Dianna got better sometime last year as well, just in time to fly home to Hawaii for her father's funeral (yeah ...), but she got a lot worse again later. I really hope things will keep going well for Dianna now.

Props for her husband who's been incredible of taking care of her.


This is the nature of ME/CFS (caused by Covid or otherwise), it does vary somewhat over time although the course is not always to improvement or around the same level but sometimes to death. She received some form of experimental treatments in order to gain the prior recovery which was at least a stellate ganglion block, she has not mentioned what else she may have received.

Hopefully she maintains a higher baseline from here on out and the production of these videos doesn't produce further Post Exertional Mailise that could worsen her condition.


>"Otherwise"

Would could this possibly be referring to?


Many different viral infections and other immune pressures can kick off ME/CFS. We don't yet know what otherwise actually means really, Epstein Bar Virus and Influenza but there is likely many others and only 70% of patients with the condition say it was initiated with an infection. Its a question well worth good research, there just isn't much in the way of funding for ME/CFS.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), unknown genetic conditions or other unknown stressors.

Man... I came here hoping to read she was fine now. Had no idea things got worse again :( I hope things get better for her.

At the moment, she appears to be progressing up. The user you are replying to was talking about a past up-swing followed by a down-swing. Hopefully there isn't a down-swing to follow this current up-swing.

Aww, I was excited to see her name pop up again, thought maybe she had recovered.

tl;dr: I you scp -r to your homedir, expect scp to copy not just files and directories but their permissions as well (which I think isn't all that surprising).

It's not supposed to do that unless it's newly creating the destination, or you supplied the -p flag to preserve permissions... that's what the entire issue is about; it's a bug that was fixed in 10.3.

I wouldn't even expect it on newly created stuff without the -p flag. Normal cp doesn't do it.

Samsung isn't exactly a Western manufacturer either though.

> > Won't this get flagged by anti-virus scanners as suspicious?

I don't think the anti-virus scanners consider Zig important enough, or even know about. They will not be the ones experiencing problems. Having executables quarantined and similar problems will fall on Zig developers and users of their software. That seems like a major drawback for using Zig.


Yup. This sentiment expresses quite clearly how Zig has no significant understanding or interest in being a language used for widely distributed applications, like video games.

There's no way I can ship a binary that flags the scanners. This wouldn't be the first language I've avoided because it has this unfortunate behaviour.

And expecting virus scanner developers to relax their rules for Zig is a bit arrogant. Some virus scanners started flagging software built with Nim simply because Nim became popular with virus authors as a means to thwart scanners!


Yeah, I had this problem when shipping go binaries on Windows. Antivirus vendors really do not care that your program regularly shows up as a false positive due to their crappy heuristics, even if you have millions of users.


It's a common enough issue with go that they wrote a faq on it too: https://go.dev/doc/faq#virus


Have you tried code-signing with an EV certificate? If so, did it help? Asking for a friend.


Statistically notable improvement, but it didn't help a whole lot.


I always upload a copy to https://www.virustotal.com to help combat the false positives.

It was really bad a couple years ago because anything wrapped in Inno Setup kept being flagged. Now maybe one or two flag vendors do; Bkav Pro and CrowdStrike Falcon are the dominate culprits always.


Uploading to virustotal doesn't really do anything to combat false positives AFAICT. It only lets you test against many AV vendors at once.


>> Unfortunately, yes. We consider this a problem for the anti-virus scanners to solve.

In reality it will be a problem for the developers to solve, and the solution will be to use a different language lol


Antivirus is going to flag you no matter what if you're not a big-name developer with an expensive certificate. Even a "hello world" GUI program done with MSVC and Win32 gets called the Wacatac Trojan without one. We shouldn't let their incompetence dictate how our software works.


You are correct in that the deflected airflow exerts an upward force on the wing (or at least a force with an upward component; there's also a backward component (called induced drag if my memory serves me well)).

The way the airflow exerts that force is through pressure differentials: air under the wing having higher pressure than the air above it.

Momentum change can describe physical interactions, and it's often easier to calculate things that way, but actual physical forces still exist, and can also be used to describe the same physical interactions.


Momentum change is literally the same thing as a force. That makes what you said nonsensical. The first thing physics students are taught is that F=ma, which is F=dp/dt.


According to the video the much larger weight is the main or even only cause of takeoff exerting more load on the runway than landings.


> One bad election, everyone knows it was influenced by Russia, no big deal. They know a sane person will be elected in a few years.

That's what we thought the first time. And it did happen, a sane person did get elected a few years later, but then another few years later Trump got elected again. And it's pretty clear that he and his crew are rapidly turning the USA into a fascist authoritarian hellhole, and they show all signs of not being willing to step back from power. It's a real tragedy both for USA's own people, especially the ones that Trump doesn't like, but also for people in other countries.

That has real consequences. Here is, with thanks to user malauxyeux for neatly summarizing, a case that should anyone start thinking real hard of the consequences of using American services:

Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the International Criminal Court, discusses in an interview with Le Monde the consequences of US sanctions imposed on him and eight other judges and prosecutors at the court. The sanctions were introduced after the court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The concrete consequences of the sanctions extend far beyond a travel ban to the US. "The sanctions affect all aspects of my daily life. They prohibit all US individuals or legal entities, all persons or companies, including their foreign subsidiaries, from providing me with services", Guillou explains.

All his accounts with US companies such as Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal, and others have been closed. "For example, I booked a hotel in France through Expedia, and a few hours later, the company sent an email canceling the reservation citing the sanctions. In practice, you can no longer shop online because you don't know if the packaging your product comes in is American. Being under sanctions is like being sent back to the 1990s", he says.

"Overnight, you find yourself without a bank card, and these companies have an almost complete monopoly, at least in Europe. US companies are actively involved in intimidating sanctioned individuals – in this case, the judges and prosecutors who administer justice in contemporary armed conflicts", he notes.

He emphasizes that sanctions can last for more than a decade or even longer.

I've been looking at mail providers too, and it's starting to look there are no real alternatives. Not just in Europe, but worldwide. I've been a happy user of Fastmail for quite some time now, and it's sad the the current geopolitical situation pressures me into migrating away.

The alternative that's looking best to me so far is Kolab Now. I don't see a lot of user reviews of it on Reddit though, or anywhere else, so it seems to not be very popular at first sight. That's perhaps not a good sign.

In any case I'm planning on trying it out for a while, with a domain I don't use it all that often, before deciding to migrate to it.


Doesn’t seem to support on-the-fly aliases for sending, requiring instead to set it up in advance. I use a custom mail per website/contact workflow, and with FM any reply uses whatever alias I used to receive the mail, with the option to change it to whatever I want without extra steps.


I distinctly remember my dad too choosing for the TI-99/4A over the competition because of the 16-bit CPU. Little did he, let alone the little boy that I was at the time, know of the limitations of its weird design.


A[n] sizes are useful when enlarging or shrinking documents. Enlarge or shrink by muliples of sqrt(2) and there's always a fitting paper size available. Or you can put two A5s together on an A4, or two A4s on an A3.
