So many people have been infected by covid in the last 9 months that you'd expect a large enough number of infections to coincide with other health problems to make for scary headlines. If somebody has a something as mundane as burnout or depression after catching covid, will people identify it correctly, or will anxiety and relentless doom and gloom news headlines result in a "long covid" self-diagnosis?

Do we have any reason to believe long covid is a real thing? Is this not just anecdotes being blown up by the media that is generally useless at science reporting?
I caught COVID-19 back in Aug from helping out the local schools with their bumpy start into remote learning.

6 weeks later, I am suffering from occasional severe fatigue still - these days, it manifests itself after 8-9 hours or so and results in a crash where I have to sleep for 40mins+. If I don’t struggle through and go to bed then, it will screw up my sleep schedule. During the 2 weeks of COVID, it was way worse and I could sleep 3/4s of an entire day and still be tired.

This is getting better - I push myself everyday just a little more and now can exercise for 2 hours straight and carry on, but it’s night and day different to pre-COVID behavior and I imagine it will be through to Christmas before I am back to “normal” (touch wood).

1% chance of death and 2% chance of extended illness is not "very small". I would put those risks as "very high", since that is essentially your risk budget for the entire year.

I used to play a tabletop RPG that used percentile dice. For every action, there was a 1% chance of a miserable failure. Turns out, those cropped up quite a bit.
So as someone who doesn't have a good grasp on copyright law, I'm not sure how 1984 is on this list. All the other books here appear to be over a hundred years old, making them public domain (I think), but 1984 was published in 1949. Pretty cool site, anyway.
> And yes, without lockdowns things may be even worse, but the fact remains that the biggest impact on lives from this pandemic will likely not be directly from COVID but indirectly from economic devastation.

You say indirectly, I say directly. Even if everything was opened 100% tomorrow, many people are simply not going to go back to what they used to do. The way to avoid economic devastation was/is to deal with covid.

It's a small thing, but a feature I used a lot, so it was irritating. I could only imagine it being removed because of a redesign behind the scenes that was hard to explain to users (a situation I've faced myself).
Doesn't an event horizon imply a gravitational pull so strong not even light can escape? Isn't the effect of gravity the same at the event horizon for all sizes of a black hole?

I thought the size only affected the "acceleration" of the gravitational pull based on the distance from the singularity? A supermassive black hole means you will take longer to be spaghettified, but it will still happen and it will happen before you cross the horizon, won't it?

Google search from Tor nodes generally gets CAPTCHA or rate-limit blocked regardless of whether you go through DDG or not. Google Web Search is effectively unusable via Tor.

I used to be able to do some interesting analysis through automated commandline searches on Google, looking at the estimated results count (see, e.g., https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/3hp41w/trackin...), with some ... very creative rate limiting.

Because of how Google restricts information, that analysis took about 10k searches (1 each per term per site), conducted over a week or so.

Last I looked into extending those analyses that route was utterly broken --- non-JS, plain-HTML results simply aren't produced, let alone rate-limiting and bot detection. Scripted search doesn't contribute to ad views. (Though neither do adblocked ones.)

DDG by contrast has its 'lite‘ search. Unfortunately for my research uses, no result set counts.

There may be APIs for these or other services, I've not yet looked into that.

I’ve had both. This (long covid, post virus fatigue, whatever) is a few orders of magnitude worse, at least for me.

I had covid middle of March, and am maybe 50% energy most days, and have to do massive breaths every so often. After 7 months of “recovery”?! I don’t know if I’m even getting better... yeah extreme fatigue, brain fog, eating can be exhausting...

Even at 80 it only about doubles the chance they die. An 80 year old has a 5% chance of death, adding another 5% chance of death is striking no doubt, and would consider that very much at risk. 50 however...

The IFR was close to zero for people between the ages of 15 and 44, increasing to 3.1% for 65–74-year-olds and to 11.6% for anyone older. The results of the study have been posted to the medRxiv preprint server1.

Confusion is happening because 2 different ideas of Excel using csv files:

- others saying "you can preserve leading zeros" : click on Excel 2019 Data tab and import via "From Text/CSV" button on the ribbon menu and a dialog pops up that provides option "Do not detect data types" (Earlier version of Excel has different verbiage to interpret numbers as text)

There are potential long term effects from most infections, especially in the elderly. Other infections can cause long term problems, and it's still super early for COVID to talk about long term effects. I remember getting pneumonia in my twenties and it taking 3 months for my lungs to fully recover.

We still don't understand exactly what happens with Lymes Disease. Is the immune system left in a state where it's continually fighting/reacting to an infection that's no longer present?

The 1976 swine flu vaccine also may have cause neurological issues for up to 4,000 of the millions who received it[1]. Would they have had the same symptoms from an actual infection from the flu? Potentially. It'd difficult to know, but people do have long term issues from other viruses, especially if they're older or have other underlying health conditions. It's not unprecedented.

We should be spending a lot less time inventing new languages and spending a lot more time working on tools for existing languages. If we did, all languages would be better, and the languages we did design would be designed to make it easy to make tools that help us use them.
Just like law enforcement has always done, it uses the tools at its disposal. There are many mechanisms that require elevation and precedence already like a subpoena. Further more pgp is already in the wild, this bill will just force liability over towards the platforms and make them open up.

A fundamental requirement of a free society is encrypted communication, always has been. Im amazed given how the police state has grown since 9/11 that there are 'poor police' arguments et all.

Another thing that interests me is the approach that Benjamin Franklin described in his autobiography to improve his writing.

He would read writing that he liked, note it carefully, and then after a few days he would try to reproduce the writing. Finally, he would tally it with the original writing to correct mistakes.

I'm really wondering how can it identify returning visitor without using cookies. Local storage?
Yes, but there are at least 100 million people (probably a lot more) still at risk in the US alone. An optimistic scenario of 0.1% of 100 million over six months requiring hospital care is 17,000 people per month being admitted to hospital for covid-19 alone. The level of care many of these people require is very high. We don't have the capacity to do it with our current healthcare system, even with these generous assumptions.

Individual risk is low, but collective risk is unacceptably high.

Switching between games is a non-trivial (yeah yeah mock me, 1st world problems) thing on the ps4 in that the active game must be quit first, then the new loaded. You may not be on a suitable spot to quit either, far from save point. On ps5 (or xsx) it's supposedly a very quick alt-tab kind of thing.

> How many cubic feet of soil, at what depth, do I need in order to stop purchasing food plants from the store, year-round.

While this is a pipe-dream of many gardeners, it's not necessarily realistic. You would need at least a hyper-efficient acre of land (which would take a few years to design) to provide for a family and neighbours. I think it's a lot easier than we've been lead to believe. You can do it for free (or very cheap) and with very little "quality" inputs.

I appreciate your input with this list! We will definitely take it into account.

The beauty of plants is their ability to adapt. Obviously you need depth of soil for root crops, but herbs will grow in a yogurt container, and strawberries will grow in 4 inches of sand.

Regarding your list, there's an important distinction to make here. While you don't want to argue about "fruit or vegetable" - one of the limiting factors in your list is actually growth habits of said plant. For instance strawberries will grow perennially, and thus will grow in sand with a handful of woodchips, or forest soil or compost -- whereas lettuce, will require a nutrient-rich soil with relative shelter from rain and sun.

One of the principles we chase in permaculture is efficiency, via "stacking of functions": For example, I would grow many of things in your list together, in a way that would require only a large pot of soil, top-dressed throughout the year with whatever biomass waste you have on hand (grass clippings, leaves, etc).

I'd plant a dwarf fruit tree in a large pot, surround with a rosemary shrub, plant the outer layer with strawberry and thyme to act as a ground-cover. This would require very little in regards to skill or input. The plants themselves carry the difficult tasks, such as pest control and mulch (keeping the moisture in the soil), by mimicking natural niches.

Now, depending how much soil/space you have at your disposal will directly affect your output. That would be a concern for aspiring farmers -- not necessarily your backyard gardener!
Please read the article. Tesla is dissolving Elon.
This is tautological, sub-saharan genetic markers are found predominantly in sub-saharan populations by definition.

Given how humanity has evolved, "european" markers are a subset of the diversity found in subsaharan populations that are overrepresented from founder effects, with very few exceptions. 40,000 years ago sounds like a long time, but it really isn't.

You need an amazingly small amount of migration (about one person per generation) to keep a population in sync with each other genetically.

From the article:

> But he warned that until we figure out what is causing long Covid "it is difficult to figure out treatments."

If scientists don't know what is causing "Long Covid", then they don't know what is causing "Covid". Yet, many treatments have been developed for Covid.

If we accept our ability to treat without full knowledge of origin, then "Long Covid" can be treated, as has been done for Covid.

If "Long Covid" deserves a different status due to unknown origin, then the same standard can be applied to the unknown origin of Covid.

Sounds like you are under the illusion that human beings are a species worth saving, but if you look at the destruction we have caused over the past 100k years, you can make an argument for the opposite, especially in the past 200 years since the industrial revolution.

Human will not change. We will cause destruction no matter where we go, no matter the planet or galaxy, we will destroy it and move on. Even with all our technological advances, we are causing more destruction than ever.

Humans unsettle the balance of nature, we are the problem.

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus."

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience with Haskell! Sorry to hear it wasn't a pleasant one. There is no overall authority in the Haskell world so I'm taking it upon myself to improve the experience of Haskell developers where I can[1]. If you would be happy to expand about the things you struggled with I would be very interested to hear concrete details, either here or on my issue tracker[2]. The things I am curious about are:

> The documentation and tutorials for various libraries is often incomplete, outdated and written in a hard to grok plain text document

I am keen to make an effort to remove outdated documentation and to complete incomplete documentation. If you give specific examples I shall try to do so.

> Asking questions can also be painful as there’s definitely a tinge of elitism to some of the power members.

Could you say which forums you discovered "elite power members"? For example, was it Reddit, Haskell-Cafe mailing list, #haskell IRC channel, Discord server?

> Secondly, the conventions that are often encouraged go against writing clear and understandable code. Function names are small. You have interface functions (doThis) that exist just to call private functions (doThis’).

For better or worse, that's the way the community likes to program. I'm not sure there's much I can do about that unless you have specific examples of code that could be rewritten to be clearer.

> These odd conventions get compounded by a lot of warts on the language itself.

Did you have any specific warts in mind?

> For feature flags there’s a standard set of 20 that every experienced Haskeller turns on but good luck finding that out as a beginner, and good luck finding out that’s why the example isn’t working for you.

Were there specific "feature flags" (called "extensions" in GHC) that you needed to turn on but that the compiler didn't tell you that you needed to turn on? That's uncommon (though it is possible, OverloadedStrings is one such example).

Which examples did you try that didn't work because they didn't mention which extensions needed to be enabled? If you report them to me I will try to get them fixed upstream.

> The repl often breaks

Could you say more about in which way the repl ("GHCi") often breaks?

> And you sometimes run into hidden libraries that are in your project but arent accessable until you import them.

Could you say more? That sounds like something that could well be true but I can't see how it's a problem. You have to import libraries in many languages (Julia, Python, ...). What went wrong here?

Thanks for any light you may be able to shed.
