First sentence in the article:

> Bacteria are known for breaking down lactose to make yogurt and sugar to make beer.

Why do they do this? Yeast makes alcohol, not bacteria. The people that research this stuff probably know this, so why do they feel the need to dumb stuff down for readers? It is frustrating.
> It was nearly close to become polio free with only 12 reported cases in 2018 but unfortunately, the number of cases rose to 147 in 2019.

Now, imagine the CIA hadn't massively fed into a significant anti-vaccination conspiracy theory prevalent in the area nearly a decade earlier?

(That rise, incidentally, probably can't be blamed on COVID.)

I don't doubt that COVID impacted programs, but Pakistan could've been done if we hadn't shaken trust in the vaccines.

> algorithm for finding the pixel displacement between two images

When did we stop calling this optical flow?

Why was the algorithm published in Cryosphere and Remote Sensing and not something related to computer vision?

Why is the only CV-related citation in the original paper to the "Handbook of mathematical models in computer vision, Springer, 2006"?

Battle.net is probably the only launcher that is quite as reliable and high quality as Steam. One example is that you can start playing WoW way before the download or install is complete. Downside is that they have been really pushing for upsells in the recent years.

All other launchers are garbage. Origin doesn’t even render text properly on my 4k screen, and pretty much all of them forgets my login each week.
I think a lot of people are missing the big picture here, because they're against the trucker protest. It's actually quite possible to think the trucker protest was stupid, and incredibly damaging to locals (via noise pollution and sleep deprivation), while still being pro crypto (I am).

The question is not is crypto valuable because of this one protest. The question is, what happens when you DO agree with a protest against the state. In that case, wouldn't you want a censorship resistant currency as a way of fueling peaceful revolution?

Crypto is no about dismantling the state. It's about the recognition that the state is no infallible, and on a long enough timeline will make decisions that are harmful to citizens. Crypto is an insurance policy against corruption and power, which can happen anywhere.
Why use this over other options? Web based blogging software offers more features such as the ability to hyperlink or to embed media. Or for a minimal approach, the blog could simply be a folder of text files since the files would be easy to view and edit with a variety of software while the filesystem would handle tracking the file's creation date
It's not just the store cut. From what I understand, a big part of the motivation of Origin was also to avoid having to compete, at least in consumer perception with the sales. Battlefield 3 at €80 while it was a year old looked terrible value when Borderlands 2 had dropped to €50 and was regularly 30% off despite being only a couple of months old.
It's an interesting point that rapidly becomes philosophical in a "if a tree falls in the woods" sense. I recently read a paper that suggested that sedating anaesthesia used with the promise of making a patient unaware of a procedure may actually do no such thing - instead they prevent the patient remembering the procedure afterwards. Which as a potential patient one day.. is a little terrifying, because even if I don't remember any trauma the next day, do I really want to experience it nonetheless?

Yeah the municipal government and police force were first to completely drop the ball. They didn't do their job and let our downtown become a parliament hill autonomous zone. Heck, they gave the convoy participants access to a city parking lot which was then set up as a forward operating base for their supply lines for the next 3 weeks.

If the police had managed this situation properly after the first weekend this would never have become an international issue. As a police force they basically completely failed to maintain order in the city, and that's a big part of why we required an eventual federal response to clean up the occupation that had free reign to establish itself for weeks.

I'm not a Trudeau supporter but I'm not sure what he should have done differently in this situation - he apparently had covid on the first weekend, is that what you're referring to about him fleeing? Anyways, this should have been handled by the municipal police force with adequate support from the provincial police force within the first week. I hope that the eventual federal review that comes with enacting the EA will find the root cause why our police force failed so hard.

I think, honestly, that Microsoft is feeling pretty happy with how things are working with steam right now - they've probably only got to do a very minimal amount of work to integrate with the platform while internally they have MS Game accounts that tie everything together for any of the tracking needs they have. I'm sure they'd love to convert all of the MS Games users to their own store but they've managed to extract a whole bunch of unexpected business from AoE2 and other titles and they're probably hoping to minimize any damage to the ecosystem.
That usefulness of the Docker daemon has actually been acknowledged by the Podman project. That's the "socket" they're talking about in this blog.

If you run `sudo systemctl start podman.socket` on your Podman 3.0+ & systemd system, you get a Docker daemon compatible API listening on your localhost. You can use all your Docker API compatible tools - including vanilla Docker Compose - and it will just use Podman underneath. Compatibility with Docker features may not be 100% yet (I'm not aware of major issues, but I believe they're there), but it's getting to the point that most use cases for Docker's ""legacy architecture"" can be handled by Podman.

And if you don't need an API, it's default off on Linux hosts so you can just use Podman without that additional exposure until you opt in.
"Predatory journal" is a bit overkill. Seems like an ok journal.
https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21100199831&ti...

The specific journals you refer to in the wikipedia article have dropped in popularity, but this particular one hasn't. Frontiers is a huge family of journals. Some are good, some are excellent, some not so good. I wouldn't call any of them predatory though. And even if there was controversy in 2015, 7 years can be a very long time in publication contexts.

One thing that is interesting about Frontiers is that they encourage open reviews (i.e. the review is public and accompanies the paper). This is pretty far from predatory journal behaviour.

Well A: I thought we were talking about the EA that got implemented by the federal government and is being used to freeze bank accounts, if you meant the police then take in mind that I was referencing the feds in my responses.

B: I thought it was about mask and vaccine mandates at first, and then moved onto dissolving the government, but now it’s because they feel slighted?

Valve was started as a reaction to Microsoft. Back when they were game devs it was pretty much "Gabe and co want to develop their own games without corporate meddling". I can't see Valve selling until the early people are near retirement, and I'm sure they've had offers.

If our system (algo trading) throws an exception, we collect core dumps from all threads, error messages go to all of our dashboards, and the system waits for a graceful restart. Exceptions almost always are due to something that should NEVER happen, and we will push out a fix ASAP. It is "exceptional" because we expect the call rate to be 0.00000%.

I keep reading how terrible exceptions are, and the examples are almost always in hot inner loops. If a junior dev put this code in a PR (a senior dev should NOT be doing this), we would require them to fix it.
Kubernetes requires a tool which implements the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), a standardized API for starting & managing containers. This is from 2015-2016[1]. The CRI interface is defined by & owned by Kubernetes, and there's a lot of implementations: runc, crun, youki, dockershim and likely more.

For a while Kubernetes has included something called the "dockershim", it's own implementation of a CRI interface that, under the hood, calls Docker or Podman, so Kubernetes "pods" run in Docker/Podman. There's also tools like Kind[3] ("kubernetes in docker") that go further- not just hosting Kubernetes worker containers in Docker, but hosting the main kubernetes daemons also in Docker.

Kubernetes deprecated Dockershim, formally in December 2020, but is just throwing the switch now in the upcoming 1.24, expected mid-April[4]. A company Mirantis has pledged to take over support of Dockershim[5], and is calling the new effort "cri-dockerd"[6]. This should allow Kubernetes workers to continue to run via Docker or Podman.

Kind is unaffected, since it runs the main Kubernetes controllers in Docker, which then launch their own opencontainerd (one off the main CRI implementations) inside that Docker container, nested like, so no dockership/cri-dockerd is needed).

Worth re-noting that Podman includes tools to try to run Kubernetes pods directly, without running the rest of Kubernetes.

"Companies" are made up of individuals. If a company has a culture where they make an attempt to care and put on a public face of caring then that is an awesome start, but actually making that work comes down to you and your managers.

> you wrongly believed their promises that they would take care of you (retraining, career growth, not laying off, not outsourcing, etc).

None of these things _ever_ just happen, even when promised. People who want them have to actively make them happen. The promise is just a "the company won't get in the way" thing, which is the best you can hope for.

Your comments make it sound a bit like your career is something that has happened to you. Careers atrophy unless you take steps to force the direction.

For example, if retraining was mentioned, then find an online course at Udacity or something, get the annual review or whatever where retraining was mentioned, and send en email to your manager saying "hey my review said I need to do retraining. I need $450 for this course and then go from there".

Even in the best companies it's pretty rare someone will actually organise something like this for you.
The socket doesn't give you the benefits of a long-running daemon though, namely: Healthchecks and automatic restarts, and the ability to run containers beyond rebooting. Podman can do those things but it leverages systemd timers and units. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I do like that Docker does this completely self-contained.
Steam offers a lot of services around the core store. Achievements, save file cloud sync, a modest social network, DRM. All that stuff creates lock-in.
I tried switching to Podman for my Home Assistant install. One day it just stopped working - I forget the exact error, I believe it was networking related. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any reason why it broke or resources on how to fix it so I just went back to Docker. I really want to support Podman but this was a discouraging experience.
I think you're underselling things a fair amount. Steam was first - but lots of first to market products under invest in R&D and end up playing catch-up feature wise... Valve has consistently shown they're willing to experiment with new feature and do-dads to make sure their platform remains competitive. Given all the revenue they draw out of Steam I think that's only fair - but a lot of companies in their position would cut their workforce and milk that cow until their founder could IPO and exit with a big wad of money.

The features you listed on the API side have almost all come in before competitors have tried to offer similar features - it's seriously impressive.
Oh wow, I found the Imams preaching on TV in China the most surprising, and only now in your context realize they were probably trying to establish Party authority of the religion.
The project was flawed from the start because the idea behind it made no sense at all. The goal was that people would travel to the mound and therefore 'revitalize' the area.

The entire principle was encouraging people to visit London, the West End, Oxford Street etc. You know, that place that has tons of world class restaurants, theatres, sculptures and architecture, the actual Marble Arch, etc.

People needed a big hill, that'd make them go.

They were working against the odds the entire way - we had a government sponsored propaganda campaign for years to warn people away from using public transport, to avoid busy hours, to not travel unless necessary, etc.

People weren't (aren't) avoiding visiting the West End because there's nothing to do, they were doing it because it was hammered into them that there'll be death on a mass scale if they get on a tube train. That's unwinding, but it's a slow process particularly because whilst the "hide at home" message was hammered in, the same has not been done for the exit strategy.

The whole thing was a boondoggle. Like someone else said, just go to Primrose Hill or the Heath or Crystal Palace or basically anywhere.
I stopped reading at this point:

“If you love what you're doing now and don't ever want to change jobs, great: you've reached the end of your career, even if it plays out over many decades.”

That is so wrong if your job is dynamic and creative, and if you have ambitious goals.
These are all vague terms that ultimately don't seem to map to anything grounded in reality.

But consciousness has something to do with seeing oneself as an agent in control, not simply executing an automatic script but being in control and knowing that one is in control, seeing the self also from the outside in a way and freely moving between these levels. I don't know if consciousness is possible without qualia. And anyone who claims to know probably also knows how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

I think, given a language that supports elegantly catching exceptions, it is inevitable that things like that will be written. And why not? The language makes them nice to write, which signals to users that it is something you should be using a lot.

I think the approach Go, Rust and others take there is the right way to go. By making panics annoying or even impossible to recover from in some cases, they ensure that they are only used for their intended purpose and are not abused as a general purpose control flow mechanism.
No date/time data type will meet everybody's requirements. Some date/time
formats will have a limited range, or won't have enough precision,
and on the other hand, some date/time type implementations will give lots of
range and precision but then end up taking up too much space on disk. It is
not possible to please everyone. It seems better to provide basic low-level
datatypes (integer, 64-bit IEEE float, string, BLOB) and let the
developer choose whatever date/time representation best meets the needs of
the application.

As a user, Steam and Netflix both provided more value to me prior to credible competition. Netflix used to be one €9.99 subscription to watch basically everything, Steam was the one stop shop to manage all my games. Basically all the features I care about on either were already well established before their competitors came around.

On the other hand, my Steam account now represents a very expensive point of failure should it somehow get hacked or Valve decides to robo ban me.

Really simply? Because it's worth it. Nobody's "bowing to" Steam, they could sell off their own website for free, if they wanted. But Steam offers enough of a marketplace, enough tooling, and enough promotion that it's worth it to sell there.

It's what I want for the Apple App store, too. Don't charge any less, just make it worth it.
But it's not. A lambda is merely syntactic sugar for an object (a functional) and as such it can carry a state (the term is 'closure' in this case); depending on what is being captured, its creation can even involve a heap allocation.
