Vue team lead here.

There is a lot of FUD in this thread so we need to clarify a bit:

- This API is purely additive to 2.x and doesn't break anything.

- 3.0 will have a standard build which adds this API on top of 2.x API, and an opt-in "lean build" which drops a number of 2.x APIs for a smaller and faster runtime.

- This is an open RFC, which means it's not set in stone. The whole point of having an RFC is so that users can voice their opinions. It's not like we are shipping this tomorrow.

For more details, we added a Q&A section at the top of the RFC to avoid further confusions: https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/blob/function-apis/active-rfcs...
Here's one from Amazon for $8 that's A4-sized and probably weighs a few grams. Great for magnifying or building a solar oven. If you can find one a meter square, you could probably weld with it in full sun.

Steve, I would agree; you are a large part for that momentum. Community is important, and the SPARK 2014/Ada community has proven itself to be very helpful, and has a long history behind it. I know big business decisions are sometimes made by advocates or evangelists, but you would hope somebody did their pros/cons matrix on top of that one criteria. SPARK 2014 has really surprised me in terms of what it brings to the table aside from Ada's legacy, which is also still evolving.

Ahem, a Trident II missile accelerates to 6km/s in less than 2 min, that’s more than 50g, see [1]

“When the third-stage motor fires, within two minutes of launch, the missile is traveling faster than 20,000 ft/s (6,000 m/s), or 13,600 mph (21,600 km/h) Mach 18.”

Just want to say thank you for what you do. I spent a few days on ECMO in 2005 during the course of a double lung tx and saw some true heroics from the folks keeping me alive. It was a hell of an experience.
Just had my entire battery, keyboard, and trackpad replaced because of this but my serial isn't in the batch :/
I think I feel similarly, but I have almost never actually used chalk.
I've given up trying to get people to understand that writing fundamental code and markup is far easier than CMS/library/framework hopping. My company created two large web sites that you visit at least once a month and no one believes it's HTML and CSS is all handcrafted. To this day I'm still told what we do is impossible even when I showed them the source.

That was years ago when I did that. I won't do it again.
> if you went the more extreme route of forcing the assets/business into the stewardship of the State for the imprisonment term, the "life" of the corporation would need to continue as normal to meet the obligations the Corporation has toward vendors/shareholders, otherwise, they are out of what is rightfully theirs "without due process".

This doesn't apply to imprisonment of humans, right? If I go to prison tomorrow, my employer is deprived of my labor, my skills, and my knowledge without due process and through no fault of their own. Sure, they don't have to pay me, but they're also not going to get back their investment in training me and the institutional knowledge I have of how stuff happens at my company. (I am at-will, as it happens, but I'm pretty sure this is not different if I had a fixed-term contract.)

If you make a deal with someone who goes to prison, and they can't execute on that deal, it's your own problem that you made a bad choice of deal partner. Sure, you can sue for breach of contract, but it won't actually get them to do the thing you were hoping they'd do anytime soon. Why is it different when the corporation is the person with whom you made that deal?
If you're using Google Authenticator and rooted your phone, it's not hard to extract the database and transfer the secrets to your new phone.

I tend to think in terms of static types, so I prefer it, but a lot of people seem to be very productive with dynamic typing.

What's your workflow like? Strict TDD? Runtime contracts? How do you feel when you need to use a statically typed language?
Insurance companies take this seriously and withdraw insurance when senior license holders receive minor tickets for moving violations. The same ticket that would not cause a rate increase for a 30-year-old can be the death knell of a senior's insurance.
Sure, but it the post went "we need a language with great performance, so we chose the second most performant one according to this test.". It was a bit odd.

Full disclosure- I design medical devices like these, including many blood pumps and an ecmo device or two.

Ecmo is just now becoming (semi) widely adopted. Until recently hospitals had to cobble together their own systems from a collection of pumps, oxygenators, tubing and monitoring equipment. Only in the last few years have integrated systems and platforms come to market. These devices are in their first iterations, it's still early times. The hardware tech and medicine are both evolving rapidly and thus so is the standard of care. As is my experience with similar devices in the next ten years the ~50% survival rate will steadily creap up to above 80%, and the adoption will follow.

My experience in another, related space makes me very confident. LVADs, left ventricular assist devices awere once a sci fi dream and are now common, and extremely effective. People with what once was end stage heart failure are able to live for a decade or more having their heart supported by a tiny implanted pump the size of a F battery that spins at thousands of RPMs all day, every day. In many cases it's a better option than a heart transplant. It's so mainstream now that as of a few years ago the two most successful LVAD companies are now divisions of Medtronic and Abbott after large acquisitions.

Next up is ECMO and artificial hearts.

> They could probably use nix to avoid unsafe in FFI with libc.

Though nix also just wraps the FFI unsafe blocks. I'm also very "meh" on nix -- it seemed like a neat project when I first started looking into using it but the interfaces they provide make it harder and less idiomatic to hook into libc.

For instance, all of the *Set interfaces are significantly more annoying to use than just bitwise or in C.

You could also build up a temporary pseudo-account based on an anonymous user's session that could optionally be upgraded to a permanent account with an ID and password at any time.

This is common with e-commerce sites. Many don't require you to make an account to add items to your shopping cart or even to check out. But if you want to make an account, they make it super easy prefilling info they already have, and they certainly won't make you lose what's in your cart.
Thanks!

Companies (even purely algorithmic ones) are not amoral because they are directly impacted by the ethical and unethical behaviors that they choose. So they are not “unconcerned” with the morality of their actions.

Versus for example “technology” which is amoral, because it is itself a tool unaware of the purpose for which it is even being used.

Of course companies are also not immortal, companies “die” all the time.

However, companies certainly can and do act unethically, particularly when there are economic incentives to do so.

A 0.1% of EBITDA fine to Walmart would be hundreds of millions of dollars. They would certainly care about that, and they likely have teams of people who work to ensure compliance for a whole host of regulations which could result in fines at that order of magnitude.

What do you mean by “you can see it when you walk around the streets in here”? Did you spend all your time in central Tokyo? Because all i see around me when i go for a walk are buildings no one seems to care enough to renovate them and honestly it amazes me. All those amazing products you see that come from japan are usually made in a buildings that look like makeshift houses and are built in the middle of a nowhere.

I could never imagine japan being what it is by just from walking around in here.

I'm really happy about the return of the SE sized phone. I had been planning buy used SE's if I needed a replacement of my current one. I've got an iPad Mini that I can take with me if I want a bigger screen. When I don't, it's really nice to have a compact and capable phone that you don't need two hands to use.
In this case, yes that appears to be what happened. The low level employees reportedly raised the issues.

From TFA:

"But even as employees frequently raised alarm, the company’s top leaders did little to prevent Walmart from being involved in bribery and corruption schemes."

Which is why no-one is going to jail, if it were just a low level employee you can bet they would be charged/fired and jailed. But since it went high in the mgmt chain, they likely can't just pin it on someone. The records likely got looked at, discussed off the record, and then got ignored without anyone's fingerprints on them.
It's not clear to me why it would be a fool's errand to make it more portable, cheaper, etc.

Was the iron lung[0] only useful as a bridge?

If you can enable a person to live a normal enough life outside of a hospital, I think this is a worthwhile goal. There are disabilities that make life more difficult to live than needing to carry around your heart/lungs outside of your body.

Is this "Brazilian way" legal in Brazil? If so, there is a decent chance that it is allowed under the FCPA.

Nah, it’s expressive
I mean, if you switch out robots with humans, I'd venture a guess that still half of them would fall for it the same way.
That's a good point. Apple knows every piece of hardware I've purchased from them simply because I've bought into their ecosystem (iCloud, iTunes, etc.) It seems like they should be able to leverage this information to reach out to customers (or even previous) to give them a heads up.
Why do you think that there's no guilty mind here?

I do agree that there is a distinction between a company committing a crime because some individual is screwing things up against the policy of the company and a company committing a crime because it sets out to commit crimes. I don't agree that because a company has no brain that it cannot have a guilty mind. If it incentivizes thousands of its employees to do illegal things, including by putting them in situations where illegal behavior is usual and expecting the usual results, that's on the company.

I have been managing for the past 2 years and my team is up to 8 full time and 2 interns for the summer.

I do not have any formal training as a manager, only as a computer engineer. But I focus on four things for my team.

1) I try to see myself as Archimedes lever. Instead of trying to be a bottle neck and program, I do what ever I can to remove roadblocks for my team.

2) I treat everyone as a person, and I try to keep them happy.

3) I give anyone in the team one on one time if they need it to discuss anything on their mind.

4) I establish how we organize and document the knowledge of our department, and I encourage everyone add to our documentation if they learn something new or if they see a way to improve something. This helps everyone in the team find information they need quickly and it helps with training new hires.
That example isn't relevant here because a cashier pocketing money hurts the company.

The behavior you want to penalize the company for is a cashier quietly doing something illegal that helps the company - and the only reason they would do that is if the company is expecting performance out of them that is difficult to achieve without illegal behavior.

A classic example of this is the Wells Fargo fake account scandal. Managers who set impossible quotas for their salespeople, such that the salespeople felt compelled to steal their customers identities, should be arrested for identity theft, yes.
New species of ancient human discovered in the Philippines: Homo luzonensis
In modern Japanese factories, master craftsmen are referred to as kami-sama, gods. Not, you know, monotheistic or Olympian gods with pretensions to universality, but Shinto gods, the kind of god that might belong to the huge old tree that sticks out above the top of the forest. It's not a sarcastic title; the respect is real. Japanese companies are run by businessmen, just like companies in the US, but they still have to treat the makers with respect.

Probably helps that you can't fire anybody, and if you get a job, that job is likely the one you'll have to live in for life. Workers aren't disposable, and neither are jobs. Karoshi is still a bigger problem than precarización, which is what we call the gig economy here in Argentina.

I think so. If you look at the total amount of code, his total emails and forum posts - there really isn't much. I wouldn't put it past him as a side project given his past. Also most of the code was done by the beginning of 2009 and he stopped posting at the end of 2010. It wasn't until 2012 he was arrested. Given that he was already wealthy and didn't need the attention - he had good reason to stay anonymous.
My guess. Japanese have long valued mastery and specialization. Historically a cast society, people were expected to dedicate their entire lives to the line of work their biological or adopted family was known for.

The country also went to great pains to isolate themselves so this system continued for much longer than other parts of the world where sources of wealth were more diversified. In Japan wealth came from being known as the best at your craft, which fostered a culture of continuous improvement.

In much of Asia perfection of art was seen as a sign of sophistication for the wealthy. But the cultural revolution in China really dampened that for much of China’s sphere of influence.

After WW-II Japan was forced to modernize. Western manufacturing and improvement processes came in. The manufacturing was new but the culture of continuous improvement and mastery was already well established in Japanese culture but didn’t exist in the West where modernization was really a battle between the use of slave labor / child labor vs machines and the concept of continuous improvement was a new thing.

But I wonder, can we say the same about German engineering vs Russian engineering?
My point is that in my experience it depends on the project, and that dynamic languages still have their places. For example if I have to code a few web pages with some data visualisations in D3 I found that going straight with vanilla JS in a text editor is the best tradeoff. Any bug that would have been catched with typing will obviously be catched visually.

I don't challenge the benefits of static typing for more ambitious projects with a constantly updated codebase and multiple developers, or the usefulness of IDE with large codebases or frameworks.
Python and Ruby are extremely malleable, like Smalltalk and lisp before them. You can inspect anything, you can override / replace / proxy anything. You can use a few built-in collection types for nearly anything.

This is by design. This is great for prototyping.

These languages are to programming what breadboards and wires are for electronics.

Of course, as your system grows, you start to want static checks, or having your schematics on a PCB. But at the very start, tweaking a piece of Python code, or a breadboard, is easiest. Then, of course, you may not want to afford a a rewrite to rust, or would put your breadboard in a box and ship it :)
