It's quite simple really, not all children are the same.

I would be the first to agree that investing the time and having a good attitude would probably be quite enough for many families. But I feel that it would be quite unfair to many families to suggest that it always works, because it doesn't.

Why it doesn't always work like this might be easiest shown by considering cases of rather minor cognitive disabilities, some of which can still make doing chores a lifelong struggle.

In this context it's clear to a anyone having relevant experience with such a disability - even disabilities at subclinical levels - that any blanket statement about what works is always false. The variety is simply too great.

Extrapolating from that we can conclude that: As there are few, or no, binary parameters when it comes to humans, the above example is enough to show that the reason why not all parents get their children to do chores is that we are currently bounded at the top - at least - by our lack of understanding of the immense cognitive variation in humans, and our ability for effective interventions.

The story is more complex than that, and it is likely much could be done to improve outcomes for both parents and children.

You can live anywhere in the world. We have people from Australia to California on the team.
Any largish city will have 1000's (or at least 100's) of companies wanting to hire software developers. Unless you're actively looking you'll probably go your whole life without hearing about 99.99% of them.

There might not be as many as the Bay area, but there is more than enough to keep your employment stable until retirement. As a bonus, much fewer of them will be unstable startups.
We've been displaying Amazon CPM display ads on a site for over 2 years now. This is an ad network for affiliates, but paid by CPM. It's mostly a mix of large brand adverts and Amazon remarketing ads (normally for products you've looked at).

The service is about to be shutdown though at the end of this month, and their suggestion is that we apply to their larger header bidding network (Unified Ad Marketplace), but not sure we'll qualify for that.

As a teen, I was introduced to C++ by a friend (who was trying to get me to stop programming in BASIC). We had a serious bit of confusion for a moment when I couldn't understand where he was watching/attending/accessing these "classes".

Imagine how much more fun we could have had if they had "concepts" in the language back then!

Coming from Prolog I'm loving Haskell, but I'm seeing a special kind of "worse is better" at work here: that projects using innovative and sophisticated languages have a high risk of running into obsessive "getting it right" and "holier than you" mentality resulting into them often getting never finished, and even if finished, having a high barrier of attracting contributors. It's unfair and embarassing, but shitty languages like JavaScript and PHP often allow you to be more utilitarian and churn out good enough code because you're not emotionally attached to them, and aren't under peer group pressure to express eg. algebraic properties in their purest form or some such.

Neuralink: How the Human Brain Will Download Directly from a Computer
I came here to write exactly this. Berlin is #1 tech scene in the world not in terms of the quality of startups, but in terms of the quality of life[1]. You won't make much money here, and you won't need to. In Berlin, a person making 60k has a better quality of life than a person making 200k in Silicon Valley[2]. And it's not only about the prices. You don't need a car in Berlin, at all. Because the entire 3.5 mln city is walkable and cyclable day and night, and a world-class public transportation system can get you and your family anywhere in under 30 minutes, even with your bikes. You also don't need to buy any real-estate, because 85% of the city is renting, and the rental agreements are protected by state from huge price increases. But most importantly, the nature is built into the city itself, so you never feel like you have to leave it[3][4].

Building a site for Google Chrome is like building for IE ActiveX back in the day. I'm surprised this isn't the main topic discussed here.If it doesn't work in Firefox, it isn't worth supporting. We need an open web.
Yes, that's as close to perfect as it can get. Just rush through the turnstiles (and btw the default position is open - nothing stops you as long as the card has cash, so there's no pausing at all), figure out where the train (or subway) is after that, not to mention not having to figure out tickets from the machine. The only decent way to travel, just go go go, no delay. And you can use the same card to buy a coffee from the vending machines in the station.

But then again trains and a lot more really work in Japan. Supermarket? No waiting for payment (card or otherwise) - they're using double-buffering.

Well, you would be responsible if it didn't turn out well. This obviously assumes that you can pull off a successful delivery. But I feel that goes for any project you take on. It's all about calculated risk. If you don't know the language at all, maybe don't do it on a task where you wouldn't have time to pivot back to a language you know if you didn't succeed.

And if it added more complexity, well then it was the wrong technical choice that you made. Normally people switch to Clojure[Script] and Elixir in order to lower complexity and help manage it. If for some reason your project would get more complex with the switch, then don't. I mean, why would you want to switch to a language that you thought would make the code worse?

Finally, I guess I see myself as employed by my company to specifically make such decisions and bring about positive change.

Also, it's okay to say that you're bored, and you need to keep learning and challenge yourself to your employer, otherwise you'll get disinterested and might look elsewhere for work. And this is a way for you to learn and be motivated which costs nothing to them. I mean, that one you can only do if you're valued on your team, but if you are, and I think you'd be surprised more devs are then they think. It's an option.

Now, there's ways to do this that work, and won't feel like a big jab at your employer and your co-workers, but it's not easy, and there are risks you have to be willing to take. I did it at my current job. It does take extra effort on my part. Give other devs good support and mentorship when they need to maintain that part. Plant the seed in their minds beforehand. Let them know you started doing it in a different language, and how it's going. And make sure the end product is good, and explain to the business that it was successful in less time, because of the language choice you made. Etc.
Agreed. Some of those commands are actually deprecated, and it reads like voodoo incantations. I would actually advise people coming to this kind of thing to ignore most of it altogether.

"Tomcat v2" and "unmanned missile trucks" are mutually compatible assertions, considering that standoff use of AN/AWG-9 + Phoenix to cover the outer air defense zone is what the F-14 was all about. A networked mix of active & passive sensor platforms and missile carriers is Tomcat v2 !

Disable scripts for Data Saver users on slow connections
Exactly right, which is why I adjust my monitor settings down if I stay late at the computer. Do do it in steps, and the adapted eye can go down even farther than "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --brightness 0.05 --gamma 2.0:1.0:0.5" and still see quite well... ;-)
Also, for people who read from a tablet or phone in bed, use software that supports a night mode. Set background color to black and font color to dark amber. Then gradually shift down overall brightness. Personally, I use "Cool Reader", which is really good for that, as it lets you adjust brightness just by sliding up/down on the left screen border.
Can you please elaborate? How do you reckon the USSR would achieve such a feat? (If your answer involves ‘submarines’, you’re under-estimating the ASW capabilities of a carrier group.)
There has been a tendency in software development in traditional companies to follow the waterfall method. Make a glorified spec, hand it over to the company that develops it and hope they meet the budget and deadline. There is plenty of examples where that is not the case, but outsourcing to an entire different company does not lend itself readily to mingling with the outsourcing company to interfere with their process.

I would love to outsource some of out development, but to align that work with our goals, I would need a full time senior dev with intimate knowledge of our company and customers working with them managing all they do. Otherwise it's not a given that we get the code quality that ensure we can evolve the software the way we need to in the future.
The "mind racing" is itself the main problem you need to fix, and lavender drops (or any kind of harmless physical remedy) won't do that.

What has worked well for me is to deliberately focus my mind on simple, pleasant topics instead of negative, annoying ones. That time at work when I solved a difficult problem. Dream vacation plans. The great view at the end of a long hike.

I'm aware this may not be easy (or possible) for everyone to do.
Although the consequences could have been disastrous, I hope the person responsible doesn’t get the Gulag treatment.

The so-called 'Electron' cards (e.g. VISA Electron) don't have embossed characters - just ordinary printed characters. Banks often provide these as lower cost cards or cards for children. As the main difference from 'ordinary' cards is that you can't take a carbon copy I'm not sure why they're considered more 'child safe'. Maybe there's more than that, but as far as I can tell they work for everything else - my wife got one of those from the bank.

Compared to other European capitals, when I was there a few years ago, the tech scene in Dublin was relatively small. I think it's grown a bit now, but at the same time I've heard rental prices have gone up quite substantially.

Also worth mentioning that whatever happens with Brexit will have an affect on Ireland too (probably in a bad way), due to the shared border with the UK.
Purifying and moving that water around uses energy. Maybe it's negligible maybe it's not, depending on where you live. Regardless, the seeming abundance of a natural resource doesn't mean that you should willfully waste it. I come from a country that struggles frequently with droughts so maybe I'm biased.

I appreciate you taking time to describe and I'm in 100% agreement. But none of those arguments substantiate your assertion that black money is non-existent in RE.

The fact is owners (not builders) of built houses are unable to sell them even 2years post DeMo because they don't want to accept cash. This has got literally nothing to do with paying for labourers, bathroom fittings as that payment has already happened.

I was responding to your dismissal of the GP's claim that RE is driven by and large by black-money. Specifically;

>>Crushing of Real-estate black market

> What goes on in peoples minds to believe in these things?

> Where is this non-existent black money in the Real Estate market?

The above statement just doesn't line up with the ground reality. Ask just about anyone who deals in RE on a daily basis. The real-estate-agent-shops are dime a dozen in Bangalore streets. They will straight up tell you that they expect you to pay a certain amount in cash (i.e., unaccounted) because the buyer doesn't want to show that money to tax authorities. This is how vast majority of RE dealings are done in India, the builders (i.e., RMZ etc.,) share of the pie is minuscule compared to untracked dealings.

> Ultimately if you are buying cement, paint, steel, bath fittings etc

A wise man once said RE is all about 3 key aspects;'location', 'location', and 'location'. But for location housing/building prices would be same across the country as cement etc., cost the same everywhere. So no, I'm actually not paying much for cement etc., as much as I'm for the location.

Just last week I visited a sub-registrar office in Mysore. Only couple of hours of observing activities there is sufficient to dispel the myth that black-money is non existent in RE. The number and amount of cash dealings going on there was mind blowing, PAN notwithstanding.

BTW this is just one aspect of RE. Then there's about farmland dealings. Just about every politician and govt employee of high ranking hide their cash in hundreds of acres of farm land by buying them in cash. This is not only black-money but also illegal too. You see the details in news all the time, when ED authorities raid a politician or public servant to unearth ownership documents of huge tracts of land.

tl;dr Indian RE is awash with black and illegal money. You either have to be blind or far away from ground action to deny that.
Fair enough. If I ever get a laptop with USB-C, I think I'd replace at least my monitors and keyboard mouse to USB-C devices, so that I can get the "docking station" effect. Sucks if you don't want to do that (ex. because you've just recently bought them) though.
I’ve just moved to Berlin (physically, but need to finish the small print).

Groceries are basically not a problem, even if you don’t speak a single word of German and don’t want to rely on Google Translate on your phone: almost all of the products in packaging have pictures of the food on the outside, the tills show you the total at the same time the cashier tells you, most of the shops accept contactless payment (even discount chains), and half the cashiers probably want to practice their English on you.

On the other hand: at some point in the next month, I need to officially register that I’m living here to get an ID card. I’m not looking forward to that, because I’m told the people in charge of that really insists on speaking German, even in Berlin where about 20% the population is Ausländer.
I've read about the military technique the article outlines before, and it didn't work for me at all. On the other hand, letting my mind come up with some crazy dream has worked wonders for getting me to sleep -- so, it's validating to read that this works for someone else, too. That could be a sign that more than one type of insomnia exists.
