert' with ethanol at least.
Quit my first job (software engineer) after 5 months.

I was burned out, not only from the work, but from spending my entire life following orders - from school to the workplace. So I quit my job after 5 months despite the fact that that's considered sacrilege, with maybe $13k in my bank account.

I spent the next 3 months pursuing nothing but my hobby at the time (music production). The first month was possibly the best month of my entire life. It was the first time I truly felt free - no homework, no stress of finding a job, no having to be in an office from 9:30-5:30 M-F.

Then I ran out of money, so I had to start applying for jobs again. Ended up getting a much better job (both pay-wise and quality-wise), so it worked out.

Now I'm burned out again and completely sick of working in this industry. The day-to-day work is boring as hell, and I couldn't care less about Javascript frameworks. I hate having to spend the bulk of my waking hours in the prison of an office.

But I continue working because I'm saving a lot of money every month. Currently have almost $100k in the bank. After this job, I'm going to take at least a good year off to do what I want to do, not what the labor markets force me to. I have a lot of passion in certain areas that I'm not able to devote full attention to due to work. I want to have a much greater positive impact on the world than being some menial code monkey working on proprietary software or a corporate Kool-Aid drinking cock sucker.

I've realized that I will never be happy in a traditional job. Being subservient and following orders is not in my nature.
But the funnel till this point you mention is MUCH cheaper on the web than on mobile (where people also install and deinstall right away or never use that app). And this 'being cheaper' is the whole discussion around.

"Last time I checked shareholders and your bottom line don't care about social value unless that is the product you're in the business of providing."

There's something called "Ethical Investing" (aka "Socially responsible investing", "sustainable investing" or "resposible investing").[1]

Its existence is clear proof that at least some investors do care about the social value of the companies and products they invest in.

I watched those talks live.

Since October 2016 there is radio silence on the actual state of C++/WinRT, including the status of feature parity with C++/CX for XAML, Blend and creation of UWP components.

VS 2017 already had two releases since those presentations.

The only Microsoft talk at CppCon 2017 are about VS Code support for C++ and ANSI C++ compliance, nothing relevant to actual Windows 10 application development.

Any long time Windows developer is recognising the signs that UWP is turning into what Longhorn aspired to be, just remains to be seen how willing Microsoft is to keep pushing it.

Marko is faster and lighter. Also the syntax of single file components is more minimalistic than Vue, which is a good thing.

I'd say there is no interest because the single file components are quite new, and before that the project was focused on being a really fast templating engine.

Check this presentation about Marko, I found it illuminating.

You have an opinion about Nazism. You certainly do know less than someone who has read Mein Kampf, so your opinion is to be discarded versus someone like Noam Chomsky's. Who probably has read Mein Kampf. As long as you accept that, and accept why some outsider would take Chomsky's take on Nazism over yours, then we're on the same page.

I do think society would benefit greatly if we cut out the masses who have strong opinions on subjects they haven't even bothered to read.

Your Nazism opinion for example, doesn't sound like it's based on much other than trendiness. If it were 1935 and you were in the environment where it were popular- someone like yourself would probably would be Sieg Heiling with your jackboots on, in all seriousness.
I really don't want to sound like a jerk here, but I'm confused as to why anyone would need extra motivation to do their job. Isn't the satisfaction of shipping a feature already enough to motivate?
I'm sure there's a law that no matter how carefully you proofread something, you'll find at least one typo the first time you read it after it's been published.
Can you elaborate on their claim for specific damages? How could a temporary change to robots.txt cause millions of dollars in damage? (Assuming you weren't telling Google to de-index TripAdvisor or some other huge SEO-dependant site.)
Speak for yourself haha. This is a matter of trajectory. As you get older, you'll follow the trajectory you maintain. I exercise creativity more than fitness and I feel incredible hahahaha.

Here's the key: Balance practice with theory.

It's very sad to see so many people correlate creativity with childishness. What a farce!

Kids are an amazing source of inspiration, and I make a point to cherish every moment around them. But, as you grow, you will probably develop more rigid understandings of the world and society. There's little there that means you are less creative; quite the contrary. But, maybe it's less likely you are exercising it. There are a lot of misnomers out there these days, and the understandings are not found where they should be (like art school).

The point about process is one of the hardest parts these days. Rare alternative art histories offer radically different interpretations of creativity, and they are usually more archaeologically/anthropologically sound as well. Either way, our hurdles are related to many modern cultural trends like habitual idolization, genius fantasies, missed relationships with time and presence. It's a hard one and I have struggled with it a lot, so know you're not alone. The reality is that art is so rarely abstracted in the mind devoid of medium and time. Art is an interaction with materials and process BUT NOT an obsession with them. Obsess on other things. The gap in the middle harbors what we call the creativity. If you don't maintain the boundaries, you won't maintain the gap. Or, if you focus on creativity, you're missing the point and just getting older.

Good luck!!! Oh and put yourself into art history because it's all interpreted anyhow. "We don't know! Let's find out!"

There is no analog between the President Trump being elected and What happened during the lead up to the Civil War. That is absurd.

Further the idea that Trump is a threat to Military, Manufacturing, or many other industries is equally absurd, you may have a small case for Tech but I think that is over stated.

Trump is a HUGE supporter of Military and by extension military contractors, wanting to increase the military expenditure by large margin.

Protectionist policies often Aid US Manufacturing at the expense of Cheap Imports from China, so US Manufacturer, actual manufacturers that are making stuff in the US, not Foreign importers which are often confused as "Manufacturers" support Trump

I happily used Angular 1 for a few things. When it became clear that Angular 2 was the party line, I looked at it and unfortunately found an overengineered framework chasing what React was.

I looked at React, but without a cohesive framework, that ecosystem is just a bit too much of a mess. A gazillion starter app templates that can't quite agree and always seem a little out of date with the fast moving components. JSX is just ugly. At least to me. I regularly use Django templates, so the clean leap to Handlebars-style templates feels very natural to me. Redux is straight up unapproachable to someone new to the concepts, but at the same time it feels like it simply reinvents events and event handlers.

Vue was a revelation. It is simple, cohesive and I feel productive.
Why isn't OmiseGo listed?
Lord, you are really married to the "how many billion dollar companies have you built?" straw man.

I've only built one $100M company (founded three VC backed startups that were valued at over $10M), does that make me unqualified or qualified? Travis has built a billion dollar company, but not yet made it successful, not only is Uber is hemorrhaging money but he was forced to resign out of fear his presence would queer their next round they'll desperately need.

My companies made it to profitability. So does that make me even more qualified than him?

When you are CEO, your job is to keep everyone focused on their jobs while you are focused on the big picture. You are allocating resources to increase the companies value, while also minimizing the biggest risks to that value.

When you are already the market leader, and already have billions in funding, you have created lots of value, and have minimized the risk of running out of cash before you're done building out your market. So what other risks do you have? Governmental regulation, brand damage, etc, hurting your growth and costing you installed base.

Travis led by telling people to take risks, to cut corners. The results were lots of damage to the brand and emboldening opponents who could push for government regulation.

Go through some examples
1) Threatening to surveil some inconsequential twit at Pando Daily so it could blow up into a big story about creepy Uber. Like Trump Administration level idiocy.

2) An HR staff that hid complaints of harassment to protect key engineers. When you have $7B in funding and a massive lead in app installs worldwide, no engineer is key, your brand is key.

3) Numerous instances of showing they can surveil people they don't like by tracking their uber rides.

4) He also distracted his teams, they have close to 100 different side businesses they've launched over the last few years, many of which have nothing to do with making the main Uber service you've been funded to build any better.

5) The Waymo suit. Autonomous cars right now a distraction, when they are finally ready they'll be freely available. The company with the largest market share and best brand should be able to easily adopt them. Travis poured a ton of resources into this acquisition and hired a guy who took the 5th amendment when deposed. Either Travis is duplicitous or he's incompetent for spending that much time and money on someone he didn't know was dirty and would possibly cost them an IP theft lawsuit.

6) Yelling at an Uber driver.

7) etc, etc, so many more examples in the same vein.

All of these hurt the brand, hurt the growth, hurt the installed base. It's his #1 priority to build all of those, and make Uber a service people are happy to have on their phones. Yet Uber is constantly in the news because of brand damaging behavior. Is your contention that because someone arbitrarily gave him a valuation over $1B that all this was good for Uber and he has some secret plan to generate horrible PR to improve the business?
Car mechanics tell you that you need a new transmission when you need a new transmission.
> Quick note: The situation is not different on Linux, MacOS, or other operating systems because all executable formats have some way to embed images. What publishers should do is remove unncessary metadata before publishing, which is easy to do in the case of the PNG because we can simply omit the iTXt chunk.

From your link - so I guess the situation on linux isn't different? Or am I missing something, other than that it depends on the embedded PNG?

I know I should be "deferring to Wiles" here too, since you are oblivious to what's being said in response. There are certain things that we take for granted: like gravity. Or a round Earth. If some flat-earther comes over and starts asking you to prove that the Earth is flat, or that gravity is not just little gremlins pulling on your jeans, then I think it's safe to "defer to an expert".
I find the JSX loop infinitely easier to understand what's going on. It's a javascript map. With your Vue example, what is listItem? An array? Can it be an object? Does listItem need a special decorator for v-for to be able to loop through it?

So many initial questions that just aren't there if you just use Javascript.
> shaving another second off a sprint does not it seems encourage millions to get off the couch

I'm not disagreeing, though something has caused millions to get off the couch.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported in December 2012 the number of Australians jogging or running as a sport or recreation has almost doubled since 2005–06.[1]

In the US, in 2015 there were a total of 30,300 races, up 8% from 28,000 in 2014 with 17.1 million finishers reported across all road race distances.[2]

I agree, it is a pathetic litmus test. It still sounds like a very high bar for the majority of people though, right. Good luck finding people who have even read one book on a subject they're so angry about they'd punch you over it. It really demonstrates interest, not expertise, and potentially not even a well rounded opinion as you stated.
I'm currently investigating Vue to see how it compares to the current React code I have. So far I'm liking it.

The main things that I like so far;

* Single file components - I actually really like this, I find it much easier on my brain to have everything related to a component in the same file.

* The router and data modules - having the router and Vuex as "official" parts of the ecosystem (as opposed to in React where they are "adopted") means that everything just clicks.

* Styling - when I first started out with React, it was a pain to find a nice way to do CSS - do you use modules? Just have files that you import? Inline? Having it automatically scope the styling to the component if wanted, or using modules if thats your thing - is so much nicer than having to think about it. I just add <style lang="scss" scoped> and I don't have to worry.

The only downside I have at the moment, is having to learn the "v-" bindings (which is what put me off Angular when it first came out) but I think that it is something I can live with. Although you can use JSX and have a render method so I might try that and see how that flows for me.
Great comment and exactly right. Kudos. Look at all these companies, Google and company who seek to "do no evil" except they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes using every loophole and deduction available.

When I donate to charity I don't take tax deductions. It never made sense to me. I donate because it's right. Not because it will reduce my taxable income.
That's not really accurate. Chomsky's "key statement" at the very beginning of the thread refers to studies that have demonstrated "white supremacy that is more rampant here even than it was in apartheid South Africa." That, despite the experience of racism being a naked fact that anyone with eyes can see should they make a modicum of effort to break out of their "white racist cocoon". But these studies would presumably detail how white supremacy works, for those that need it explained.

He implies that these studies are readily available, alongside "a huge literature of professional criminology," for anyone willing to look. What he's facing here is an interlocutor that isn't interested in doing the research or following logic, just citing right-wing op-eds.
It's not just four years into launch since the PS3 was at least as bad.
Ultimately you can, but your JSX code becomes more difficult to read and write.

> you can write cleaner code by separating your logic/UI

That's precisely the point of using a templating language: separation of concerns.

JSX mixes producing markup with your component logic.

> This look more like a rant overall.

There is a difference between an opinion and a rant. I really won't debate whether Vue is superior to React, I'm just stating why I prefer it.
Counterpoint: Qt has done a terrible/non-existent job of this for iOS. Qt/QML apps look and feel pretty native on MacOS, and Qt & Qt Quick controls on Android devices look very close to Android native, but they've barely even attempted to implement iOS-looking controls. (It's bizarre how little interest they seem to have in supporting iOS. I don't know if it's because iOS doesn't have the styling APIs they need or what.) There is a third-party framework that partially addresses iOS issues (https://v-play.net/qt), but that's not an ideal solution.

For some applications (including the one I'm currently working on), you can get away with having nearly the same UI on Android and iOS, with just a little extra work to (for instance) give iOS users a more native-feeling navigation experience.

In regards to Flutter, I'm not sure if it's reasonable to expect the Flutter project to do a better job simulating native iOS widgets than Qt has been able to.
Great, here are my thoughts on it

1. Render methods make vue basically the same as React plus MobX, right? (and afaik you can use JSX too)

2. The spinner component was registered in the global scope. Will normal build tools know about the file and properly include it, or an import will need to be placed somewhere for that to work? What happens if another module registers a "spinner" component? ES6 and CommonJS modules have already solved this elegantly, and I believe its a must for larger scale applications that may consist of multiple complex modules

3. I see many wheels being reinvented, and as a non-vue user I have no idea what they mean. For example, does `<template scope="data">` name the first argument passed to the function? Is `default` the name of the first unnamed template? And this page is utterly baffling: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#Scoped-Slots as I cannot figure out which thing is the template that is being passed arguments and which is doing the passing (and how).

edit: re (3) I finally got it, a `template`'s `scope` gives the props passed to a `slot` a name.

It seems to me that templates look like less learning initially, but they end up being more...
