> Meanwhile Sinovac is being tried for corruption in China, and their defense was actually confirm they paid bribes to officials in various countries to approve their vaccines (not Coronavirus ones, the trial is about 2011 stuff), but claim that the officials (including Instituto Butantã related officials) that used extortion, and thus they are victims, not perpetrators of the crime.

Where can I read about this? Would like to know more about it since the National Government here in the Philippines will use the one created by Sinovac for vaccination and they're trying their best to convince people despite the public skepticism regarding the lower efficacy rates which seems to indicate what you've said.


"In 1985, Mr. Yin, then 21, was the first to isolate the hepatitis A virus, and in 2001, he founded Sinovac Biotech ... From 2002 to 2011, Mr. Yin paid $77,000 to a senior Chinese drug regulator, Yin Hongzhang, and his wife to approve his vaccines, according to a 2018 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing court documents."

Can you give us examples where Alex "overhyped" the language? So far most of the promises he made have been fulfilled / currently work-in-progress.


Scripting is one of V's main features[0]. Just a couple days ago, it was incorporated into the 'master' branch[1] so you can now use it.

I meant compiling and executing V from C++, calling V functions from C++, and C++ function from V.


V produces .c files, which are then compiled to .o files, like C.

Interfacing v code into a C++ app, is like interfacing with any other C library, with the addition, that you may have to write the C headers yourself (or you can cut/paste them from the produced C file).

If you want to call a C++ function from V, you have to export it from the C++ side, like you would do for a C app: extern "C" { int your_function(int x) } ... and then call it from the V side like any other C function. (https://vlang.io/docs#calling_c)


Mozilla supports WebExtensions since 57+ afaik. Not sure about this if there are some differences in implementation and API's between Firefox's WebExt and Chrome's.


MDN has a page documenting differences in API support between major WebExtension browsers:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...


I don't think Firefox Sync is a disaster. In fact, it's the opposite. They managed to handle the service pretty well.


not originally. when sync first came out, and for a while after, it was a dumpster fire.

that being said, it is load better now.


Want to get this phone so badly. Won't care about the moving of shipping date at all as long as they delivered the phone with little to no problems, I'm good. (If I we're to order one)
