From another study done in Canada:

> In this study, maternal exposure to higher levels of fluoride during pregnancy was associated with lower IQ scores in children aged 3 to 4 years. These findings indicate the possible need to reduce fluoride intake during pregnancy.

It's kind of cultural in my own experience.

I'm very careful to be constructive and refrain from being offensive in my tone during code reviews. I do this to my coworkers, and some of reflect this back at me, which means that it is possible but not everyone does it.

I was a longtime Coda user in the late 00's early 10's. Moved away to IntelliJ for several years. Recently rediscovered Nova after IntelliJ introduced some memory leak that makes system performance unbearable.

Nova is using, btw, 1/4 the RAM that IntelliJ was using. In addition to looking pretty. And feeling responsive. And not crashing my Zoom calls.

This poster is in Europe - like most of the rest of the world, they don't have to worry about fluoride removal from water because it's not there in the first place.

Most toothpastes make my teeth sensitive. Interestingly, one of the few that doesn't is fluoride-free. There's been no negative difference in the health of my teeth over the last several years of using that. My experience - fluoride overhyped, especially if you have an electric toothbrush.

Packard bell comment made me laugh :)

Applies to much more MS products than just Office these days. I personally stopped being able to justify Office when they moved to subscription and iWork moved to bundled and already installed.

I still have Office on my work Mac and boy is it laggy typing as it analyzes the words and sends them to who knows where.

BitWarden was never the Mac-first native app that 1P was. I personally pay for BitWarden and never used 1P. Now I'm slowly migrating back to iCloud Keychain because I feel like I can't trust any of these 3rd party pw managers to not eventually throw us to the hedge funds.

Geese. I occasionally get the sleep paralysis and I hate it. It makes me feel like I'm being pinned down to my bed. Never tried any psychedelics though, and sometimes I think I should stop being so stiff when it's around/available. Reading this is helpful and I genuinely appreciate the warning.

I guess everyone has insane compulsion to air any and all business out online these days

This should have always had been implemented by the user agent, not by web authors.

Lion was a little sluggish and buggy at the start, but it proved itself to be a fine transitional release, and I agree about those feature additions - loved them!

Personal favorite release was 10.9/Mavericks.

I really liked the pre-Unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

I have both in my collection. Including one tattered 2006 first-gen Intel MBP that I picked up from a trash heap and restored.

Every time I open that MBP up, the design makes me feel like a high-roller Hollywood producer. I was just thinking the other day that I wish I could have that machine with M1/M2 guts inside of it.

Those plastic MacBooks are also a joy to sit in front of.

And though I thought the unibody MacBooks/Pros looked spaced aged at the time, they kind of look unsightly today. Those black bezels are huge and obnoxious, and give the laptop a raccoon look.

> It's like you don't believe it's possible with the countless man centuries of resources these companies have to have software both interoperate and degrade gracefully when one client doesn't support all protocol features. I don't buy it; I believe we can.

Did you ever look into what happened with XMPP extensions?

Well you didn’t just out and expect the US gov officials to say “lol yeah it was us, we were messing around with stuff we shouldn’t have been and is actively outlawed in US territories”, did you?

The connections to eco health alliance were all laid out a long time ago

An iPhone 14 (with SOS Sat Comm) would have been much cheaper

I don't know.

Yes the restrictions on being able to install your own apps on your own devices suck.

On the other hand, the headline is over dramatic. Apple was including Xcode with their OSes without additional cost when MSDN was charging several k/year for the same.

I guess I'm glad I still have my static blog website (that I also use as a microblog if the occasion fits)

I definitely get email reminders about subscription renewals. I can’t remember precisely if that differs for trials, but I imagine it’s just a decision by UX people, not some nefarious entity inside of Apple out to get people.

Darn. I used to do smile and have the donations sent to haiku.

I have been saying this for years. I have a HUGE amount of CDs that I have gotten at bargain prices from thrift stores over the years (it’s been an interesting curation method), and I keep them all organized on a plex server. It’s as close to best of both worlds as you can get today imo.

Ridiculous (that eff link).

I already switched back to Safari, which is an odd choice for a dev. Firefox seems to be in a malaise and is getting clunky. I simply do not like Chrome. And then there's Safari, okay-ish, but with growing/good integrations (passkey, private relay), and bookmarks synced with phone, and it's backed up by a super-profitable smartphone platform. Done.

They were still using the native ui frameworks back then. Look at the widgets (buttons, etc)

Well I supposed authn landing in Safari this fall is good timing (for us) as a backup option
