Is not a coincidence that Putin acussed Ukraine of "using biological and chemical warfare" against the Russian soldiers in the same days (if I remember correctly). A typical save-face movement.

Maybe it was a gaffe, or even a deliberate sacrifice of a few pawns to justify further measures. Russia has a solid tradition to treat their soldiers lives as disposable s*t. Ordering them to dig trenches in the red forest is so stupid that feels like an experiment.

When the entire planet refused to take the bait, they just stop talking about it. I assume that any ill soldier returning to Russia would be blamed on Ukranians automatically.
What we know about India's Chandrayaan 3 Moon landing mission
It's true in places you mentioned from even my understanding from multiple people. But it's the same in the whole of India is not correct, as Kerala comparatively has very less problems like this. It's actually surprising for people from Kerala to even know such issues still exist even in metro cities of other states. True that it makes sense to generalize your comment as Kerala is just 2.5 - 2.7% of the Indian population.
This code looks scary. I'd rather see a proper .ini parser being used.
Under Windows, WSL/WSL2 is new (5 years old) big thing which is integrated with Docker Desktop as well.

I've tried to run `dock` under WSL2 and install works fine, container creation works fine, but connecting through SSH fails - due the fact that Docker is really running in different VM and is not directly accessible (ssh just times out).
Looks like, adding some small modifications of way of exposing ssh/connecting there should allow it as well.

On side note - bash scripting is very nicely done! But running through `shellcheck` gives some hints on safer handling, i.e.

echo "StrictHostKeyChecking no" >> ~/.ssh/dock_config_$ssh_suffix

Thank you, both issues fixed. At least that's how you know someone tried it. Issue #1 was extra \ without the newline character that was supposed to follow and Issue #2 was me forgetting to push the branch after I recently migrated the site.

Bad language is a pretty subjective. Perl often gets a bad wrap because it can be hard to read and terse, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad. It could be good in a “writing a quick script” circumstance.

Being against vaccines as a concept is ridiculous, yes. But let me tell you something about corona vaccines in Scandinavia: We started vaccinating our health care employees with J&J and AZ a year+ ago. Quickly, it was discovered that up to 10 nurses had died in all of Scandinavia and likely more, due to extreme strokes completely unexpected at their age and well being. Very quickly the AZ was completely outlawed in Denmark, and J&J put on hold for 4 months before becoming a sign-up only, "wave my rights" vaccine.

This was a decision by DOCTORS. Meanwhile, I read HN and reddit et al. and what do I see? That AZ and J&J vaccines are totally safe and they ban all other comments for "misinformation". What gives?
So, if you would, say, spend 10 minutes to install `dock` I guarantee you, you'd love how uncomplicated it makes everyday container usage. It doesn't get much simpler than a single four-letter command with no arguments.
I have some email addresses only used to make commits. I have had a number of recruiters use that email address. So definitely somebody is looking at them.
The difference in perspective in this thread boils down to North American (except NY) vs. European perspectives. My residential area has six floor buildings with lots of residents and ground floor shops and cafes. This setup only rarely exist in the US.
Because of the money. Games account for approximately 70 percent of the entire App Store’s revenue, and 98 percent of in-app purchase revenue. Apple is not very motivated to stop these practices because it makes them many billions of dollars.
I completely agree with the sentiment of this post for the purposes of solving business problems, and more generally for making rational decisions in one's life. I find it intriguing though, because I think a way of rephrasing your argument is that one should make sure that all of one's questions and approaches should be instrumental toward a goal. In every-day life, the only kind of person who truly takes this approach interpersonally is a sociopath. This kind of person only interacts with others as a means to their own ends, and generally the goal is efficiency and material gain.

It makes sense, because at some level the success of a corporation is totally devoid of purpose outside the maximization of profit. I just think it is interesting how that bleeds into the habits of employees. How much of that do we take home?
In defense of the "human soul crushing communist block buildings", at least they were less soul crushing than living with multiple other families in the same apartment, sharing bathrooms and kitchens.

Post WWII there were an actual housing crisis in the USSR, and those block buildings helped a lot.

Roundabouts are superior to traffic lights but take more space. In low traffic areas, four way stops are best as they take less room than roundabouts.
Marketing isn't the only example. Marketing does have an important purpose to play, as you say.

Take for example Diablo Immortal. Blizzard and Diablo have tons of fans. People want an old school Diablo, a game that puts the player first, a game they can buy for a flat fee and then have and enjoy for decades like they have the others in the series. But Blizzard doesn't care, consumers can't pay enough to make it worth their while, so instead they'll deliver a thin veil over gambling and exploitation and call it Diablo Immortal.
Every time the topic of cheating comes up on HN, I become increasingly disheartened by the amount of people chiming in who think it's not only alright to cheat but also laudable to do so.

I may be wrong, but this

> It's all fun and games until someone creates a branch with an updated Dockerfile, you check it out, it alters your container and then you go back to master only to find out nothing works.

ticks some boxes for me - author prefer/works best in solo mode, otherwise such change would be reviewed by team members, before being put into master branch.
Regular cardio exercise or cessation of smoking has an even more dramatic impact on health outcomes. Should those be mandated?

Wt(pronounced as Witty)[0]. The developers like to call it "toolkit" instead of framework. It is a very interesting take on developing web applications; it is inspired by Qt(pronounced as Cute). The idea behind Wt is that web app development should be similar to desktop app development. It is targeted towards C++ and embedded developers, but if you look at their examples page[1], and their code examples in the "examples" directory of the source code, it is not limited to embedded platforms. The company behind this project is Belgian and their web site[2] is also developed using Wt :)

I think the whole RNA thing is a bit over hyped. People like RNA because it looks somewhat like computer code, and our technology is just smitten with computers, these recent decades. And right along with that, it makes for such a painfully obvious way to implement inheritance and natural selection, a way to make genes.

But I think our focus is too narrow, we should think bigger than just obvious solutions. Now, it's great if the early oceans were awash with RNA, but does RNA exploit energy gradients on its own? The idea of all this random RNA just sloshing around, using nothing more than entropy, behaving as genes and inventing all the rest of it, just seems a little cart-before-the-horse.

What about metabolism-first? Is fire alive? It has many properties of life but, critically, lacks self regulation and heritability. Burns everything and goes out. Imagine though, a system of enzymes that can assimilate various specific kinds of molecules, and sustain production of those enzymes. Imagine this contained, compartmentalized in some way. Dynamically not much more complicated than simple fire, but crucially, the enzymes can be said to be inherited. These are not 'genes' as such, these are the actual machinery. It should be possible for natural selection to act on 'life' no more complicated than that. And that kind of system could then take find uses for RNA.

(And yes, the enzymes I refer to could be realized as RNA, but acting as the enzymes directly, not merely describing them, and this would confer some major benefits)

But I agree. In normal circumstances things like that should not happen.
It does work though.

"Escape from Tarkov" and "It takes two" are just some of the more noteworthy ones. There's tons more on steam.

It's just the mobile market that's screwed entirely. Which I find odd, because I'm convinced there are opportunities for games that work especially well on small screens with touchscreen (like Nintendo demonstrated half a decade before mainstream smartphones)
Wouldn't it be fascinating if it happened multiple times right here on earth, even.
I'm not sure that "this thing isn't as bad as illegal drugs" is a winning argument.

There will be, for sure, lives ruined because of this game's predatory practices. It really sickens me.

To quote myself from a previous thread:

"If you could hear the contempt that "some" game devs have for their customers, you might never buy a game ever again. It really is quite shocking...and the contempt exists from top to bottom, its everywhere. That isn't to say there's not a vast number of of honourable people in the industry, not at all. It's only to say that we as a whole are allowing the demons run amok.

I have seen the damage that compulsive behaviour can do to our most vulnerable in society. Lives ruined, homelessness, suicide, familial dissolution, the list goes on. Children, people with mental dysfunctions, suffers of brain injuries, even people with Parkinson's disease (on l-dopa for example)"
Queen Elizabeth II has served her people for the last 70 years—in fact, since she was born 96 years ago. The constitutional monarchy requires that she and her heirs devote essentially their entire lives to service of the country. She has been driven by duty and service for longer than most of us have been alive.

Personally, I am profoundly grateful for how she has lived her life and what she has given to the UK.
Yes, that is exactly the problem.

It is an interesting result that there is spontaneous polymerization catalyzed by volcanic rock glasses, but this is an extremely simple reaction, which is expected to happen spontaneously in various conditions.

Making the monomers, i.e. the nucleoside triphosphates, requires a long chain of complex reactions, and also energy.

There is no doubt that RNA has first appeared accidentally, by spontaneous polymerization of nucleoside triphosphates, but those must have been produced by an already existing form of life, which had to use a continuous source of energy for complex molecule synthesis, e.g. dihydrogen, carbon monoxide and a ionic concentration gradient, which can be provided by submarine vents.

While the study does not offer any new information about the actual origin of life, the first accidental synthesis of RNA must have used some catalyst and that catalyst might have been a component of volcanic rocks, as shown in this study.

Only after some molecules of RNA with random composition already existed, due to spontaneous polymerization, it could happen for a RNA molecule to serve as a template for replication, during the polymerization of another RNA molecule. Therefore it is important to determine in which conditions the polymerization of RNA can happen, in the absence of specialized enzymes.
fp32 uses much less silicon and power than fp64. I think the scaling is roughly quadratic in both, so 4x performance is free.

I vaguely remember a consumer card having 1/4 the fp64 units of a similar data center one so that would get the 16x on paper.

Memory bandwidth / register file size would suggest another 2x from moving less data. My working heuristic on these things is compute is free because I fail to saturate the memory bus but no doubt some applications do actually run into that slowdown in practice. Matrix multiply probably does.

You can’t cloak email addresses that are part of the commit itself. If you can access the raw repo, you can access the raw email address.

Luck has played an outsized role in my life. Two notable examples:

1. In 1992 I learned that a colleague of mine was a member of the Magic Castle [1] and offered me a guest pass. I had a long-standing love of magic, and the chance to go to the Castle seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I invited some friends to go with me, and one of those friends asked if she could bring a friend, and of course I said yes. Fast-forward 30 years and that friend-of-a-friend and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Castle

2. In early 2000, at the height of the dotcom boom, I sent a resume to an obscure little startup with about 50 employees. They made me an offer, but I turned them down because I decided that it was not worth giving up my secure position at NASA to go chasing a pipe dream. But they wouldn't take no for an answer. They offered me all kinds of additional perks (back then anyone with a CS degree and a pulse could pretty much write their own ticket) and so I decided to go. Four years later that company had an IPO. Their stock symbol was GOOG.

[UPDATE] Two more examples that I just thought of, with a somewhat different dynamic:

3. When I was in high school I attended a football game. I drove myself in my parents' car. At the game, I met my best friend at the time (who has since died from complications resulting from malaria, but that's another story) who had arrived on a motorcycle. After the game we decided to go meet somewhere (I don't recall exactly where). I followed him. At one point he was stopped at a stop sign. I expected him to pull away from the intersection fairly quickly and I didn't want to lose him, so I stepped on the gas. By the time I realized that he wasn't pulling away as I expected it was almost too late to stop. I screeched to a halt (this was before ABS brakes) with my front bumper about a foot away from his rear wheel. If I had reacted even a second later I almost certainly would have hit him, and quite possibly killed him.

4. After college some friends and I went on a tour of Europe. We rented a car in England and picked up two girls so there were five of us in the car along with our backpacks. One of my friends was driving, and I was in the passenger seat. We were going at speed down a non-divided highway when I saw my friend turn his head to say something to one of the girls in the back seat. The car started drifting into oncoming traffic, which in England of course is on the right. We were heading straight for a semi-truck. In a split my brain decided that telling him to look out might be a bad idea because, as an American driver, his reflex reaction would be to turn the wheel to the right instead of left. So I grabbed the wheel myself and turned to the left. My friend of course did not know realize right away why I had done this. He thought I had just gone rogue, looked at me instead of out the window, and gave my hand a karate chop to get me to let go of the wheel. He never saw the truck. To this day I'm not sure I did the right thing. But we didn't hit the truck.

Interesting point: how can you say "The pros beat the cons"? So far, and more important from the history (one scandal per WHO pandemic declaration, same plot before and ongoing) we have see only evidence of the very contrary: 2021 total mortality was far higher than 2020 one, 2020 with covid, without "vaccines", 2021 with "vaccines".

What evidence you know of the contrary? The À la une of some journal stating that or something more solid?

Beside that, speaking about France did you read the official report https://www.atih.sante.fr/sites/default/files/public/content... ? Did you read constants articles about medical deserts due to neoliberals reforms ?

Long story short: try to compare USA health costs (the highest in the western world) with the lowest mean quality with classic EU PUBLIC and UNIVERSAL health systems the cheapest and the best in mean quality. Than try to draw where the costs came from and more important: from witch pocked money depart to end up in witch other pockets.
I really like the concept of [Playpass](https://play.google.com/intl/en_au/about/play-pass/), for Android, it gives you a tonne of really good games that aren't pay to win, have offline support and are fun. I don't really play many games anymore, especially on mobile, but I found a few when I went away on holiday and wanted to play a few games here and there when travelling.

This would pretty much kill the current industry (*as we know it).

F2P/mobile games are monetized through Wales, but they're only willing to spend if there's enough incentive (e.g. prestige). That's not given if there's no F2P player base, because the base game would be too expensive.

IMHO the best way to go about is to vote with your wallet. There are plenty of worthwhile games where you don't have to be a whale to be successful.
You told me that not everything hasn't been quite right, but you also assured, very confidently, that it's going to be all right again. Do you really feel much better now?
Is it cheating if the person asks his recently hired friend what the interviews were like and he just happens to get the same question?

This is a case of random chance and Microsoft not having a wide enough of an interviewer pool. It didn't seem willful, malicious, or pre-planned on the part of the candidate.

How would you respond in the moment? They admitted they were shocked to see the question. They were probably expending so much mental effort to maintain composure that the thought never crossed their mind on how to appropriately handle the scenario. High stakes and nerves. That's not at all what they prepared for.
I desperately wish there were some kind of equivalent to the Bar Association for software. A higher power that can punish blatant ethical violations in the face of the relentless greed of an engineer's boss, company, or industry. I think of the Volkswagen emissions snafu and how that might have been handled differently if the engineers had something with teeth to use to push back against unethical and illegal practices.

On the other hand, I feel that it would be a moot point. 'Ethics violations' require a code of ethics and an intent to violate them. I was recently at a meeting where an engineer was describing how they used an A/B test to prove that creating an extra modal dialogue in the account deletion process reduced the number of people who deleted their account. They described the entire process as being good for the user, who might be 'confused' about 'accidentally' deleting their account and how they would be more 'empowered' to 'remain loyal'. I realized I was listening to someone describe a dark pattern, but this person was convinced that dark was light.
It's not quite a random soup though, RNA folding usually tries to minimize the energy exerted during the folding and binding process, no? Isn't this similar with fire, and enzymes, and other unconscious actors that appear to exhibit complex behavoirs but are just minimising some energy gradient?
