I want to know how well supported each language is. Rate support as Alpha, Beta, Full so I can decide if I want to use your app.

As a reference, $245,573 in 1995 is like $495,962 in 2023.

All the public libraries I've been to in the US use a decimal classification system that I assume is Dewey Decimal. For example, programming books are under 005.* AUTHORLASTNAME.

If you own a Mac, https://github.com/glyph/Pomodouroboros/ shows the timer on your whole screen and runs it all the time.

I floss first, rinse, then brush. No more food bits left after I spit out the extra foam.

Exercise helps because it completes the stress cycle[1]. When burnt out it can be hard to find time, so try one of these and see if they help:

* High intensity intervals. Do 2 minutes of light intensity cardio as warm up. Then alternate 20 seconds at top effort with 10 seconds of rest. 10 cycles of this will only take you 5 minutes. You should be out of breath by the end. * Faster version of yoga woodchopper pose[2]. Stand with feet apart and knees slightly bent. Clasp hands and raise above head. Bend knees and bring your hands down while you exhale with a loud "Ha!" Do it slow a few times for warm up, then do it fast and imagine your hands crushing a stressor at the bottom. Yell if it won't disturb the neighbors. * Tense your whole body for 20 seconds, then slowly exhale and release the tension. While tensing, imagine either beating up or successfully running away from something that is stressing you out.

Radiopaper is both empowering and requiring every user to be a content moderator. Let's say Alice and Bob sign up and start holding interesting conversations. Then Nasty McNasterson starts sending hate mail and death wishes to Alice and Bob. Alice and Bob can stop Nasty's messages from showing publicly, but first they have to see the never-ending stream of abuse. What can they do to stop this? Can they block Nasty from sending them messages? If enough people block Nasty, can Nasty be kicked off the platform? On the other hand, if Nasty and an army of sock puppets (or a brigade of chat buddies) block Alice and Bob, will they get kicked off instead?

I think Sean McClure's advice only applies when you have so much of one resource that you can afford to be inefficient when trading it for another.

If you have so little cash you have to choose between paying the water bill or the gas bill because you can't afford both, spending time to optimize your cash is a matter of survival. Poor people are also criticized if they don't penny pinch.

College students are often cash-poor but time-rich, so it makes sense they would pinch their pennies and consume time to preserve the scarce resource of cash.

Tech professionals are often time-poor but cash-rich, so it makes sense to pinch their minutes and spend cash to preserve the scarce resource of time.

And for the many in poverty who are both cash-poor and time-poor, time is usually the more flexible resource and so they pinch pennies.

Warning signs about the trustworthiness of this site's reporting:

- Top banner says "News that impacts your health that other sites may censor!" -- a common claim of pseudoscience / conspiracy theory sites - The bottom banners are anti-vaccine FUD, like a preposterous claim that "all vaccines cause harm" - The "Peace with God" site link in the top banner leads to a site with COVID and modern-medicine-is-Satanic conspiracy theories - When they attribute claims to specific people, they either link to Wikipedia pages of the people (proving the person exists, but not proving they said what the article claims), or to other conspiracy sites or videos.

It's an interesting read of someone struggling with a hard idea. Im glad he started to think about the context, and why it's different for him to write about a Belgian nun than if he wrote a book with a black or trans main character. But he missed the idea that if he does want to write a book where the context is tricky, he should ask for help from people who know more about the context, who might help him realize whether or not the book is "misbegotten" and if he is "not up to this particular task." Writers look up lots of weird things for their books. They can look up a person who knows more about it and pay them for their help. That person might even give them ideas that they would never have thought of! The writer can also ask more questions to find out if what they want to write has tricky context: between the writer and the subject, who has the power? Who might be harmed? Does this fit bad patterns? What is the context? []

Now there are devices for clinical at-home sleep monitoring, say for screening for apnea. Still uncomfortable but at least you are at home.

The daily limit on adventures is an example of trade-off #2. Their implementation is generous (40 adventures per day to a max of 200 means you need to check in every 5 days) but it still means that you can't take a full week off the game without losing adventures. The more +Adventure stuff you have, the sooner you hit that max.

Having a daily limit means that play sessions are artificially shortened, which prevents playing until satisfied. It encourages players to spend the time until next refresh planning how to use their adventures effectively.

Science for the People does in-depth interviews about science and technology, including history and impact. One topic per podcast, and they stay on topic without unrelated asides.

Re #2, keys, scales, and chords are fundamental units of Western music. You could compare them to words, which are joined into sentences. Chord progressions are sequences of chords, which only make sense in the context of the current key and scale.

Learning about keys, scales, and chords will help you understand music but not necessarily force you into predetermined patterns. Learning chord progressions will help you hear patterns in music, which may reduce your enjoyment of pop music since a handful of progressions are used almost everywhere. On the other hand, if you enjoy trope-spotting, it may increase your enjoyment.

BMI uses height and weight to estimate body fat % because those were the easiest statistics Quetelet had access to. There's speculation that BMI is effectively a proxy for waist size, given assumptions about body shape (how high the person's waist is) and density (fat to muscle and bone ratio).

Waist-circumference-to-height ratio is a proven predictor of cardio health, and is only slightly harder to measure than BMI. Waist-to-hip-ratio is another strong predictor for health outcomes, and can flag people with a normal BMI that have an elevated mortality risk.

Genevieve Cogman's Invisible Library series features a library that connects to multiple parallel worlds, with the portals anchored by books in its collection that are variants unique to that world. e.g. an original edition of Grimm's fairy tiles with extra stories. The library is big enough to have an internal transportation network.

Online courses that aren't MOOCs either:

1. Allow a limited number of students to sign up for a run of the class, which is on a specific schedule, and there's high interaction with and feedback from other students and the instructor. 2. Allow unlimited students to sign up, often at any time, but at most there's a forum or mailing list for participants to interact with each other. Many are just a series of videos or articles, maybe with some assignments, but there's no pressure to complete them.

MOOCs try to combine those. Unlimited students can sign up for scheduled classes. While the class is in session, students are assigned to grade each other's homework, so there's both pressure and interaction.

Most MOOC providers let you "audit" a class for free, which is basically a type 2 online course.

UnityScript is closer to ActionScript or Javascript-flavored C# than it is to Javascript. It uses class-based instead of prototypical inheritance and generally uses the conventions and concepts of OOP instead of functional programming.

Shannon Appelcline has a great overview of rating, ranking, and other systems in the article series "Collective Choice": http://www.skotos.net/articles/TTnT_/TTnT_178.phtml . The key points are that most people want to be nice so you'll have far more activity in the top half of the ratings (3-5 for 5 stars, 6-10 for 10 stars); explicitly describing what each level means makes people more accurate; and instead of using a simple average you should weight it towards the site average to prevent items with few ratings from being misrepresented (e.g. an item with one 5-star rating is not the best ever).

Women get a whole other dimension of online harrasment that men don't.
