Since they mention Windows, I believe this is a reference to the fact that you cannot (easily) install the Docker CLI without Docker Desktop. Podman does not have this issue.

Is there something in particular missing? I have been using Podman for Windows almost daily for the past six months. There is no management GUI built-in like Docker for Windows, but I have not found that be a problem at all.

That does not happen because you searched for Firefox. A dismissible popup suggesting you 'Switch to Chrome' appears if using IE to search with Google regardless of your search term.
It seems Microsoft is bit more egregious in Bing. If you search for Chrome or Firefox you get "Promoted by Microsoft - Microsoft Edge is the recommended browser for Windows 10 and it’s already installed on your PC."

They are not participating in the study though, at least not the regulated portion of the trial.
The rule prevents negative outcomes for risky non-qualified patients from harming the trial, but the converse is also true. Positive outcomes for patients outside the regulated trial will not help gain approval at Phase II or Phase III.
On a board like hn, there's a tendency to look at all data as useful data, but this isn't true in the case of a clinical trial.
On further thinking, I'm not even sure what happens in the case of a patient receiving a pre-approval drug outside of the trial. Handling their data would likely need to meet the same standards required in trial (consent tracking, electronic signatures, etc) without any of the machinery of the trial to help. It could well be the case that nothing is collected if the cost to keep it and use it are too high.
danielnesbitt | 9 years ago | on: Comparing Elixir and Go
Pure functional languages often do not use the same data structures common in imperative languages. Instead there's an emphasis on persistent structures that copy on write while sharing as much data as possible.
For instance, prepending to a linked list results in a new head node, but nothing is actually copied. Appending requires a full copy. A developer has to be aware of where the limitations of these data structures are, but I think that's true of using any library in any language.

I remember reading about Project Avatar around the the time Java 8 was released. The intention was to support some of those native node modules.
I guess it hit some roadblocks.
