Def'ly a great relief for my eye strain - using it during the day too and keeping on by default.
One annoyance is that Chrome needs to let the address bar be darkened as well as it stands out like a neon tube when Dark Reader is on.

Wunderlist definitely looks cool and impressive with apps for all platforms - looks like a cure for Notes taking on Mac + Android users.

Funny enough, I was actually searching for a ToDo app 'that-does all' one more time after fixing on one three months ago. The issue I generally see with Todo lists are that they are one part of a very nuanced workflow. For eg. I often get worked up choose between a ToDo app or a Note app when I still working on the details. Currently settled on Trello for a multi-modal workflow of saving links, notes, keeping lists of tasks classified by stages is feeling good. But I miss a good mobile app, markdown support and easy creation and maintenance. Any suggestions?!

It sure is an interesting time for melding computational advancements with medical use cases. The reason that the cost decay can promulgate the previously missing disruption seems to be missing the bigger question of regulation in these fields.

One important feature:
Closure of public places
Minister of the Interior or the prefects may
"order the temporary closure of theaters, pubs and meeting places" and
"meetings of nature to cause or maintain disorder"

Three Emergency protocols activated tonight to deal with the situation:
Plan multi attentats: Sudden surge of multiple situations
Plan blanc (in Île de France): surge of unpredictable activity of a hospital
Plan rouge: when there are significant casualties in a small area
