In my early 30s: Pretty sure I had COVID-19 in early March 2020. I had shortness of breath for a couple of days and I was feverish for about 8 weeks.

Afterwards, I have severe fatigue. I also experienced bouts, off an on for like a week or two at a time, where I could not physically get warm, and I was freezing to death, no matter what I did.

I also have severe dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) which I had prior to probably having COVID-19, which got worse. However, it is much improved now. People who got dysautonomia from COVID-19, by the way, can expect for it to significantly improve, or go away. Just focus on resting. It is a brutal disease, trust me, but you can get through it.

I also had cognitive issues, with respect to memory, which has improved significantly.

My best tip: Get a Garmin watch, that has the "Body Battery" function. It's a literal lifesaver. Do not let the "Body Battery" ever go under a 20 (out of 100) score, ever. You will pay a huge price if you do. Use the "Body Battery" to gauge if you can exert yourself or you need to rest. (It also determines if you got a good night's rest.) By the way, it works based on heart rate variability, and is quite accurate.

Here is a good Physical Therapy presentation on the current situation: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/hpsp/if-hps...

Other tips: This is the ultimate site on fatigue. Unfortunately it is in Norwegian, so you have to use Google Translate for the website (and the PDF documents--which are great): https://www.kognitiv.no/psykisk-helse/ulike-lidelser/utmatte...

It is based on the book "Energityvene" which is called Energy Thieves. Unfortunately there is not an English version.

I hope this helps.
> this article says the incident rate for covid-19 is 25%, which is shockingly high.

To be fair, we're not fully aware of all the cases of COVID. Most likely, many people had COVID but didn't know. Because we didn't have proper testing for a long time, our sampling of 'those who had COVID' is almost certainly wrong
Yep methane is multiple times more potent as a greenhouse gas.
Besides the engineering reasons others have pointed out, some of these waveforms tend to occur in wind instruments. For example a flute produces a waveform close (for some definition of "close") to a sine wave and clarinets produce a waveform closer to a square wave. Thus these waves sound somewhat familiar to most listeners before you start subtracting harmonics. (I don't know that a sawtooth is similar to a natural instrument but it's popular in subtractive synthesis because it's a rich source of harmonics.)

In the early days of synthesizers the goal was to emulate non-electronic instruments, so familiar waveforms were desirable. Then Bob Moog came along and said "Synthesizers are instrumemts in their own right and should not be considered as imitating something else" and then Wendy Carlos released Switched-On Bach and the rest is history.
Maybe how Louis XVI got caught while trying to flee France. He bought a drink with a coin and got recognized because his face was on it.

Had he not been executed and been able to rally a friendly monarchy, I dont know if the revolution would have taken the same route.
I would have rather had a new Smart Battery Case with a MagSafe coil on the outside.

Why not invest that directly in various different prototyped technologies already being developed for this _now_ to accelerate the process?

> Moderators work for free, so you get what you pay for.

Moderating a subreddit is not a job. Moderators are regular users from the community who are picked to have a say in how the community is regulated.

> The automod feature on r/web_design for instance blocks any post that has "Wordpress" in it. The reason given is that WP theme providers spam the subreddit. But it also kills legitimate discussion of Wordpress.

Good to see that you're agreeing with me, unless you believe that mods fixing a problem without resorting to a walled garden is somehow a counterexample.

> The mods don't care. Their convenience comes first.

You're needlessly overgeneralizing. Using an automated filter that's prone to false positives is not a problem at all, or refutes the point I made. In fact, it supports the fact that forcing a walled garden is needed or desirable.

I supposed the term 'safe' is pretty relative in this case.
My first PC sound card was an AdLib, which used a Yamaha FM chip. That thing was incredibly cool at the time. It had a jukebox[1], instrument creator[2], and composition software[3]. Lots of early Sierra and LucasArts games used it.

Almost all early sound cards had an FM chip, so I forget that people today might not have been exposed to this tech.

Also, there is the interesting area between the AdLib ROL/MIDI synthesis and full blown digitized audio such as wav/mp3... the demoscene was sampling digital audio, chopping it up (MOD/S3M/etc. file format). The result was a wav-like audio file in a tiny file size. Some of the tracker formats, such as Scream Tracker I believe, could do both FM synth and PCM output[4]

Also that if the first disease wasn't covid, getting covid the second time around isn't that unlikely, but if the first disease was covid, getting covid again was shockingly unlikely (not impossible) because of the degree of immunity granted by the first infection.
That's about how mine is too. I had Covid late November/early December (likely caught it from a student right before the shut schools back down) and it was very mild. Only noticeable issues was a sinus-like sore throat/ear, no taste/smell and being cold. No fever. I even actually exercised during that time, keeping to 10k steps a day walking in circles around my house. All over within 5 days of first symptoms showing (and man, that first good meal after getting taste back was heavenly)

But since then I've been having random heart arrhythmia, which are also getting less frequent, as well numbness in my arms and legs. Like the tingling you get when it's asleep, but without any cause for it to go to sleep, etc. Never attributed that to post-Covid until I talked to my PCP about it recently. Still really hoping there's nothing permanently wrong, but at least endurance doesn't seem to have permanently suffered -- I actually sat my fastest 2mi run time on the treadmill yesterday.
Breathing exercises and meditation/yoga may help, both with heart and lungs. Worth a try along with long covid support/meetups.
Would anyone else just be fine with a thick phone that had a better internal battery? I would prefer that. To me, this battery pack is a symptom of a systemic design flaw. Consumers and companies are obsessed with thinner, sleeker devices, but the costs are obvious-- slimmer phone, smaller battery.

When the Xbox 360 came out, it was substantially smaller than the original Xbox. But, most of the space savings came from moving a huge chunk of the power supply unit into the power cable! So now you had a massive cable and a smaller device, so it was really just for show. The overall system itself was still the same damn size!

Another consequence of thinner phones is less protection. Drop your phone once, and the chances you shatter the screen are high. There's an entire protection economy around phones-- everything from insurance to cases to glass screen protectors. All of these expenses and "opportunities" could be circumvented if they just made a fat, ugly, functional phone.
As long as you guarantee delivery to your message queue before acknowledging receipt, you should be golden.

Also, swapping out one messaging system for another is trivial. Pick the one best suited to the environment you're working in, and if that environment changes, changing messaging queues is going to be one the easiest transitions you'll make.
From personal experience, the symptoms being described by all of the posts on this thread overlap substantially with depression and anxiety. It's notable that the GP went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a possible panic attack. Panic attacks frequently cause your heart to race, skip, etc. Depression causes "brain fog" and fatigue, body aches, etc.

So far, ~all of the reports of "long covid" are anecdotal and post hoc. Which is not to say that they aren't real, but that there's no way of knowing what is causes by the virus, and what is caused by a year in which a significant portion of the population was isolated from contact and systematically terrified.

I've personally had "brain fog", insomnia, fatigue and distraction for the last year, and never had Covid. It's been a difficult, depressing, scary year, and a lot of people have these symptoms.

> If the follower goes down, when it comes back it can page through the history at its leisure. There is no queue, nor workers on each end trying to pass events along as a bucket brigade.

Sure, there is no queue. There is an append only log. Kafka is not a queue but an append only log.

I do not like the proposed solution. I do not like it because it assumes that I have to maintain the infrastructure to do all the distributed logging on my end. As in, most likely I have to maintain a Kafka cluster.

There’s also one thing glossed over in this article. What if your consumer went past certain messages but it mishandled them? You can go to the past either.

If your consumer needs ordered delivery, web hooks might not be the best solution, indeed. But it might cost you more because I need additional infra to provide you with that.
Gaius Octavius (later known as Augustus) at age of approximately 17 was able to convince his mother to let him join his great uncle Julius in Hispania. He impressed Julius so much that upon return to Rome Julius updated his will to make Octavius his primary beneficiary.

Julius' murder two years later on 15 March 44BC resulted in Octavian traveling to Rome to claim his inheritance, winning the loyalty of much of the army in the ensuing chaos, defeating and executing a number of heavy hitters including Mark Antony, Cleopatra, and Caesarion (Julius' son with Cleopatra), and eventually becoming the first Roman Emperor.
Thank you for the explanation. I’m already frustrated that the iPhone doesn’t include enough battery for a full day of work (when the iPhone 7 could last several days initially), I find it amusing that Apple proposes an additional “short-term” battery.
True although I wasn't referring just to the competition - it would be good to come up with sustainable solutions in general.
> Long covid asserts that people with very mild symptoms are also likely to suffer long term. This is controversial.

I'm not sure I understand. My symptoms I described above were never that bad. Were it not for waking up my newborn, I wouldn't have gone in to the doctor. It was just a mild discomfort for a long time for me
I REALLY want Apple to switch to USB-C, but having one cable for a battery pack stuck to your phone and one for the phone itself would be obnoxious
What bums me out the most is that it doesn't seem like it's even ok to ask why some people don't seem to want it and to figure out if they can be convinced.

I'm sure some folks have ideological opposition but it seems like a lot of the discussion is about how they're bad people for not doing what they're told to or supposed to want to. I don't feel like I have ever convinced anyone of anything by arguing to them that they're wrong. Most of the time when you change someone's mind it's by listening deeply and figuring out what they really mean or really want rather than what they're saying.

I'm sure I've missed something important but I can't shake the feeling that the vaccine debate is just another battle in the growing war of political polarization.
My friend was diagnosed with ME/CFS after a stroke at age 27. The term "myalgic encephalitis" is the preferred term, as I understand it, because the public seems to be unable to take a phrase like "chronic fatigue syndrome" seriously. In America at least, our puritan personality insists that "fatigue" is a sign of laziness.

If there's an upside to Covid-19, I hope that it's that the symptoms of ME/CFS are taken more seriously by the public and scientific community, and that the results of further research on "long covid" are transferrable.

Those here who are experiencing Long Covid symptoms should keep an eye on a drug called Ampligen. It is the first and only drug that has been approved for the treatment of ME/CFS, but thus far only in Argentina. There are a couple ongoing studies in the United States (one in Lake Tahoe), but no FDA approval yet. Recently, Ampligen has been put into trials for the treatment of Long Covid as well.

Take a short walk, stretch, get a glass of water, use the restroom.
My top two hits were that one and an article about scams, your Google mileage may vary.

Sorry, if you go through and read that article, it doesn't look good at all. No, cryptocurrency will not help us go green, just to single out the worst whopper. It was written in 2017 and suggests that payment using cryptocurrency for travel, online publication, etc will be widespread. Four years later, nope.
The joke is that they go out of their way to tell people about it. Like, I tried the vegan diet, but gave it up after telling my cousin.
In the past, Apple was happy to make forwardlooking decisions regardless of today's market penetration (remember the floppy to CD uproar? And the removal of DVD drives?). It's kinda humorous that today my MacBook Pro's plug-in accessories (dongles, chargers, headphones, etc) work better with my Android phone than they would if I was totally bought into Apple's ecosystem
> Basically no one who's been vaccinated has died.

Somebody dying 15 minutes after receiving the so-called vaccine is quite a coincidence. The problem is twofold. Anybody who died while having Covid was diagnosed as a Covid death, even if they already had terminal cancer or was involved with a fatal accident. Anybody who died after receiving a covid vaccine is treated as if the vaccine had no effect on their health. There needs to be a transparent audit on how these number came about. Autopsies need to be released as well. The opponents of the vaccines see glaring contradictions & obvious manipulation of the data.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/MLl3YTV70iYC/

The other major issue is that vaccine manufacturers & pushers are exempt from legal liability. They could introduce a genocidal poison & no court of law would be able to touch them.
My understanding is that long polling is the thing that will reliably work at scale. Perhaps this changed in the past few years, but I’ve asked various companies like PubNub why they only use long polling and the answer was that there are too many incompatibilities out there in the wild for anything but that.
I have a job where I get to do a lot of the requirements in addition to the development and trust me, it is just more work and I am more burnt out for it.
This is highly likely. They'll probably just include a magsafe charger and run data over it for dev purposes. But knowing Apple the data magsafe will cost more/ be an add-on
> far-right talking point

Expressing skepticism surrounding the efficiency of social distancing, masks, "non essential business" and all these lockdowns is not a "far right" talking point. None of our response was in any playbook for this level of threat. We threw out all our pandemic planning in a fit on hysteria and panic.

To this day we cannot say for certain that lockdowns did anything at all, let alone enough to justify their social costs. Same with social distancing or even masks for that matter. The fact that all this can be considered an uncontrolled experiment on unwilling participants is not "far right" thinking.
> In 1983, the 61-year-old potato farmer won the inaugural Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, a distance of 875 kilometres (544 mi). The race was run between what were then Australia's two largest Westfield shopping centres, Westfield Parramatta in Sydney and Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne.[8] Young arrived to compete in overalls and work boots, without his dentures (later saying that they rattled when he ran).[9] He ran at a slow and loping pace and trailed the pack by a large margin at the end of the first day. While the other competitors stopped to sleep for six hours, Young kept running. He ran continuously for five days, taking the lead during the first night and eventually winning by 10 hours. Before running the race, he had told the press that he had previously run for two to three days straight rounding up sheep in gumboots.[10] He said afterwards that during the race he imagined he was running after sheep trying to outrun a storm. The Westfield run took him five days, fifteen hours and four minutes,[1] almost two days faster than the previous record for any run between Sydney and Melbourne, at an average speed of 6.5 kilometres per hour (4.0 mph). All six competitors who finished the race broke the old record. Upon being awarded the prize of A$10,000 (equivalent to $32,067 in 2018), Young said that he did not know there was a prize and that he felt bad accepting it as each of the other five runners who finished had worked as hard as he did—so he split the money equally between them, keeping none.

I got iPhone 12 Pro Max a few months back, and I must say I don’t see a need for another battery pack. It easily lasts me a whole day of heavy usage.
I like crypto because its faster than waiting 2-3 business days to get paid, like with VISA/Mastercad.
Absolutely.

A strong recreational cyclist might have an FTP of 4 w/kg (FTP = functional threshold power = power one can maintain for an hour in perfect conditions). I can hit that target at peak fitness, but most of the year, I'm well below.

Mathieu van der Poel is about 75kg with an FTP above 400 watts. Over 5w/kg. He's a relatively heavy professional cyclist, but an amazing all around cyclist who can climb, sprint, and win just about any day.

Tadej Pogacar, the current Tour leader, weighs about the same as me (68kg), but has an FTP somewhere around 400 watts. Or 5.8w/kg.

Of course, 1 hour power isn't everything. The 5, 10, and 20 minute power these guys can generate is even more mind-boggling (not to mention more critical on race day, as they have to cover attacks and break-aways).
"But he is manipulating the Crypto market"

Good. If you invested without thinking into crypto, 100% full responsibility is on you. Elon is just a litmus test how fragile crypto currencies are and how they can be manipulated. Fully functional adults need to be a bit more cautious with their funds. We're not talking about people with mental issues here.

Elon has got a shitty attitude regarding his popularity/celebrity status but the things he has done to improve the world dwarfs his misdeeds. For some reason public loves grocery-store aisle tabloids and Elon is no exception to this gossip. The tabloid now is in the form of Twitter.
They claim that their technology will "replace fossil fuels". If it actually hits a price point where that's possible than I'd expect it to not be a problem either way.

I guess in that future we're getting power mainly from renewables and using hydrocarbons as power storage? We'd probably be using those same hydrocarbons to make plastics and the like as well.

Still, halting new fossil fuel extraction would be an excellent first step, even though the energy costs don't make much sense to me.
Hopefully if it's a system like payments where you not only need to know state, you also need to know the time and nature of all transitions, there's a way to query all of that information.

I'm thinking of simpler situations like my source host's CI spinner that seems to get stuck all the time due to missing the ping back from Jenkins about build statuses. In that case it really would be fine to always just say "I think the state is X, please answer me now or in the future whenever the state is other than X." I don't care about anything other than an up to date sync.

agreed 100%. but the move to thinness keeps a 'wow' factor going every year or so.
I don't buy this argument.

I am also someone who just wants to get shit done. I've never had an issue with php, c#, ruby, crystal, go, rust, haskell, erlang etc's compilers/interpreters in terms of letting me get what I want done. Yeah, I haven't actually forked or patched those compilers but neither have they been hostile to their users.

The reason I would use literally any of those except Elm is that the maintainer(s) of Elm act like they're Steve Jobs. How can I "get things done" if I'm being told "oh no, you're not allowed to do <standard-thing-X>, we've decided that only us on the Elm team can do that". With other languages, I'm not worried about a version bump pulling the rug out under me, effectively trapping me in the ecosystem unless I want to rewrite everything in a different language. That is also directly the opposite of being productive and getting things done.

There is nothing about an autocratic "you're holding the compiler wrong" governance model that makes any part of a language itself more efficient or fun. Plenty of other languages are as (or more) efficient and fun as Elm, but without the patronizing and condescending attitude of "you're not as smart as us, so do as you're told, and no you can't discuss this with us". There is no way I could justify the risk of adopting elm professionally given the entire rest of the programming language world... doesn't do this. Let me be the one who decides to shoot my own foot off; even Rust (a language pitched on memory safety) allows this with unsafe, etc.

If one wants to control everything exactly and go against almost every other language and most F/OSS projects, then just... make proprietary/source-available software. F/OSS is a give-and-take, and nearly all of us have taken far more than we've given.

And I don't know what John Carmack's "proverbial engineer" is, but I think just about any engineer would prefer to be in control of their tooling and not at the whims of maintainers.
Oh, I know when I was depressed (also as a teenager, but a few years after that). That was a different time and I can talk about that if you like.

But what hit me back then was definitely not depression and/or anxiety. It was some mysterious illness that took me out for a week (kinda typical), but then made me unable to "breath normally" for literally months. It was innately a physical condition: unable to breath, unable to sleep well, unable to feel physically good for months at a time.

A mental depression is... different. I know because I've been through both. In particular, depression doesn't have chronic multi-month breathing issues normally associated with it.

-------------

I only bring it up because the timeframes line up. SARS hit in 2003, roughly the time of my mysterious illness (though I never went to the doctor for it back then. I only knew about SARS because of COVID19 studies today).

Given that SARS and COVID19 have many similarities, I really do wonder if the experience I felt back then is anything like what people with long-COVID19 feel today.
