I currently have this symptom. I ordered extremely spicy Thai food last week. I could feel the heat, but not taste anything at all.

After about 4 days, I regained some ability to differentiate between salty/sour/sweet, but it’s been in and out for the last 2-3 days. I accidentally poured too much mustard on a sandwich at lunch today and could not have told you there was any mustard on it at all in a blind test.
Oh ok thanks for the follow up! I definitely agree it's challenging to replicate that kind of situation virtually. Especially if people eat lunch at different times, low visibility as to when they're not busy etc.
There are a few people who are capable of such remarkable profit-increasing feats. Most companies rarely encounter them, and have never bothered setting up systems to reward that kind of work.

Many of these people eventually end up working at companies that _do_ have such systems. Anecdata: a friend of mine recently found a clever hack that increased ad revenue on a major product by some fraction of a percent for one of the world's largest internet companies. His bonus that year was equivalent to a down payment on a nice house.
To be fair my multimeter has that cancer warning on it from California. A multimeter!?!?
I am a Bernie Sanders progressive... and I am done with this bullshit.

I've been in quarantine for 8 months (not working) taking care of my daughter.

I have no control over other peoples actions and I'm being punished for them. My health has deteriorated quite a bit from not being able to exercise meaningfully. I'm broke from not working, and now they tack on this arbitrary metric?

Can anyone explain why I shouldn't be livid?
I'm unsure where you're going with this comment?
finding a sport/activity that you enjoy is a great way to shift exercise from the work category to the fun category. I had some success on this front with indoor climbing pre-pandemic. unfortunately, my gym now has a ton of restrictions that make it much less convenient to use, so I'm afraid I haven't gone back yet.

I don't think sports can fully substitute for a deliberate workout regimen though. with the possible exception of swimming, I don't think there are any sports that really give a full-body workout.
You can use PHP while hosting in static if you generate all the pages upfront. This is what I do for my website (3 pages, soon 4, for i18n). In addition of i18n, it allows me to generate most of the tedious context by factoring them in functions. I build with a 4 lines script, and upload with another.
Off-hand I suspect your contact book is more valuable than virtually anything publicly available on you. It's also entirely unnecessary to building a lookup-by-email or lookup-by-phone. I'm going to go ahead and say it's a much more evil practice than scraping.

That guarantee/assumption can never really be made.

Message A on event a' from system a might be sent to system b effecting event b' and thus message B to be sent by <insert medium here>, and consumed and correlated by consumer software MC on hardware mc.

However system B might take longer to flush it's hardware/software buffer and the message arrives at mc before message A, for example.

I've encountered this many times. That data has no meaning in itself except in the meta.

> Even if the clocks are synchronised, there will be some drift and the messages may be processed fast enough that the drift puts their timestamps out of order.

If you are consuming from sources which you cannot control the accuracy of the clocks, then you must inherently either reduce your reliance on the need for accuracy (many Windows systems have horrendous clock discipline in their software implementation) or find a way of ensuring accuracy. E.g. close proximity NTP or close proximity PTP etc etc.

Hope that makes sense.
> O(5n) is the same thing as O(n), because we ignore constant factors in O notation.

Even better. f \in O(g) means there is some point and some factor after which f <= c*g. This means O(n²+21371232138091293n) and O(n²) are the same.
It is common! I know as a heart patient I once wore a Holter monitor (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/holter-monitor/a...) and in the process learned that your heartbeat isn't perfect. Pre-beats are pretty common and completely harmless.

Perhaps, but I’m awed with how much we do know and how quickly systems have come into place.
New Zealand has been tracing its outbreaks. This has been valuable and has allowed origins be traced quickly and effectively. Maybe I’m too easily impressed by things like the below:

“Using genomic analysis, researchers in New Zealand looked at more than half the confirmed cases in the country and found a staggering 277 separate introductions in the early months, but also that only 19 percent of introductions led to more than one additional case.”

I don't think they are mutually exclusive. I have no idea how wikipedia works, but I've run a lot of high volume relatively static sites. A simple thing that works very well is to do SSR, but serve it through a CDN like akamai, then configure akamai to serve a static/cached version if the backend is down. Assuming everything is working, you get a semi dynamic SSR model, but if something goes down, the site is still served and you have no customer facing downtime.
I have the same questions ... I heard reports of people that didn't recover their senses weeks after recovery
Would you please stop editing your post?

You've made several substantial changes -- far beyond the scope of a clarification -- and now I'm reluctant to respond at all because who knows what it'll say next.
Of course if you are looking to see whether a lower-case letter is one of a set, you use a bitmap:

bool isvowel(char c){ return (1<<c-'a')&0x104111; }

Often O(1) is better than O(n) even for small n.

Often O(1) is better than O(1).

Modern compilers will turn

bool isvowel(char c){
switch(c){
case'a':case'e':case'i':case'o':case'u':
return true;
}
return false;
}

into sort-of the same code (after a range check).
https://godbolt.org/z/aMcdY6

Looking at the code actually produced, the compiler has noticed that all the vowels are even-numbered characters
(0,4,8,14,20), so combined the range check with a "rotate-right" so it can compress 0x104111 down to 0x495, and shift that right and check the low bit of the result instead of doing a "bt", or bit-test. It's anybody's guess why that is considered better; shifts are supposed to be constant-time; but checking the low bit is a byte-sized operation. So, maybe

bool isvowel(char c){ return (0x104111>>c-'a')&1; }

is better: https://godbolt.org/z/M784cK
I can attest that was pretty hard in 1981, even at in-state rates.
> match both the entire value and the sub-values

I see. Yes, it appears to be either-or for now.

> `ref` is what you'd use in a pattern though

Not in the pattern, in the "argument". Like this: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/eT366s

pub fn f(v: &Option<String>) {
match &v {
other => eprintln!("Doesn't move {:?}", other),
}
}

I would rather not work for a company that contracts to the government, but here I am paying my student loans with their money because that's the job that was available.
Interesting, I'll have a careful read of that but I must point out it was from 90 years ago, a bit outside my stated margin!
When people list their preferred pronouns, why list them all?

Here we have "he/him". Sometimes I see "he/him/his" or "she/her/hers", "they/them/theirs", etc.

I doubt people are mixing and matching among the different types. In other words, I've never seen someone prefer "he/them/hers".

Seems like we can standardize this to just one type (e.g. the subject pronoun). A simple "he", "she", or "they" will do the trick.

Yes, I bikeshedded it. Sue me.
Hey there, sorry about the rapid repost!

Like I mentioned earlier, I think I messed up somehow the first time because it didn't show up on "Ask HN". I hope I didn't make this redundant for any viewer.

Bit new to HN, but very sorry, I'll make sure to not repost in the future so quickly in case it actually is just a timing issue.
I.e. it's a sort of political armband indicating you've fully submitted to globo-corpo neoliberal ideology.
I hesitate to call it virtue signalling because there are other forms of social signalling that aren't about virtue. Safe spaces require effort from the members who already feel safe.

Putting (he/him) in does three things. It invites you to provide your own. It also stops someone from starting a side-argument about you assuming 'he/him' in your response instead of you/your or they/their. Which means that we can talk about what we want to talk about instead of gender politics, if you don't feel like it. Or we can if you need to.
Again. We're failing to address the "so what?" What does this scenario represent that is _the actual problem_ of the matter?

Cant share my enthusiasm for LG TVs.
We have one not yet smart model from around 2015.
Over few software updates it got itself to state where the TV is totally unresponsive to any remote input for up to 1 minute after starting, including volume buttons. If you happen to turn the TV off with high volume from a quiet film, you gonna stand there listening to loud ads next time you run it, and hate every second of it.

The EPG button starts a process that takes about 10 secons everytime to get to actual EPG (screen black and sound stops, epg loading pic, loading finished animation, epg core lines, epg loading data, epg filling up the data, epg resumes playback in a small window inside the epg). Every single time. It shows you 6 channels, and if you keep pressing down you get stuck on a down arrow. Pressing down on a down arrow wont show you next 6 channels, you gotta press down button on remote to get to down arrow in menu, and then press center to actuate the down arrow in the menu. Horrendous.

The only sane way to sort channels is to make a backup of settings on USB, edit the textfile on your PC, and load it back. This I only found out by chance and desperation, even LG support denied any other option than to manually press "move up/down" button on a each channel you want to move for 30+ times to get it where you want.

Factory reset doesnt help, support doesnt help, nothing helps. I will never buy LG TV again.
You appear to be replying to an entirely different article than the one in this submission.

The Linux C++ ABI has broken in at least one massive way recently, as mandated by the standard.

The C ABI is stable, except when it isn't (largefile was a fun one...)
Exactly. At one of my work places, we needed 2FA to log into a vendor portal. So we stuck the username, password, and TOPT in Vault which is protected by corporate AD password only.
Can you expand on this? I've been on/off making websites since '99 and I think have a moderate understanding of the landscapes past and present - I don't see what should be complicated in spitting out HTML onto a webpage.

Sure, if you want to do fancy rendering shit after the matter, go crazy - but HTML should be just HTML, boring Hx tags and all.

Just read this back - not challenging, but not wanting to waste HN mindspace on niceties, lol x

Also, inflation adjustments take into account the increase in prices of all goods & services, including housing -> https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/2019.txt. So even if housing costs have gone up more than overall inflation, other things have fallen, and OVERALL inflation rate is the best rough measure of "cost of living". There's disagreement over which indexes are better (based on how they weight different expenses); CPI-U vs CPI-W give different importance to different goods & services. Importantly, the inflation-adjusted incomes have gone up regardless of which index you choose to use.
These static site generators are mostly operating under the same conceptual model of what a website is and that's both very restrictive and brings in requirements that aren't actually requirements. Posts and categories and date dependent lists. Blogs aren't the only way. You can just make pages. You don't have to 'publish' and have every single page be exactly like every other page on your site.

Maybe they should be called static blog generators instead.
You have to dig through the documentation a bit on the website but all the info is there[1]

from sh import mysqldump
from sh import gzip

gzip(mysqldump("example_db", _piped=True), _out="dump.sql.gz")

or if you don't want the magic import thing:

import sh
sh.gzip(sh.mysqldump("example_db", _piped=True), _out="dump.sql.gz")

It's definitely foreign to shell scripting languages since the piping syntax is a bit different & you have to remember to do `_piped=True` since it's not parallel by default. But the default behavior is pipefail & exit on the command failing IIRC so it's more of a choose your poison thing (do you want a subtle perf issue or a subtle bug in your script not handling error states correctly). And I find it easier to read. + if you want to customize anything about gzip or not rely on needing the binary in the path, then you can just switch it to Python-native gzip pretty easily.

That's my favorite feature. Conciseness if I'm just translating a script with progressive complexity options to migrate things that need more complexity or different requirements within the same script without having to rewrite it from scratch.

The list of things California says doesn't cause cancer is much smaller than its list of recognized human carcinogens. And animals studies are not 1:1 to humans.

Depends on the industry. Could a country make do without textiles imports for a couple of years during a conflict? Probably. Could it do without food? Probably not.
Sorry, I totally misinterpreted your comment before you edited it. I still don't understand a few things though.

> Profession like engineering, arts, temple building, city planning were all done by the 4th class.

What's the use of this "class system" if one class covers such a broad area? Isn't it so broad as to be useless?

> clearly saying everyone is born lower class unless they earn their place.

Was this ever true in practice? It's definitely not true in the present, and I find it hard to believe that parents were ever so enlightened as to compel their children to "earn their place" through such struggle.
It was eerie how much of this post reminded me of my experiences in the 90s, and I lived over a thousand miles away from the author. I was relaxed & confident because I could always find an easy job that paid the bills.

I had no frame of reference whatsoever to even understand that things were changing at all, let alone how or why. I thought I would have time to wait until the 'perfect fit' came along. I was wrong.
If it blew up in a few months due to some unforeseen problem, the intern would receive some of that risk in the form of a pink slip and a bad reference.
Older: Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was dismissed for around four decades before it was reinvented by someone else and accepted by geologists.

Recently: transgenerational epigenetics was considered a violation of the Central Dogma of biology, but since then evidence has piled up and it's now considered a legitimate area of research.

The jury is out in high energy physics where SUSY and string theory elbowed some (possibly) more interesting competitors out of the way. It's too early to tell how that will work out - but it is clear that some approaches get a lot more funding and attention than others, and this seems to be for political rather than objectively scientific reasons.
The strangest thing about my DMT time loops was that even though my perception of external time was dragged back and forth, I still have the memory of an internal chronology that was largely present throughout the experience, with gaps here and there
There are carcinogens and there are CARCINOGENS. Hot water is technically a carcinogen. Drinking water that is too hot can increase the risk of throat cancer. This doesn't mean we can't use them. We just have to be aware of the risks.

This is a fair point, but the problem in this case is that the country hasn't figured out how to provide for them.

You'd need to make a compelling reason for incentivizing it if anything.

Western countries are incentivized by corporate interests. Corporate interests don't care for children because they get in the way of profits. You'd need someone who can rise above corporate interests to do things like health care, children, human rights, etc.
Fron when to when? I lived there between 2004 and 2009 and I thought there were a a lot of transitions (like the era matters a lot).
Right, but if the backend goes down, and you serve a stale cached version of the page that is missing the latest edit, it's fine and you have no downtime. That's what I mean by static.

The opposite of static would be an e-commerce site where you can't take transactions if the backend is down and you really don't want to oversell your inventory, so you need the inventory management system to be up for the site to "work".

Also, the average wikipedia page probably isn't edited very often.
Is there evidence to suggest that standard immune response to coronaviruses doesn't apply to this particular strain?
Correct - just like an evildoer who had your yubikey could generate and save a bunch of yubikey key strings, they could also generate and save a bunch of time-based codes for times in the future by changing the host clock.

You can use a bidirectional challenge-response between the yubikey and a trusted server - that's what U2F does.

But honestly, if an attacker has both your password and physical possession of your 2fa token, it's already game over.
I know nothing about grape biology so it may be a dumb question, but how would these grape plants be pollinated? Do you need some kind of insect? or does someone have to walk around the greenhouse, shaking the vines or brushing the flowers with a paintbrush?
The protocol to get video-out isn’t proprietary, just rare —they’re using Mobility DisplayPort from the Switch, and converting DP to HDMI in the dock.

Of course, had they used the native HDMI side-channel (which I’m not sure had been finalized at the time), they would have been able to skip this step.
Author here. Yeah that makes sense. I didn't realize it at the time.

However, I think the example still demonstrates the larger point that I was making. `.includes` takes linear time proportional to the array that calls it, but the fact that it's linear time isn't a bad thing because the size of the array is five.
I said its used for groups of either sex, which it is. I didn't claim (or "pretend") it was gender neutral.

It's not as simple as having multiple definitions: it has different meaning for different contexts, but it otherwise consistent within those contexts.

A "tainted" context is one not generalisable because it is an idiom; much like proper nouns are not generalisable. Using "guys" to refer to mixed groups is generalisable to all situations with similar context - its not an idiom.

> a packaging guy

Is use of "guy" as plural, which I've never seen refer to mixed groups, hence is not the same context.

From the article:

"When the error happened, the system should have carried out what’s called a failover -- an automatic switching to the No. 2 device. But for reasons the exchange’s executives couldn’t explain, that process also failed. That had a knock-on effect on servers called information distribution gateways that are meant to send market information to traders."
