Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said his city is becoming a hub for cryptocurrency companies, noting that all cities need to position themselves to “embrace the tech economy.” After the world’s biggest bitcoin conference, cryptocurrency companies will flock to Miami.

Crypto Hedge Fund Manager: Musk Has Too Much Influence on Bitcoin Price

According to LiveBitcoinNews, crypto hedge fund manager Kevin Kang said in an interview that Musk definitely has too much influence on the price of bitcoin. While Kang is certainly unhappy with how Musk uses his power, he admits that what Musk is doing is no different from what many powerful investors do in the standard market. He also believes that while Musk is an influential figure right now, that’s mainly because bitcoin is still an emerging and developing asset class, and that eventually bitcoin will be “immune” to any negative sentiment Musk wants to spread.

Waking up to a sunny (and hot) morning, I started my day with some ongoing onboarding activities that had been going on since the last few weeks. After around an hour, mum came upstairs for some work and scolded me for sitting in front of the laptop even on a weekend and asked me to get up in order to avoid any back injury owing to prolonged sitting postures — I seriously need to do something to enable a makeshift standing desk (no such desk is deliverable in my location at the moment). After helping her with some clothe stuffing into a cabinet, I went out with my little brother for some essential’s shopping-damn it was hot today.

Upon returning, the lil one cooked up a fiery and insanely tasty Chicken Masala dish-he is seriously a great cook when it comes to all this stuff. After lunch, tried to take a nap but owing to lack of space downstairs (all the other rooms were being renovated at the moment), I got up to make space for mum and went upstairs, scrolled through some Instagram feed and finally sat down to watch Shadow and Bone in Netflix. So far, I’m liking the overall story build-up.

At around 5:30 PM, I started stretching followed by a couple of push-ups, stomach crunches and planks. After that, received a call from one of my cousins who needed help with his resume building-spent around 3 to 3.5 hours working on his resume post which I had my dinner.

After coming to my room, searched a while for a big-ass monitors to aid my work, still undecided whether to buy it now or wait considering the price and duration of myself staying at one place. Will hit up a reseller market place to check if any good monitors are available at a reasonable price.

Once the monitor search was over, I started my journal you’re reading now.

Wrapping up the journal for the day, thank you for your time.

So started the morning, at 9 AM for me-late and to a sunny weather. Freshening up, we decided to do a visit to one of our sister’s home who recently shifted to a new home. At around 11 AM, me and the lil boss got ready, bought some food for cooking at lunch and went towards our destination.

Our first niece is a cute one-I troubled him a lot on reaching the place, all of us chatted over cups of tea and then finally began the preparation for lunch in parallel to watching some movie. At around 2 PM we had a hearty meal and then went off to have an afternoon siesta. I woke up around 4 PM-quite surprisingly I dozed off quite heavily today with some dreams of large snails shooting lasers 😝.

Returning home at around 5 PM, both of us helped mum with some shifting work in the rooms where the renovation was complete. Finally at around 6 to 6:30 PM we got free, I freshened up and went upstairs to relax and catch up with a few episodes of Netflix’s Shadow and Bone. Post-dinner, I published yesterday’s journal (which was a late upload owing to network connectivity), explored some ways for increasing my writing practice and finally got into journaling today’s journey.

Thank you for your time.

See you tomorrow!!!

Spring da
By: Pam Moore Gainer
Tags: Creativity, Writing, Daily Blog

There is something about a beautiful spring day, isn’t there? It feels like possibility.

Wes had baseball practice this morning so I took the opportunity to visit the library. I got to say hi to my friend, who just happens to be our town’s youth services librarian. And then I walked down into town for a bit and picked up an iced matcha latte with oat milk. (I’ve only recently discovered matcha and wondering why nobody told me about this delicious beverage!?) And then I walked back up to the library, sat outside on their patio and did some writing/staring off into space.

The afternoon was a bit of a blur but I did decide to start a little fire on our patio at about 4:00. My brother and Laura and the boys came over and hung out. It was a nice little end to the day.

I read this today:

Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you’re afraid of, getting our of your comfort zone, taking risks like that — that’s what life is. You might find out something about yourself that’s really special. If you’re not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself.

-Amy Poehler

Thanks for reading today’s entry in my daily blog. My goal here is to practice noticing. I try to write about small things and I try to keep it light. Sometimes I write about creativity or healing. And sometimes I write about my dogs or what I cooked for dinner. Writing daily here is a way for me to shine a light back on my life and help me see.

Backstage at a funeral

Backstage at a funeral

Whenever I watch a big event happening I always wonder what things look like backstage. That is the most interesting part to me. Today I am “backstage” for a funeral for a young highway patrol officer. When I arrived 5–6 officers were parked in the church lot, some pacing around the cars. Some on their phones. I came in because my role here today is being the BFF to the sister of the deceased. I keep making lots of notes about my experiences these last few days and I imagine there will be future posts about it. Today I am interested in “backstage.”

As I set up a screen and projector to run a slideshow of photographs, that small group of officers came inside too. And they started rehearsing. Together they figured out how many steps stage right to take before the turn. It is theatre. It is dance. I feel so lucky to be witnessing it.

Now there are close to 20 officers. Sometimes they stand around and laugh and tell stories. Sometimes they break from that for that one guy who needs to go over the protocol again. A few moments ago, they all gathered around a phone to watch a YouTube video of a 21 gun salute so that they will remember what to do when they get to the cemetery.

Now they are going over the movements of taking and folding the flag. What words will be said, when do we turn, how do we hold it?

The preparations were interrupted when one officer (I’m sure some of them have higher ranks. I’ve heard “hi captain!”) brought in a small piece of cardboard that looked like it have Velcro straps on it. He went around to each man and gave him a small piece of black cloth that they then helped each other place around their badges to signify the fallen officer.

It was at this moment that it truly felt like backstage for a play production. The community working together to help each other get dressed. These are “big and burly men.” They look so gentle as they lean in to each other to make sure the black stripe is placed properly. They are quiet as they do. It is a sacred act. They seem not to care that I am sitting nearby on the front pew watching. I am the only person here to see it.

What an incredible gift this is.

(trigger alert)

My first thought when reading this was “Hell yeah, it’s cheating!”

Possibly because my now-almost-30 year marriage was threatened by virtual cheating. The chat rooms he visited were supposedly “innocent” but he was spending more time with them at night than with me, and if I walked into the room while he was in one of them, he’d log off.

Yes — it’s still cheating. The fact that he’s keeping the interactions (ostensibly) a secret and NOT telling his girlfriend means HE feels some kind of way about it, and probably knows she wouldn’t approve or accept it.

I also understand the desire NOT to get in the middle of their relationship — and not wanting to be the one “at fault” for reporting his conduct. I tend to agree with the advice you’ve been given to tell HIM (your roommate) that what he’s doing is foul, but I’d go a step further.

Give him a deadline — either he shuts off the contact with the side chick, or he comes clean with his main girlfriend, or you’ll find a way to let her know.

Karma is a bitch, and she really doesn’t care much for cheaters.
Plagiarism and Cheating
Tags: Cheating, Education, Examination, Plagiarism

I’ve never cheated in exams. Except on two occasions.

My networks professor gave us a pop quiz. I think it was a problem on Thevenin’s circuit. I am embarrassed to admit it — I hadn’t understood the concept well enough to apply it. So I sat there blank. Looking at the board. The dude next to me nudged me and asked me to copy.

I was bamboozled.

I’ve never done this before. But the dude expected me to scurry and so I did and submitted it. That’s how I lost my copyginty.

I think I got through the Kerala Engineering Entrance Exam because I’m super fast at computational math. Engineering problems arent about computation. They are about using mathematical systems to frame problems and approach them in a new light. Now as I look back, It is only natural that I failed.

I grew up in an atmosphere relatively okay with failure.

I used to participate a lot in events at school. I used to fail singing competitions, poetry, elocution. The list goes on. But here is the thing. I feel strange when I use the word fail.

That is not the schooling culture I grew up in. Fail is used as a loaded word. It is mostly used to devalue people and their effort.

Then there was the second time, in college.

You see I wanted to join a University. Do Liberal Arts. Learn to write. The dreams of a middle-class kid who watched too many Harward lectures on Youtube. Live a poor life, at the cost of living an examined life.

But I got a government Engineering college. Government Engineering Colleges was trending then. The first rule of college. You have to appropriate the dreams of your college peers if you need to survive.

I glided across my semesters living the Liberal Arts dream. I read a lot. I learned to play the guitar. I learned to edit videos. I read more and more. I wrote.

And so exams were terrible. I would barely pass.

And then there was this exam, and I would have failed. Failure becomes a horrible thing because, if you fail you don’t get placed.

School → Class 10 →Class 12 →Entrance exam → College →GPA →Graduation →Placement →Marriage →Children .

The race then repeats. I would be left out if I fail. For years I secured my copyginity. I’ve seen copy-orgies. I’ve seen copy-rapes. I’ve seen Causal-copying.

But I’ve never. And then for the eventful lab exam, My machine failed to give me the desired results. I was frustrated.

So I ‘tssk…’ ed the guy sitting next to me and asked him to help.

He helped. Though he was initially shocked because I was acting like a drug peddler.

But I couldn’t sleep that day, or for the next few days.

That’s it.

So far I’ve found only one friend who hasn’t ever cheated in an exam.

It irks me to think of copying.

Examinations are a game you play. You have to play nice in the games. You have to play by the rules. But what if every other player agrees to sabotage the rules?

Shedding Some Light on Ray Tracing
By: Acm Roorkee
Tags: Rendering, Graphics, Computer Science, Computer Graphics

For starters, rather than straight-up jumping into what ray tracing is and how it works, let’s try to understand how traditional computer graphics and rendering techniques work.

Rasterization

Rasterization is probably the most commonly used rendering algorithm.

Images in computer graphics are presented on some kind of “raster display”. Raster displays show images as rectangular arrays of pixels, the monitor you are using is an example of a raster display, which is made up of an array of “pixels” (short for picture element), these pixels can be set to different colours(RGB) to achieve any desired output image.

In rasterization the GPU, is fed with instructions to “render”(draw) 3D scenes onto 2D planes using simple polygons(triangles are the most widely used ones, though a few other polygons are also often used), these polygons are then “rasterized”(transformed) onto individual pixels, and then further processes such as colouring, shading, textures are added on top of it.

One nice trick that rasterization uses to render 3D objects and scenes is that it associates every vertex/polygon with a depth factor, meaning when viewing objects from different angles, only that part is visible which is at the top.

Vertices (and by extension polygons formed due to these vertices) located nearer to the “camera” are drawn above objects located far from the camera. The depth factor is inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the camera.

The process of calculating the vertices that make up the object, then joining them to make polygons, and then applying textures and shading is part of a special software-hardware subsystem called the Graphics Pipeline, and these are usually implemented using graphics API (a few of them are OpenGL, Vulkan etc..).

Phew!.. now that rasterization is out of the way, why don’t we have a look where traditional rasterization lacks…

As you might have been able to point out, the most notable difference is that, since rasterization is geometry-based rendering, simulating real-life or photorealistic imagery through rasterization is quite difficult.

For example simulating reflections, refractions, realistic shadows and textures are difficult through rasterization, because this method has a hard time tracking exactly how light should bounce in and around an image space.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Will Get Texture and Framerate Upgrades Nightshade Follow Jul 4 · 2 min read

The Pokémon Company

None of us were happy to see the ‘N64 tree’ return in the Pokémon Legends: Arceus reveal trailer.

The infamous tree

Not to mention the stuttering Pokémon animations. But one thing is for sure, what they revealed was clearly an ‘early alpha’ of the game. Which GameFreak will improve by the time it releases.

We have seen the Dynamax battles in earlier reveals of Pokémon Sword & Shield having a similar texture and design issue. But most of it was addressed at launch, and a few more improvements came in later as updates.

You might have also noticed how some scenes had better textures and framerates in the trailer—especially the battle sequence between Gallade and Garchomp. And the N64 tree did not appear here either.

Garchomp vs. Gallade: Open world battle

An interesting leak on Twitter also confirms that Legends Arceus will get better framerates, fluid animations, and some texture improvements.

It so looks like all is not lost yet, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus might turn out to be the legendary Pokémon game we all waited for

Design Factoids

The meaning behind some of the graphic selections for the Period Gold app.

We’re proud to say that we’re simple and we focus on the bright side. Our main goal was to create a fun, straightforward space for becoming more curious about our cycles. So even though we craved for the interface to be clean, minimalistic and editorial, we also wanted for it to have tons of cultural personality. For us, that meant cool iconography. As designers, we rarely talk about the symbolism behind the small but meaningful details we select each day as graphic representations for our projects. Sometimes we select them intentionally, other times we don’t — regardless, all icons are tied to important symbolic meanings. We’re here to talk about the ones behind the key graphic players within our product.

Did you know that the traditional smiley face was designed by American commercial artist Harvey Ball to boost employee morale? He made it for an insurance company, which paid him around $50 for the gig. We’ve loved it since Forrest Gump, and every moment before and after emojis. We’d already selected the brand color to be a shade of egg yolk yellow that seemed to be a perfect match with the iconic figure. A smiley face look-alike was a no brainer for us to represent the type of feeling we wanted to evoke in our users when heading to their profiles.
What is the difference between hertz and fps
Tags: Gaming, PC, Graphics, Technology, Pc Gaming

A lot of people get mixed up with the difference between hertz and fps(Frames Per Second). Hertz is the amount of fps your monitor can do, while fps is the number of frames your pc can do. In this article I am going to go in depth in explaining the difference between hertz and fps.

What’s fps?

Let’s start off by figuring out what frames per second (fps) is. It is the number of frames you get per second, with the average fps(frames per second) being around 60–120. To clarify, frames are the image of your display each second. They are important because in order to see what your computer/monitor displays, the frames makes this happen by allowing your computer to display a certain amount of images per second. Now how do you get higher fps(frames per second)? To get higher frames you need a better GPU(graphics processing unit) or most commonly known as a graphics card; the graphics card is the component in your computer that makes your screen look better and fps higher.

What’s hertz?

Hertz is used for measuring the number of times that your display will update new information(refresh rate). Whilst the human eye can only see 24 fps, there is a noticeable difference in smoothness. For instance, it adds extra images to the objects in detail such as clothes moving when the person walks or does any actions. The background is also a noticeable difference by its smoothness and being more clear, with examples such as how the trees move and how the clouds slightly move while characters interact in games; therefore, making the background more realistic or natural.

How to get higher fps

To get higher fps you either need to lower your games settings or purchase a better GPU(graphics processing unit). For example a Rx 580, which is the best value GPU you can purchase, if you’re on a laptop, I would suggest buying and external GPU witch you can plug into your laptop but these come a little pricey going around $500 Aud.

Is it really worth it

Is it really worth it to buy a GPU/external GPU? Well if you are just trying to run some low fps games like Minecraft/Roblox ect I would suggest not to buy a better GPU or external GPU because there won’t be that much of a noticeable difference. If you are planning on playing higher fps games like Call Of Duty 4, GTA 5 ect, I would suggest purchasing a GPU/external GPU for your pc because there will be a really noticeable difference if you do.

Running GUI Apps on a Docker Container
By: Bhavesh Kakrotra
Tags: Linux, Containers, Graphics, Docker, Technology

Running GUI Containers on docker in 5 easy steps

Step 1: Install Docker

To be able to launch a container you need to first have Docker installed. On your host OS (preferably Linux) get Docker installed and then move on to the next step.

Step 2: Pull an image

Download a container image of your choice from Docker Hub. In this blog I am using CentOS image.

To pull the image from Docker Hub type

docker pull centos

docker images

This command will show you the images you have in your local system.

Step 3: Create the container

Method 1:

Launch a container using docker run command

docker run -dit --name centos_gui --env=’Display’ --net=host centos:latest

Here, the run subcommand is used to launch the container, -i to make it interactive, -t to get the terminal, and -d to daemonize it. We use --env to set the environment variable DISPLAY and --net to connect the container to the host network.

Method 2:

Set the DISPLAY environment variable on the host OS with your network:

set-variable -name DISPLAY -value YOUR-IP:0.0

And then finally launch the container using

docker run -dit --env=DISPLAY=$DISPLAY

Here we have manually set the environment variable.

docker ps

This command shows running containers

Step 4: Install GUI application inside the container

Attach the container to go inside the container’s terminal. To do so, type:

docker attach centos_gui

Now you are inside the container’s terminal.

Next, install a GUI application using a package manager. In our case since we have CentOS, we will be using the yum command.

yum install firefox

Step 5: Running the application

As we have already specified the DISPLAY environment variable while launching the container, now all we have to do is just run the app normally.

firefox

In a while, the GUI of the app will show up something like this.

We have successfully launched firefox GUI over a docker container!

4 Graphic Novels That Will Take Your Knowledge About Countries and Their Culture to a New Level

Novels that paints unforgettable portraiture of the daily life of people through the most engaging and informative illustrations Lokajit Tikayatray Follow Jun 22 · 7 min read

I love reading books, especially those with pictorial narratives. All through my childhood, every month, I eagerly waited for the issue of Chandamama, a classic Indian children’s magazine famous for its stories with illustrations.

I relish reading books about life, society, culture, and human nature in general. Books on these subjects help me learn about beautiful people and their culture that I would have otherwise remained ignorant of.

Combining my preference of topics and the yearnings for good illustration, no wonder I crave reading graphic novels.

To date, I have the privilege of reading many wonderful authors that have portrayed countries and their culture through vivid graphical images in their novels. These books have helped me broaden my understanding of people and their circumstances in different parts of the world.

Here are four great graphic novels amongst them that I am sure you will love to read.

Tags: Bugs, Fortnite, Gaming, Graphics, Bug Fixes

As my first post on Medium i will address a Fortnite Bug that has occurred to me ever since Halloween 2020.

I am running Fortnite on a fairly decent PC with a NVIDIA graphics card. Up until this Bug, i could play it with all settings at epic, without any problem whatsoever.

Then, all the sudden it started lagging dramatically, rendering the game unplayable. Having tried numerous attempts to fix it, including re-installing the game and drivers and adjusting the game-settings i finally gave up and started playing other games.

Fast forward, now in May 2021 i decided to give Fortnite a second chance. At first all went well, but after a few games the Bug re-occurred.

What a bummer.

Fortnite Lagging

I turned on the Debugging Settings in Fortnite to see the FPS and Bandwith Information.

Interestingly now i could clearly see that joining a Game first, i have got around 50 FPS which drop down to around 10 FPS after a few seconds in the game.

So the Problem was finally identified:

**Low FPS**

This even took place in the lounge:

Searching on the internet i found some people discussing on Direct X 12 being an issue and recommending switching back to Direct X 11. This was not fixing the bug for me though.

However, having done that I saw a notification in Fortnite mentioning possible trouble with the VSync option.

Given the fact, that my VSync option has been turned off all along i did not pay much attention to this hint at first but eventually started trying it out.

Fortnite settings before & after

As it turned out, activating the VSync did increase the FPS a lot!

Fortnite Vsync activated

Huh, thats weird, isn’t it? Having turned on a much more Ressource-consuming setting increased instead of decreased the games performance?!

So what would actually happen, if we, again, deactivate the VSync?

Fortnite Fixed

(Notice: I did not speed up or change anything, its just super fluent :) )

Fortnite Vsync deactivated again

Fortnite Lounge fixed

Voila. FPS Up to maximum again. **Bug Fixed**.

Let me know if this post helped you to get your FPS in Fortnite back on track and finally enjoy playing the game again :)

Until then, stay awesome. Hau Ruck
Mathematics One of the Most Essential Branch of AI

Mathematics creating models to help AI deliver faster better quality products.

People often find it difficult to understand why mathematics is necessary for AI. AI is related to machine algorithms that deliver information from data. The main purpose of AI is to deliver that data in a user-friendly way and without any complications. And that’s where mathematics steps in to create better products and deliver great services. Thus, mathematics is the foundation where it grows. in more simple language MATHEMATICS IS THE BASE OF AI.as these products are created by using ideas and solutions from mathematics.

MATHEMATICAL BRANCHES IN AI

There are five branches of mathematics used in AI. They are calculus, statistics, linear algebra, probability and graphics.

1. LINEAR ALGEBRA

In linear algebra, we work around algebraic concepts like Tensors, Vectors, Arrays, Scalars and Matrices. Here vectors, matrices and arrays are the most important concepts. you can use them to find secret information as they are the data languages. Even tensors and scalars are important as tensors are N-dimensional matrices and a scalar is a single number.

2. GRAPHICS

Graphics plays an important role in statistics, artificial intelligence and math. as it works with simple straight lines represented in graphical form with the help of input and output data. The function is represented by f(x)=x, where x is input data.

3. PROBABILITY

In simple language, the probability is something that works with possibility and impossibility, likely something that could occur. In a different way, here Probability is a number between 0 to 1. Where 1 represents possibilities and 0 impossibilities.

4. CALCULUS

Calculus normally revolves around following concepts like Error Minimization, Multivariate calculus, logistic regressions, differential calculus and Integral calculus for delivering a better finished and dependable product.

5. STATISTICS

Statistics work with the simple concept of gathering the information, analyzing it, interpreting it accordingly and representing it in the form of charts, pie diagrams, graphical ways to understand. The curves in a simpler and better manner.

Hence we can conclude that mathematics is an integral part of AI.
Tip of the Day: From “meh” to AAA in Unity

As with everything in Unity, elevating your mediocre looking game into a very good looking game is always a straight forward action.

Objective: Post Processing Basics

Before you start adding amazing post processing your game you need to make sure that you have it installed(it usually is, but always double check). Go to the “package manager / Packages: In Unity or Unity registry” and make sure Post Processing is installed

Post Processing Installed

After this, there are 3 essential steps you must make.

A. Add a post processing volume to an empty gameObject. Add a “Post Processing Volume” to it. For now check “Is Global” in order to make it work on your whole scene (you have the possibility to make the volume specific to a certain area) and then add a profile.

B. Create a new Layer and call is Post Processing Layer for example and assign it to the post processing volume you have created.

Post Processing Layer

C. On your main camera, add a Post Processing Layer component, assign the trigger to this main camera and choose the Post Processing Layer you have created above.

Now the magic starts. On the Post Processing Volume gameObject you created you can start adding the graphics effects and manipulate them to your liking.

Graphics Effects

A quick look at how these can affect the feel and look your game.

Post Processing On / Off

Later we will take a look into the Universal Render PipeLine and the High Definition Render PipeLine in Unity that are even more powerful than the built-in Post Processing.

Want to avoid subscription-as Service?

Adobe is not the end-all and be-all of graphic design software. I might be dating myself to admit I remember a time when dollars paid-for programs. Software that you owned and used as you pleased. In 2021, subscription-as-service is the business model that allows Adobe and others to release their software for perpetual payment. There is no longer a finite cost to own the software. You never own a copy of the software. You only get to use it. Stop paying for it. That is the only way to create a finite cost. Only then you can’t use it anymore, and that may or may not work for you.

Adobe is still the dominant professional suite in the corporate toolbox. I would not recommend trying to enter the field of graphic design without knowing it thoroughly. For an entrepreneurial life or if you intend to freelance, you do not have to cater to corporate-defined application use. There are plenty of alternative programs that do the same thing as those found in the Adobe suite. In some cases, these programs do more. Gimp instead of Photoshop, Inkscape instead of Illustrator, are just two examples.

Procreate on an iPad has no equal for straight out ideation for me. The form factor of the easily portable iPad, the wealth of paintbrushes, finishes, colors, and other things make Procreate, a software to love. Yes, it is raster instead of vector. It works for me to express ideas and brainstorm. Depending on what I am doing, it can suffice in bringing an idea to completion. I can use other tools for the finished product. The beauty about tools is that you get to use them the way you want to.

Consult with your mentor Google. Ask her to deliver results for alternatives to any Adobe software that you do not want to use. Some are open-source software ready for you to download. These are good programs if you are good at teaching yourself. They are usually similar enough to Adobe products that it is not difficult to figure out if you know Adobe programs.

There is no reason not to do graphic design just because you want to avoid Adobe. There is also no reason to do poor graphic design because you may think that learning Adobe or any substitute program is any exchange for education, design skills, or sheer talent. These programs are tools. You can only exploit the tools with proper knowledge of more than just the tools themselves.
Airflow Catchup & Backfill — Demystified
By: Amit Singh Rathore
Tags: Airflow

In my previous blog we looked at basics of Airflow. This blog will cover some advance topics.

Airflow allows missed DAG Runs to be scheduled again so that the pipelines catchup on the schedules that were missed for some reason. It also allows rerunning of DAGs in back date manually & backfill those runs. Backfill & Catch up are confusing at first glance. In this blog we will understand the concepts. But before we start on these we need to refresh about “start_date” and “execution_date”.

Start Date & Execution Date

start_date — date at which DAG will start being scheduled schedule_interval — the interval of time from the minimum start_date at which we want our DAG to be triggered.

A DAG with start date at 2021–01–26T05:00:00 UTC and schedule interval of 1 hr, get actually executed at 2021–01–26T06:00:00 for data coming from 2021–01–26T05:00:00.

Trigger Point → start_date + { schedule_interval } → till the end.

Execution date is the beginning Of the period for which data needs to be processed from.

Catchup

In the above image we are initial config where everything is fine and our DAG Run happened at 6. Then we paused the DAG.

Here we see that since at the next schedule DAG run was paused hence start_date for the schedule is not available.

At the next schedule the same happened (DAG run was not triggered). Now we enable or schedule the DAG run from console

In the above diagram we see at the next schedule previously missed DAG Runs were triggered. Notice start_date is the next schedule (9). While the Execution dates are the actual ones, if you notice, start_date are same for the last three DAG runs. This denotes backfill. So first DAG run for execution date of 6 happened then for 7 and then for 8.

Backfill

If for some reason we want to re run DAGs on certain schedules manually we can use the following CLI command to do so.

airflow backfill -s <START_DATE> -e <END_DATE> --rerun_failed_tasks -B <DAG_NAME>

This will execute all DAG runs that were scheduled between START_DATE & END_DATE irrespective of the value of the catchup parameter in airflow.cfg.

Note here -B means we want DAG Runs to happen in backwards. Latest date first then the older dates.

airflow backfill -m -s <START_DATE> -e <END_DATE> <DAG_NAME>

The above command will mark all task “success” for the given interval.

Note: With above CLI commands for backfill DAG run will have the backfill_ prefix in its ID.

Hope this was helpful!!
