  I think the answer to a lot of this is nuanced, e.g. education including uni is free, except kindergarten and daycare for some weird reason. But the price of those two depends on your income, so if you’re a single parent you get more help. As far as I can remember, daycare was equivalent to 800 USD/month.

  I imagine there’s a lot of help to get if you need it, but I don’t know tbh.

  There’s free health checks during and after pregnancy, and free help (to some extent) if you want to but can’t get pregnant.

  You get money from the state until your kid turns 18, and if they move out when they go to high school/uni the kid also get around 1000 USD/month in subsidies, that don’t have to be paid back after.

  Depending on your career, there’s a lot of understanding for wfh, more time off, you have days off if kid is sick, etc. My employers we’re very understanding.

  Then there’s around 1 year of parental leave - most allocated for the mom ofc. I think now the rules are 14 weeks for the father.

  And yes, Copenhagen is expensive af. I was lucky to get andelsbolig, but otherwise I think it’s common to pay 50% of your salary for an apartment.

  governments around the world suck, but that doesn’t fully capture why people don’t have kids:

  we’re well off and heavily helped with kids-related stuff here in Denmark where we also don’t get many children. I read somewhere else a lot of the explanation is instead that people just don’t value having kids add much as they did generations ago.

  Also there’s 非洲 - meaning the “non-continent” directly translated. It’s what they’ve named Africa.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a thin line between charisma and manipulation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on how you convince them. I told my kid “I want you to wash hands after toilet.”, And I always wash my own hands - so he learned it too. I wouldn’t say that this is manipulation, as I was upfront about my intentions. But it was persuasive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just work a little harder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Denmark we quite happily pay a fuck tonne of tax but you get a lot of bang for your buck:

  you get money whether you’re a student, unemployed, to old or mentally/physically unwell to work, or one year after you’ve given birth. If you’re homeless you can get accommodation (not sure how this works though). Parents get some money for clothing and food for their kids until they turn 18. No free water though, but like clean tap water for 2 USD/ cubic metre so pretty affordable

  To be fair, I think it fits the format quite well - would the high guy know mushrooms aren’t plants? We don’t know!

  I can recommend the book by: Douglas W. Hubbard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Signal’s post-quantum makeover is an amazing engineering achievement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their core feature is secure messaging, so I’d say this result highlights their dedication to the secure aspect of it. So an excellent feature in terms of branding, and probably has more benefits in other places e.g. attracting talent, as developers now can see Signal offers great opportunities to work on complex problems.

  So I’m curious; what do you think would be better investment of their time?

  Yep, that’s true haha.

  It’s perhaps not so much Excel, as much as it’s just the symptom of a lot of bigger issues: working without version control, without column validation or access control, limited documentation (not necessarily better in data warehouse but at least the functionality is easily accessible), limited automated testing, etc etc.

  If only they could keep their data for themselves, then ok. but no no, we have to ingest it, and do work on top of it in dwh, and it just breaks so often due to a variety of different stuff.
