Exactly. Losing your sense of smell is a strange and specific enough thing that, in this study, 80% of the people who volunteered because they noticed a loss of smell tested positive for COVID. But that doesn't mean 80% of people with COVID lose their sense of smell - other studies report "that the incidence rate of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 patients varies from 33.9–68%".

I am on an old Samsung must be at least a decade old and has zero internet connectivity. I really like my tv but lately the newer screens really just pop out the 1080 just doesn't cut it for me any more.
I've been driving for around 2.5 years now, and whether I'm using GPS or not I could never tell you a single road I drove on or even the general direction I'm going. I just turn the wheel some number of times. If I've driven the same route a hundred times and today one road is closed, I'm totally lost and need to pull over.

But when I bike or walk somewhere it makes so much more sense, I can actually navigate in real time and think about shortcuts or plan a route without having done it before. It's one of many, many reasons why I hate driving.
> By that logic sugar and gasoline don't get converted to energy either.

They do not!

Some of the energy that was trapped in chemical bonds get released. Sugar and gasoline 'don't get converted to energy'. They CAN be used to create work (including electricity).
This is one problem I think remote learning could solve, like geographic arbitrage.

Just like before Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc you had one cable provider in your location, the package gave you some of the channels you wanted but never everything, and a lot of channels you didn't now you can do what you want, and your provider isn't based on your geographic location.

Remote learning allows you to choose a school, or even a teacher based on your kids needs. Pick one that has the teaching method you want, say you have a kid with dyslexia but none of the teachers in your local school have experience with it. You can now go to the "school" or class with the teacher that specializes in teaching kids with dyslexia. Your school system doesn't pay enough to hire and keep good teachers or at least live comfortably in your area? Say 40-60k in your city doesn't go far enough there, but the teacher could be in a cheaper city or state as long as they're board certified in your state. The inverse could be true, a really good teacher could work for NYC schools making good money, but live in NY State. Some rural communities are hiring teachers out of the Philippines because they can't find good teachers willing to live in those areas, remote learning may also help solve this need.

This is kind of pedantic, but to my understanding, even normal exothermic chemical reactions do convert mass to energy. It’s just that the amount of mass lost is extremely negligible. Conservation of mass is an oversimplification that is close enough to match any real world measurement you’d care about.

Nuclear reactions are when you start getting into doing mass-energy conversion at scale.

Note that Dr Berg is not a medical doctor.

I would highly recommand that you rather go see a medical doctor to discuss this loss of smell. It could be other things than COVID.
I think there are some stimulant properties with psychedelics that I wouldn't be surprised if reaction times were improved. One thing I noticed from my experiences with LSD was that I could run seemingly indefinitely without tiring, and drink quite a lot of beer as if it were water and not feel drunk, when that same dosage while otherwise sober would make me struggle to walk. I think it would be too tough to stay focused on an empirical task to truly measure this, however. My mind might be running quite fast, but is easily distracted in this state.

Historically, Dock Ellis threw a no hitter while tripping on LSD. He could scarcely see the home plate through all the visualizations, but he did it.

I think this is it exactly. You could roll your own if you wanted and package it as a library without too much difficulty and I haven’t found compelling reasons why any one static generator is superior to another. It seems to come down to which generators are supported by default by your hosting service, or your language of preference if you’re building custom extensions.

The illusion of control and the ability to make a difference. It's why tech-minded people are notorious for trying to find clean technical solutions for messy social/political problems. It's comforting to feel you can reduce a vast societal problem to something you can tinker with in your living room and solve, and doing so also gives you a feeling of power and control.
Right. Fiber is a debatable source of calories since their precise metabolism can change based on gut flora. As someone who lost 100lbs through calorie counting and exercise, just that subject alone was a long and interesting study. Some nutrition labels will assign them 0 calories, a seemingly benign 10 calories, or the same calories as other carbohydrates.

I supplement Zinc as part of my daily stack before, during, and since Covid-19. Unfortunately, this is a relatively widespread issue.

This is an interesting observation. I know several cultures typically have children living with parents until they are married, but I've (anecdotally) noticed they tend to have very different relationships with their parents. Parents are much more involved in their children's lives and decisions they make, sometimes to the detriment of the children.

While this is correct about the theoretical effects of small N, an equally important factor in this day and age would be the cache. If that lovely little linked list causes O(N) cache misses through Java-style pointer-chasing... you are suddenly looking a a very slow hashmap.

Cache effects tend to mean that open addressing works out faster/more predictable in real world conditions.

Is it safe to say that taking an apple and manipulating it without adding anything to it could never INCREASE the calories available?

So is the reason that the calorie content in the apple changes in blending due to how difficult (or not difficult) it is to digest?
> Definitely, any use of class constructs with data members and member functions is OOP.

Definitely not.

OOP requires, also, runtime binding and polymorphism. You can get the polymorphism by inheritance, delegation, or what-have-you. You can get runtime binding with a vtable or a name lookup.

The usual term for just-encapsulation is "object-based". The STL is definitively not object-oriented, according to its author, Stepanov, who has said that giving the STL classes member functions was a mistake.

OOP is a niche technique. It has uses, sometimes. More often, a function pointer suffices.
> You're paying more for the fact that some models are built to last longer

Not just built to last longer, but built to last in a lot of different environments (heat, cold, humidity, vandalism, vibrations) whereas consumer TVs are optimized to run at 20-25 °C in a home where they will be rarely moved. The QA on the panels is much more rigorous, too (it's the same thing as with Intel CPUs, the yield on panels hitting the standards for commercial signage is lower than your average consumer TV).

Also, you'll be getting spare parts for these in a decade if you need it (or, at the very least, can purchase a new device with identical specs in that time), there will be support from the manufacturer over that time, and more often than not you'll be able to find decent documentation about how to integrate them into whatever you're building.

And: some of these carry amazing features. Some two years ago when I was doing videography stuff for an event, there were four 60 inch full-HD monitors in a 2x2 grid - supplied with one DVI cable for the signal that was passed between them using in daisy chain mode, they were configurable to run in grids of up to 4x4 I believe, and the monitors simply took the incoming signal, cropped their section out of it, and displayed it scaled. Was a hell of a lot of fun playing with them.

It's a garbage article, with logical holes.

Even with accessors like (point-z p), a structure is not more verbose than (caddr p) or (third p); it can't be that someone avoids using a struct because (third p) is much less verbose.

I don't know of a Lisp programmer who wouldn't write a function called point-z (or whatever) to make it clear that it accesses a Z coordinate, even if a list is used during prototyping, so that the code is more readable and easier to change later.

Most Lisp programs and programmers avoid structures? Where are the numbers on this? Maybe the author looked mostly at Emacs Lisp code bases.

Depending on the TV, you can update them via USB. Can stick them in dev mode and sideload apps too. On my last Samsung it was the only way to use twitch/plex on the thing.
what happens in the U.S. is that white people take everyone's culture and continue to marginalize and disrespect minorities. It happened with the bible. It happened with karate. It happened with rock music. So people kind of have their guard up. Misinformation is so rampant here that adele very well could become the inventor of dred locks if people don't make enough noise about it.

So people still react like this because it wasn't too long ago that back to the future was implying that Chuck Berry stole the idea for Johnny B Good from a white person. That's an example right there straight from my parents' childhood.

It's hard to really elaborate because everything is a package deal. California is silly expensive, but comes with a lot of social problems. New York is the same to a large degree. The midwest is cheap, but opportunity is more scarce. Most places in Europe just don't pay well, charge way too much tax, and then don't provide nearly the quality of social service many Americans believe they do.

Nevada is the middle ground of a lot of these places. You have mountains if you like snow, you don't have to deal with snow (ever) if you don't want to. You have pretty good infrastructure if you want to work remotely, you can fly to LA in 45 minutes if you have to for work. (I'm convinced there are instances where it's faster to commute from Las Vegas to LA than from...outside of LA to LA). Typical commute time in Las Vegas is probably on the order of 15-20 minutes. Under normal traffic conditions you can make it from one end of the city to the other in 45 minutes or less.

Socially, there's less politics here in general. Less of the NIMBY folks pushing for poor policy and zoning. Less protesting/rioting/looting. If I had to guess, the average person here owns a firearm, but nobody ever really seems to notice or care. Crime is comparable to California overall but there's more places in LA that I would put on my "never go to" list than in Vegas. And, while we definitely have homelessness, it's substantially less than when I was recently in LA.

With all of that having been said I think the most important thing is cost. My fiance, at 22 (and with no college degree) makes 17/hr doing admin work for a local construction company. She just bought her own house and is living comfortably. She did that without any financial assistance from me, or her parents, because it wasn't necessary. Her mortgage is under 1k/m for 1800(ish?) square feet of a reasonably modern house.
Still the right thing to not pay up. If nobody pays they will give up eventually.

Make sure that you have good backups. So you can laugh at their demands.
You exhale it. The opposite happens with trees. They get their mass from inhaling, not the soil.
Thank you so much for this answer.
I can't image that the mechanism isn't taught. I mean, this is basic biology that we probably all learned in middle school, and certainly had to learn in chemistry class. But I think we just fail to put 2-and-2 together, even the teachers. I think I was in my late 20s when it dawned on me that I was exhaling the food I ate. But I came to that realization in a matter of seconds based on first principles--principles learned in middle and high school.

Economics is similar. Almost every undergraduate students take economics. And Economics 101 is a pretty simple topic. But very few people learn to "think like an economist", even many economists. I guess alot of subjects are like this--real life isn't like the examples in textbooks, but that doesn't mean the rules and principles don't apply just the same. They do apply. Things can quickly get more complicated than in the textbooks. Perhaps we translate "complicated" to "it doesn't apply" rather than what we should be thinking: it does apply just the same, but so do other dynamics, and the interactions can produce counter-intuitive results.

> could never INCREASE the calories available?

It wouldn't add calories, but it would make more calories available in the sense that your body is able to extract them.

For instance, cooking food makes more calories bio-available.

You realize by then, those places will likely be like IBM by then. You'll be the same as a parent wanting their kid to get a job with the local factory, because its what did you so well all these years, and arguing with the kid when they want to do something different, then the factory shuts down in 5 years. What you want is your kid to be versatile enough to go to whatever is the thing by then, and it might not even be a "tech" company. At least not in the traditional sense because at some point all companies are tech companies, especially as time goes on. Even Walmart is a tech company since they only require humans to man the stores to put things on the shelves and drive the trucks at this point.
This seems like a slightly less optimized, simpler form of finger trees, which are more common in pure functional languages as a persistent data structure.

Finger trees can be paired with a monoidal function efficiently which is recomputed on node insertion and removal.

This segment tree looks like an in-place version of a finger tree that's a bit harder to extend. Finger trees are a great tradeoff data structure with constant time insertion at the end or beginning, constant time reversal (forward and backward traversal), log n merge and split, and log n random access insertion. Just a wonderful data structure.

> Instead of trusting, say, the Debian or OpenBSD maintainers to provide timely security updates, you have to trust each individual vendor of your flatpaks.

Well, yes, and it's the most obvious approach. You're trusting the person producing the product for producing a good product.

The distro approach is great, but it doesn't scale well for obvious reasons and it makes software development harder due to downstream issues often going reported as upstream issues.

I appreciate and enjoy the distro approach for what it gives me, but there should always be a way for developers to provide packaging that works everywhere and then distro maintainers can feel free to recompile/repackage as they please.
