    In some way it is fun to learn languages.
    And Finnish is most certainly an eye catcher on a resume. Pretty pointless for the rest of the world, considering a country with about 5 million inhabitants. But fun nevertheless. Most Fins I know are excellent guys/girls ... never been there though. I guess I could not compete with their drinking/party attitude :D
    And then again, unlike english or french finish is written/spelled as you pronounce it. One mayour obstacle in language learning is gone :D

    Therapy is the way to be cured.

    Makes no sense to play with words here ...

    Good thing then there's no such thing as a "negative placebo".
    That is nonsense.
    It is pretty well established that patients that get a valid treatment but believe they are beyond hope often have no effect from the treatment.

    "Placebo" effects go both ways. Even in double blind studies as the participitiants know: "perhaps I'm in the control group and don't get the real thing".

    One reason why double blind studies are meanwhile often considered unethical and in live threatening situations are no longer done. There are no double blind cancer or HIV studies anymore since minimum a decade.

    Probably your brain is wired to see errors and mistakes.
    I only see meaning :D

    However when I perform examinations in martial arts, I also only see mistakes ... after the end it is often hard to remember what the good parts where.

  4. I never used stimulants ... not even coffeeine (wtf: how to spell that?) pills.

    ADHD is an interesting phenomena, do you drink Coke? There is strong evidence that the Phosphates in coke emphasize it.

    Find a sport you are interested in, I usually suggest martial arts. It is a great complementation to most "brain jobs" and tireing enough to make you ... well, tired :D

    Perhaps only half misinformed :D
    The grammar is still quite complex if you want to go into the depths.

    There are basically three big language groups in Europe: latin/roman based (mediterranian and France), German/Nordic based (Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden - until around 1000 AC all those regions had so called intelligible languages, depending a bit of course how close they where to each other) and then the slavic languages, to the east and north.

    English is an outsider as it is a bastard language where nearly everything except slavic is mixed in.

    Then we have of course some outsiders: Basque and Greek ... and some arabic/spain/african mix on Malta, and plenty of regions that regain their local dialects, mostly Gaelic based: Gallicia/Spain, Ireland, Scottland and Bretone/Brittany.

    Ah, I forgot the 4th relatively big group: Finish and other Baltic languages. Not so big if you consider the amount of people there, but big area.

    Funnily Russian imported a view German words, e.g. Butterbrot.

  6. One reason why I don't edit anymore.

    I used to maintain the german "Scrum" site (some morons put complete bullshit there), but I'm no longer doing that, mainly because I lost my password. And Wikipedia has a broken password recovery page since 5 or 6 years, no one is fixing it ... funny somehow, but actually sad.

    Na, it is very close to german.
    With some patience you can basically read it.
    Even as an english speaker you should be able to read 20% - 30% of the words.

    Learning a nordic language should not be a problem for an english speaker. Considering that english is heavy influenced by germanic and nordic languages.
    Most jobs there are english anyway ...

    A full-stack developer is a jack of all trades and master of none.
    That is nonsense.

    If you are to dumb to do several things that all are centered around software development that is your problem.

    For example, I saw an actual listing for a job that wanted a web programmer who could also: design for print and web, do photography and videography, create e-mail campaigns, handle social media, write content and documentation, and train users.
    This is ofc an absurd requirement. But still I know people who exactly do that and have no problem with it.

    What is more interesting here is that Autopilot failed to follow the road markings.
    This is one of the things that make me wonder why so many american companies build their own driving assist systems instead of buying decades old proven technology from Europe (see e.g. Volvo, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota - yes Toyota is not european but uses technology from Europe)
