For me I could still smell strong laundry detergent very faintly. But the sense of smell appeared to be completely gone as if my olfactory nerve had been snipped.

Wow, thank you for sharing. I assume you're thankfully fine now? Can I ask how long it took, how bad things got, etc.?

I had COVID-19 and lost almost all smell senses (no symptoms of a stuffy nose or mucus). I could still taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami. But I could not tell you where those tastes came from. It was difficult to cook in that time, and food was very bland and meaningless. Lasted for about a week.

I could smell laundry detergent very faintly so I know I had not completely lost the sense. I also felt a pain in the back of my nose/top of head as if I had water go up it, so I assume something was irritating that part of my nose. A dry cough has started to take place only after the fever stopped and I noticed my breathing is a bit harder than before the virus took over.

I had the virus. This happened to me. The loss of smell and taste is as if someone completely cut off that function from your body. No stuffy nose during the illness, pre, during or post. It started coming back after about a week.

Same. I noticed some words use the letter "g" in place of "h" like in the word "another" -> "drugy" -> in Czech "druhý", otherwise it is very similar to Czech.

My understanding is that the OS is a few gigs in size and uses a lot of memory, and neves compiles to about 20 megabytes while still being resilient and easy to update.

Actually, a compiled Linux kernel is on the order of ~5 MB. A minimal root filesystem adds another ~50 MB to that. It starts to get bloated once you add kernel modules, drivers, etc.

That's 5MB compressed and also doesn't account for the fact that you'd also need an actual userspace of some description.

I think you're mixing up the way businesses run and how society should run. Two different things.

Once you have some cryptocurrency in your wallet, you don't go to the exchanges to do transactions. All transactions on the blockchain are done in a decentralised way without a 3rd party.

Yeah dude, wtf, 5000 users and you think you can get away for free?

OK, but if Slack has a user limit there's no reason it should be secret.

I'd guess it's not so much "a secret" rather than a natural limitation or just a "put a big number there that should be enough for everybody" (until it isn't)

Maybe it isn't intentionally a secret, but it should be documented. If you take the time to code a hard user limit (with its own API exception code, etc), you can take the time to mention it in the docs.

At least intuitively one doesn't think it would cost half a million dollars for a year.
