The API [1] is an interesting read, as well as this thread from two years ago [2].

I have used Spectacle [3] for years and recently switched to Rectangle [4].

These two are quite simple in comparison but I barely use all their features.

I have seen people using HammerSpoon [5] as well for these type of things.

Out of curiosity, what kind of things do people script in a window manager?

What's the likelihood that both MBS and AMI were doing this independently?

It's plausible that one (or none) of the reports is wrong, but which is more likely?

Calva definitely does show the results of evaluating a form inline.
It doesn't seem like they've made much progress since this snopes article came out in 2017[0]. I'm also skeptical that they could use these batteries to practically power a cellphone. So a cellphone requires about an average power of about 200 mw assuming we deplete the battery once every 24 hours. 1 gram of Carbon-14 experiences about 156*10^9 decays per second, which release at most 156 KeV in the form of beta particles, so carbon 14 has a power density of about 4 mW/g. By itself this is decent, but conversion of these high energy electrons to electricity won't be very efficient. 9.8% efficiency has been attained for diamond films under electron irradiation[1], although because the beta particles emitted have a much larger energy than the bandgap of all the semiconductors we know, the efficiency is likely to be less. So assuming 10% conversion efficiency, we need 500 grams of just C-14. This about twice the mass of the iphone 11 pro max. It is probably not very practical to haul a large brick of radioisotopes around to power a phone.

However, in theory it is possible to make a nuclear battery capable of providing this amount of power taking up only a fraction a phone's mass. [3] shows that it is theoretically possible to make nuclear batteries with power densities of 1-50 mW/g. The way they propose to accomplish this is to use the alpha particle emissions from americium to generate power. Alpha particles have on the order of MeV of energy rather than KeV beta particles typically have. Even if the conversion efficiency is low, because there's so much energy available we still attain high power densities. The issue is that because alpha particles have so much energy and are massive they do quite a bit of damage to semiconductors. This means that alphavoltaic batteries do not last very long before they degrade, and it is not expected that alphavoltaic devices can made with current semiconductors that last much longer than month. I've also heard that some alphavoltaic devices have not lasted much longer than an hour. Although, self healing liquid semiconductors appear to be a promising option with one test demonstrating minimal degradation over a 57 day period.

Well, the free advice and the rationale behind it has been given. Now you can do what you want with it. They're your teeth, after all.
Sentinels are the 'shadow' nodes which protect the in-cycle verifiers. They can produce blocks when the main verifier is inactive.
waterpik should do the job of flossing already, you can probably skip step 1, at least according to this study:

Alex Jones didn't just say there are chemicals in the water turning the frogs gay. Alex Jones said the government was deliberately putting chemicals into the water as part of a chemical warfare operation to increase the homosexual population and reduce birthrates, and that the frogs turning gay was the proof.

It doesn't matter that he was a little bit wrong about the actual effect of the chemicals on amphibian sexuality, he was very wrong about his actual claim, that being that gay people are bioweapons in a secret program of mass human genocide.

It is a small amount. It helps, but is not enough to completely prevent cavities. You still need to brush your teeth like normal.
If you are flying solo, then sure, I can see the appeal, but for most(?) of us, that hand-tailored language needs to be learned by everyone you work with, and anyone who might need to work on your codebase in the future. And it’s unlikely that those future coders will feel the same about your hand-tailored language as you do.

Quora is a site that is somehow successful despite its product development decisions. They seem to constantly make the site and community worse with every update.

There's still a decent amount of amazing valuable answers from real verified experts but the experience of using it is horrendous and I've completely stopped trying to write anything anymore.
From "Potential fluoride toxicity from oral medicaments" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5651468/):

"The beneficial role of fluoride for the maintenance of good oral health has been known for many decades and strongly evidenced by scientific research. However, it must be emphasized that tooth decay (dental caries) is not caused by fluoride deficiency and fluoride supplementation will never reverse the active or gross carious lesions. Since the level of safety of fluoride is low, products that contain a high level of fluoride should be stored and used according to the recommendation and should be monitored by a qualified dental professional especially in children and pregnant women. In children, the swallowing reflex is not very well developed and the fluoride containing dental products are flavored hence increasing the possibility of a child to consume an excessive dose of fluoride."

Maybe swallowing fluoride is not such a good idea?f

(Also, can someone compare toxicity levels of lead versus fluoride?)
It's significant enough to prevent some tooth decay, but insignificant when it comes to toxicity.
The idea is that stuff dislodged by the flossing gets brushed away and spit out when you brush. If you floss after brushing, it is more likely the floss debris will remain on your teeth. You’ve just moved it from between to a side.

That was the argument I found when I recently looked into this. It makes sense if all you’re doing is brushing and flossing. If there are further steps in your routine that would take care of the flossing leftovers, I expect the order does not matter.
Afaik the iron age depended on charcoal, not on fossil fuels. Europe has seen a wide deforestation due to it. Industrialization might depend on fossil fuels but not an iron age per se.

Despite all our AI advances recently, with AlphaGo and AlphaStar, nobody has yet created an AI that can defeat the best humans in 4X games without cheating, right?

One game I respect is AI War, which fully embraced that AI must cheat and didn't even pretend that the AI played by the same rules. Instead, they gave insight into the rules the AI did play by, and made manipulation of the AI's constraints part of the game.
Unfortunately, documentation [1] is still kind of lacking. Like Rust (and arguably modern C++ conventions?), the safe subset doesn't support pointer arithmetic directly. You would have to convert the pointer to an iterator (and its target to an appropriate container).

Auto-conversion of code that uses pointer arithmetic is challenging, but has been demonstrated to be solvable in the general case [2].

The main point, about not washing, isn't standard dental advice and widely known, unless I'm mistaken. Personally, toothpaste tastes so bad I find it hard not to rinse without gagging.

Otherwise, the advice is direct and the writing style is of interest in itself. So many websites that provide health advice are condescending. This one is at least instead straightforward. For example, the points about fluoride concentration are not obvious and deserve a hearing. I say at least, because they should have references and make it transparent how these conclusions were arrived at.
British people have healthier teeth than Americans, you’re mistaking the results of invasive and often damaging cosmetic dental procedures with the actual function and health of the teeth.
I'm sceptical of this source. The post claims fluoride in toothpaste (which isn't even ingested!) is a neurotoxin and refers to a review which I cannot find (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=lanc... doesn't come up with much, closest I got were https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4... and follow-up https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4..., neither of which discuss fluoride toxicity in toothpaste). I think we should take this author's claims with a generous helping of salt.

With that said, I wouldn't eat the stuff, but this post goes a lot further than that.

The team at Quora is really strong. Many ex-Quorans have gone on to start their own really successful companies.

If you or someone you know is affected, feel free to use this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hk4REpHkCCTS74MGGRNR...
In the United States, recommended fluoride levels in drinking water are 0.7ppm, whereas toothpaste is 1000ppm - 1500ppm.

So even with fluoridated water you want to avoid rinsing.

British people actually have quite healthy teeth.

For some people, it's the other way around. Emacs makes it simple to automate things. And there's no such thing as "excessive automation." Proprietary IDEs are like Steve Yegge once said: "are cookie-cutter solutions." To me, it's not even about productivity; it's about minimizing frustration. Repetitive and mundane tasks (no matter how small they seem to be) can and should be automated.

Practical examples of how using Emacs makes my life easier:

- I conduct Web searches right from my IDE. I can search on Wikipedia, Google, Github, YouTube, WolframAlpha, etc. I can select any piece of text/code and perform a search. One day I even realized that I could also enforce the programming language on Github. It took me about ten minutes to extend the existing functionality of the Emacs package called `engine,` now whenever I'm writing, for example, Clojure code, and I need to search for a selected piece of code on Github it automatically appends `Language=Clojure` to the search parameters.

- We have a convention to have suffixes in our git branches that denote the ticket number associated. So I used to go to Jira, find my ticket, then think about the branch name, then type it, sometimes I would mistype the ticket number. One day I sat down, spend about twenty minutes, wrote a little piece of emacs-lisp. For a given Jira ticket number, it fetches its summary and then, based on that summary, generates a "git-friendly" branch name. It's not like it would take me too long doing it the old way. But now it literally takes less than a second, and it is way less frustrating.

- I use Org-mode, which by itself is a hands-down the best todo-list/organizer/note-taking/journaling app. We also use Slack at work. Very often, I would copy Slack conversation and paste it to my main org-mode file, so the relevant information (associated with a unit of work) is close-by. I used to do it manually. The other day I sat down and wrote a script that retrieves that info from Slack by using its API and automatically generates an Org-mode heading.

I can provide countless examples of seemingly small things like that, but those who are now settled with using their favorite IDE probably won't be impressed or moved.

Don't get me wrong - IntelliJ is a superb product. I myself used WebStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, and Ultimate for a number of years. About seven years to be more precise. I learned their IDE to the pieces. I have discovered undocumented/poorly documented features. I used to hang big print-out posters with the major keybindings on my walls. I participated in developing plugins. But still moved to Emacs, because there is simply no software product in existence with the extensibility capabilities that can match.

Please, don't underestimate the ingenuity of tinkerers. Best artists, watch-makers, and carpenters are known to create their own tools or pick up designs of someone else's and improve upon them. In their hands, the instrument that they have might be a thousand times more powerful and capable, compared to one that was created by an army of specialists.
Sounds like "this" are two separate things.

One is malware, the other an abuse of trust (but not a software error).

So yes I'd say it is plausible the two independently occurred.
I always thought that flossing mostly moves the dirt from between your tooth to another side. So I always brush after flossing.

(I also never thought about fluoride so of course I rinse after brushing and I will continue to do so because otherwise it would be very uncomfortable)
Major news sources reported on the Bush Administration's claims that Iraq had WMD, which is what they should have done, and which is much different than the implication in your statement, that the source of those claims was the media itself.
Oh goodness :) OP has conceded the point, but you're still down to argue on the basis of what a person may or may not believe is the main strategy to handle serialization. I give up. You win, I guess.

Regards your other question(s), I will just add that I answered many similar questions for myself (as well as disabusing myself of a lot of misconceptions) by undertaking to get a basic understanding of Haskell.
It brings a completely different way of using the transport, in fact.

When the period between 2 trains/buses/whatever is below 5 minutes, you don't check the timetables, you don't plan anything, you don't calculate anything, you just walk to the stop without thinking.

When the period is 10 minutes or more, you handle it more like an intercity train, you check, you plan, you calculate. Or you don't and you wait, and wait, and wait.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it, but it is a bit of an obsession of mine to plan and calculate everything... also I've lived most of my life in places where you'd be happy with a train, or a bus, every 2 hours (supposing there was a line). For people who have been accustomed to the comfort of mind of the first option, it is felt harder to switch to the second option.

-------

But then there is the problem of transfers. There, low frequency strikes badly and there is nothing you can do about it, contrary to the first wait at the first stop. Personally, I had no problem with 15 minutes period buses, but the transfers were killing me, and it was getting much worse during low-activity times. Just a small-looking increase in the period has exponentially bad consequences.

Less terrible, there is also the case when you have to arrive at a fixed time. Unless the arrival time matches, a low frequency forces you to start earlier. So, the time is wasted even if you calculated your first wait.
This is dangerous advice. Fluoridated toothpaste is incredibly important for the health of your mouth. The source you've provided is highly suspect, and the claims contradict mountains of evidence of fluoride's safety.
Oh, that explains why they seemingly have a real version out there. I've been suspicious to try it, but if they are separate it might be worth a try.
Companies like Quora should provide at least three or six months of severance in cases of layoffs. There's no reason they can't. They surely knew three or six months in advance that they would likely be making this move.

As startup workers, we should shame loudly and publicly companies that don't provide sufficient severance packages. It's the difference between causing a slight disturbance in worker's lives and potentially huge financial hardship.

(Of course all employees should have a financial reserve. The fact is many people don't though. And even if they do, it hurts a lot to make them burn it down.)

Someone should make a blacklist of startups that did layoffs without sufficient severance. Maybe I'll get around to it.

No fluff! In 2 sec I knew what it was intended to do. I was ready to go in 6 sec. Excellent work.
Enough flouride to cause long-term health issues takes at least 2 mg/liter of water (probably more) over a long period of time, while artificially fluoridated water standards are 0.7 mg/liter. Even many rivers and lakes have a natural fluoride content of 0.3 mg/liter.

While there is risk from fluoridated water in some places, generally this is from unusally high natural fluoridation, from minerals leached from rock exposed by volcanic shifts or badly-regulated mining.
Seriously. Typically 60-80k people die of the flu every year in the U.S. alone. 40 deaths in the largest country by population in the world is noise.
I looked into one of the references...they put 120mg/L in mice and found it to be bad. Drinking water has about 0.7 mg/L. This is a factor of nearly 200x on concentration and another lot on body mass. Shoot, if I drink 200x more water that will cause problems too!

Concentrations matter.

Hi Chandi,

The design is slick, I like it. I run https://notyce.me which I believe might complement your app or vice-versa. If you feel the collaboration can make things better, can you drop me an email mentioned on my profile. Thanks
Yeah, the zerglings were a problem. However (hopefully I'm getting it right, it's been a long time), at max tech with the psilons: Stellar converter x8. Top computer (you need initiative), the tech to increase damage once you burned through their shields, increased hull space, the double shot tech. Note that to fit all this in you have to weaken the defenses, but it doesn't matter. This ship gets 16 shots that hit with full power all the way across the battle map--the zerglings almost never can do meaningful damage from their starting position. If they don't have Antares tech dreadnaughts die with two shots, anything else dies with one. A full Antares-tech design can take 5 hits before dying--but note that you have 16.

In practice a fleet of 8 of these can take on anything the AI will ever field, losses will be extremely rare. Be careful with planets if you want to capture them, it's very easy to kill them by accident.

Once I can build those I didn't even worry about the council.
Quora and Tripadvisor are totally different.

Tripadvisor has a great mobile app, and actually a mobile app makes sense, as I want to browse local results, filter and compare restaurants and activities easily.

As for quora, it's more like entertainment where I just want it to be part of my internet browsing experience, just like Reddit, where I don't want to load a mobile app just so see a result.
I worked with Pandas and numpy for different projects, and I really like the low level component way how numpy works. In most cases where I used Pandas I regretted it at some point. OOP and numpy in the first place would’ve been a better solution, especially because of the ease of Numba integration.

As far as I know a function of flossing is to disrupt bacteria in places that your brush can't reach.

Presumably another is to dislodge food stuck there.

I can imagine that floss + rinse would accomplish both well enough, especially if it's twice a day (but surely most people brush one a day)
But not really. That’s like saying a carrot can peg men.
Pandas' type conversions irk me. I get why columns with NaN convert to float from integer but very rarely do I have data that is complete for every column and converting columns that were intentionally integer has caused headaches when that data then goes to other systems such as a sql db.

It is currently sitting at the center of an ETL system at my work (not my decision) and causes headaches.
The window api makes me think one could pretty easily create an i3 like window manager. But my past experience with OSX window managers like amethyst has been subpar. Often the sizing/positioning is taken more as a “suggestion” by the window than a command. I also found eventually windows would get into a bad state. Has window management on OSX improved in the past couple years? On Linux with X11, window managers truly have control and thus provide a more reliable experience.

Water fluoridation rates are well under dangerous levels - about 0.7 mg/L for artificially fluoridated water, vs 2+ mg/L long-term to actually cause any problems. Even that small amount helps with reducing tooth decay, as was shown in the US in studies starting in the 50s comparing areas with naturally fluoridated water with areas without it.
