Yup, the Ian Knot and the Secure Knot (https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm) have taken over my household. The latter is particularly good for kids, who often learn the "bunny ears" method, but then switch to double-knotting and all the attendant untangling hassle.

Yes, Nix is totally viable. Steep learning curve, but many benefits.

Presumably etags/gtags/hasktags etc., ie. having built a TAGS database for such a helper program, you can use it in an editor to jump from a field name to its definition. That wouldn't be the case with a lens accessor.

You can control which categories of ads will be displayed in your Adsense account settings. It shouldn't be necessary in a civilised world, of course, but there you go.

Author here. The blog is for my personal brand, because I often work independently, but I was employed full-time as lead architect for this venture.

Check to see if the battery is swollen -- that happened a lot with those machines, and typically interfered with the trackpad click.

Most people tend to automatically reflect back at others the emotions projected towards them: someone gets angry at you, and you get angry right back at him. Being able to notice this in the moment and sidestep the reaction is a learned skill.
On the opposite end of the scale, there are "sponges" who receive and absorb others' emotions unconditionally, as you describe. I've known many people like this, and many seem to develop unusual health issues -- but it's equally possible to notice this process in the moment and modulate it.
In both cases, practicing mindfulness meditation is the most direct way to develop the necessary skills.

This might indeed be a problem for Irish nationals, just as the "IR35" rules affect UK contractors working through limited companies, but I can't imagine that a non-national working outside Ireland through an Irish company would suddenly be considered resident in Ireland for tax purposes.
