As this article shows, with evolution it is hit-or-miss whether the response to a pathogen has collateral damage. In medicine, we can be more proactive about it.

Sorry to hear that you going through that. Not and MS patient personally, but I've been going to a special clinic in Mexico for more than 10 years and MS is one of the conditions they treat. I've met quite a few MS patients there who achieved life-changing results after doctors in the states and EU had failed to help them.

This clinic helped me overcome a toxic mold exposure that was producing autoimmune and neurological issues that various doctors in the states were unable to effectively diagnose or treat. (They were happy to take my money though) A few year later, I was hit by a drunk driver in Nicaragua and doctors in the states told me I was going to need multiple surgeries and need to adjust my expectations for what healing looked like. With help from this clinic, I was able to recover from that with no surgeries and have no residual issues whatsoever.

The important thing here is that you keep a mindset that healing is possible, and keep exploring options until you find what works. Don't get bogged down envisioning worst-case scenarios. Be vigilant of your thoughts and any time you find yourself going into those fear-based scenarios, do a pattern interrupt and replace them with positive thoughts. For me, the visions I used to replace those fears was seeing myself hiking in the mountains with my dog, feeling healthy and strong. A few years into my healing journey, I found myself doing exactly that. Hiking above the treeline on Mt Shasta with my Malinois, feeling strong in my body, with clean mountain air in my lungs. I sat down and wept tears of gratitude.

Keep pressing forward. It gets better.

Having seen a moose truck through five foot deep snow like it wasn't even there I can attest being hit by a moose is a one way ticket to your maker.
We live in the golden age of gameplay innovation. It’s never been easier to develop and distribute a game. There is an vast ocean of indie game developers with new games coming out every week! There were 10394 new steam games listed in 2021. That’s over 28 new games per day! In 2010 only 349 games came out on the platform.
You are talking to generations of people that grew up with video games. This isn’t some shit they saw for the first time, they’ve been watching the progress since childhood at this point.

Basically, they lost perspective on how amazed an average person would be. Similar to how porn addicts don’t flinch at triple penetration videos, or … you get it. Wish I could come (ooof) up with better analogies.

Yes, even I went “nope, that’s not real enough”.
My "Old Testament" comment was more of a "No grown-ups are impressed by your finally noticing that cows have 4 legs, nor by your bragging about that brilliant discovery" mockery.

But, in many ways, the field of theology is doing far better! At least Christianity, in the West. With the relative collapse of church membership, attendance, etc. over the past ~half-century, the number of self-serving hypocrite theologians enjoying good social status, pay, and benefits while preaching a moral code which they would never want to follow has been plummeting.

The corresponding trends in science do not look so good.
Speedometer 2.0 is developed by Apple. Of course it will be performant.
I'm reminded of this blog post[0] from 2017 about bad tone mapping in video games. A game can put all the work it wants into realistic puddle reflections, but it'll still scream "video game" to your eyes if the color grading is so out of whack that it couldn't possibly be a real scene. That post is focused on how it was done wrong so often in the early days of HDR.

This clip has lots of things that stick out to me as video gamey, but the color is on-point. I suspect that's a huge part of the realism.

I think we agree it's unlikely, but best to prepare for what they can do, and not what we expect then to do.
Only women lose their ability to reproduce past a certain biological age (as opposed to chronological age), and I think you simply mean "those that didn't have children," of any age. But that is how natural selection works, random mutation during sexual reproduction in response to environmental pressure allowing differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in inherited phenotypic traits. Those that died with or without children were not selected for survival as they usually would not have mutated beneficially after they were already conceived. We call that cancer.
More like things are getting so complex no one has any clue what good science and tech policy is anymore.

[quote]does S76 announces they're targetting to recreate their own desktop from scratcch, or they "just modify things" whom are not really good with the gnome desktop of today, keeping the rest (running GTK if Im well)? [/quote]

Official communication(1) says "we're doing to do our own desktop because gnome extensions are too breakable". Indeed, Cosmic-desktop was until there a gnome modified, with extensions, whom can by definition(2) be bugged/breaked/misfunctionnal at each gnome update. This decision could be comprehensible for a company who install it on computers to sell.

But I think we might not forget the fuming writing(3) that Chris Davies published shortly afterwards. As explained, some S76 devs badmouth a bit regarding Gnome devs riding their bad reputation (not diserved at all imho) and of lost-minded nerds flooding the r/gnome subreddit and comments on OMGubuntu. The announce of Cosmic being rewrited in Rust has been then shown as a divorce between S76 and gnome, on the exclusive wrongdoing of that last one. It personnaly a view whom makes me sick, as some people said it here already. Budgie said more or less the same thing announcing last december they will re-write their desktop environnment in ELF(4), accusing the GtK project of being running for the particular interests of Gnome[teams]. It's very hard for me to see that as something else than a true and real bad faith. Few years earlier, Linux Mint and elementary, decided their own desktop environnment in replacement of Gnome, and the three projects has followed a distinct path while keeping a good harmony (and staying based on GTK!)

it's very frustrating to see those quarrels blocking on the path of the linux desktop adoption, because it's really about it : we're not talking here about niche desktops like sway or lxqt, but about what can permit to a huge amount of users to emancipate of microsoft and Apple. If it's still considered as a relevant idea.

Far Cry 2 did a lot of specific things to accomplish its vision and those have been abandoned as out of line with other games'vision. The fire mechanics, minimap, and healing mechanic are the ones that jump out at me
Stem cell therapy (autologous) involves wiping out your entire immune system and then rebuilding it from scratch using your own stem cells. It uses (usually) strong chemo drugs to do the wiping out, which themselves are toxic and have tons of side effects. You are rendered weak, with a high risk of secondary infection that requires you to basically isolate yourself until your immune system recovers. It’s very unpleasant. Close family member is currently in the midst of it for multiple myeloma, and spent an extra week in the hospital from secondary infection.
Sure, but again all that changed was a slight change in the frequency of this interaction not the existence of it.

It’s simply not enough change at the population level to turn extremely rare genetic disorders into common problems.

Things I Wish I’d Done Earlier as a Coder
Human mind doesn’t (can’t) process the entirety of perceivable space-time in all of its detail, far from that. Rather we treat it more as a symbolic interface, superfluous accidental detail is simplified away whenever possible (sometimes excessively so: the Invisible Gorilla effect, optical illusions, and so on).

This is why I don’t see inherent value in increasing realism of film and videogame visuals (I do think contrasting degrees of realism could be used to achieve an artistic effect, but am yet to see this technique employed) and incidentally why I start to find unstaged photography frustrating and consider learning to draw (the technique employed by many illustrators, where a photo of an actual scene is taken as a reference and then traced over to leave out unnecessary detail and focus on shapes and colors of interest, is appealing).
Others have given you advise on how to change your situation. Those options take time to execute.

In the meantime, consider changing how you look at this situation so that at least while you work to solve it you don't feel stressed out.

I recommend reading on stoicism first thing in the morning before dealing with work.

Another interesting aspect of Canadian mortgages (as opposed to US ones) is that you can't just walk away if the mortgage is underwater (which is what a pot of people in the US did after the GFC). The bank can come after you for the difference between house value and mortgage.

It's strange how they keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

First it was a bunch of Russian bootleg MegaDrive games stealing BotB tunes that were included as demos with Shiru's TFM Music Maker.

Then there was a game jam where they all made really excellent TIC-80 games.
A problem is that defaults are so powerful. If you default uploads to MIT-0 or something like that, it comes across like you're hoping people won't notice.

And if you default to all rights reserved (which is what Flickr does) relatively few people will opt-in to something more open.

And I'd add that I'm not sure how well most of the Creative Commons options work anyway. Unless you add your own watermark--which I don't like doing--to a photo, the attribution and photo get separated unless the user is being meticulous and probably even then a lot of the time. (I try to be careful but images get copied from presentation to presentation etc.)

Plus it's very tempting for people to choose non-commercial CC if they choose CC. But there really are very few interesting uses (except maybe education) that are genuinely non-commercial.
The USA would have to be very very busy indeed to overlook the nuking of close allies. Also, South Korea itself is absolutely armed to the teeth and it is entirely unclear to me that North Korea stands any chance of winning a war even if they do get a nuclear first strike off.
Also, we've been able to generate pretty realistic images for quite some time now. For some expertly crafted ray-traced stills, it's nearly impossible to tell whether the picture was computer-generated.

This looks pretty amazing, I'll give that, but you can still clearly see it's a computer game. A bit better than the last one maybe, but not "can't tell if rendered"-realistic.
Well I'd settle for the good old days when it wasn't just old people that voted, or the good old days when a party had the good grace to implode whilst out of power, or the good old days when Europe was the Tories whipping boy rather than its own party. Id even settle for the good old days when Johnson wasn't still seen as a viable candidate. Still!

Photogrammetry (together with a physical based rendering pipeline to get the lighting just right) probably deserves all the credit in this. I remember first reading about it in 2014, in an article about an indie game for that matter. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Here's an article: https://www.pcgamer.com/find-out-why-the-vanishing-of-ethan-...

Since then, every game that embraced it for photo realism looks basically perfect in terms of world geometry. Doesn't even have to be crazy high-res or high poly, as long as you don't stick your virtual nose directly in front of stuff, you can easily fill every pixel on screen with one that's ~95% there from where it should be in a real-world photograph.
How long have you been working there? If it is a recent job give it time to see if things will improve. If you have been there for a while then it is time to find a better team in another company.
If that happens, then it didn't ultimately succeed. By definition.

Apparently there is no single explanation, the source can be airborne clutter (balloons, plastic bags, civilian drones), natural atmospheric phenomena and classified programs developed by the United States, Russia, China or another nation or non-governmental entity.

It would be really lame if it would be aliens, like they are trying to hide from us, they are just really bad at it. I would expect better.
I’d consider the criticism more uncanny valley type stuff - because it looks of a certain quality the flaws are more evident. It seems for the most part the excellence here is in the art design taking advantage of modern GPUs and the criticism is warranted from a technical perspective.

Where you see negativity and hate, I see constructive criticism and an honest conversation about flaws out of love for the craft and a desire to get the best we can.

We don't improve things by gushing over how great they are already. We improve things by pointing out where improvement is possible. Clearly there are game devs (past, current and future) reading these discussions. Maybe just one can be inspired to solve one of the technical challenges mentioned?
Energy forecasts for Europe over the next six months are pretty difficult to estimate, and many reports have ulterior motives, i.e. they seem to try to play up or play down the situation based on whether or not they're backing a lifting of sanctions on Russian energy exports, or trying to keep these sanctions in place. Getting around this dynamic requires a systematic approach, i.e. listing all sources of energy and all energy demands. Additionally, Europe seems fairly fractured on energy coordination, as the individual countries seem to be pursuing nationalist agendas on securing their energy supply, rather than having everything be coordinated and directed by the EU.

Here's a quick overview of what seem to be the major elements of the LNG picture:

Qatar has said long-term LNG contracts to Asia won't be modified to meet European energy demands and thinks that the real crunch will come next year if the war continues, although this winter might be OK:

https://worldnewsera.com/news/finance/stock-market/europe-at...

China has ordered its domestic resellers of LNG to Europe (apparently sourced largely from the Exxon-built Sakhalin projects, which Russia has now seized) to stop reselling to Europe to ensure their own domestic suppy.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/China-Is-Aggressi...

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/China-To-Stop-Resell...

Finally on the LNG picture, the US capacity has been steadily growing and the main desired market for LNG exports seems to be Europe, but whether this will make up for Russian gas is unclear and the costs seem quite a bit higher:

https://magazine.offshore-technology.com/us_lng_export_capac...

That's just the LNG picture; the actual domestic capacity of Europe on nuclear and renewables is a whole other picture, and then there's the crude oil needed for air travel and gasoline/diesel vehicles. Whether European countries will share these energy resource among each other, or hoard supplies, is also a factor.

It's all pretty difficult to sort out and the spin factor in published reports is very large, so good luck reading the tea leaves.
As in "risk premium as determined by a moron"?

The UK's situation is no different from continental redistributionist disasters - big government, too much spending.

The only reason why the US hasn't fallen to that level is that the dollar is a major reserve currency.

Well, he wants and he is willing to pay, it's not like he's demanding it for free. The residents and the town should price it accordingly so that both sides benefit from the deal.

Following your logic, going to the bakery to buy bread instead of making it myself is "entitled" and disregards the baker's quality of life since he'd be much more comfortable sleeping than waking up at 5am to start preparing the bread.

> Global science research serves the needs of the Global North, and is driven by the values and interests of a small number of companies, governments and funding bodies, finds a major new international study published today. As such, the authors find, science, technology and innovation research is not focused on the world’s most pressing problems including taking climate action, addressing complex underlying social issues, tackling hunger and promoting good health and wellbeing.

Is it really an improvement to have the unaccountable UN dictate research goals top-down rather than some private interests?

IMO this sounds incredibly dystopian.
