The triangle of happiness is a simplification of the main factors that tend to drive most people in their jobs. Put simply, if you're not satisfied with at least 2 of the 3 points of the triangle, your overall job satisfaction is in real question.

t from 16 September people can simply tap a debit or credit card – if it is enabled for contactless payment – on the terminal gates as they start and end their journey, with the payment coming straight out of the bank account. Bus travellers in London have been able to pay for their single journeys using contactless banks cards since 2012, and the technology is now being introduced for the tube, Docklands Light Railway and London Overground trains.

The idea of the Good Country Index is pretty simple: to measure what each country on earth contributes to the common good of humanity, and what it takes away. Using a wide range of data from the U.N. and other international organisations, we’ve given each country a balance-sheet to show at a glance whether it’s a net creditor to mankind, a burden on the planet, or something in between.

To sit comfortably with your thoughts first requires seeing that there's a sense in which they're not real. A less new agey way of putting it is simply that you don't need to believe your thoughts. Whereupon they become fun to watch, and the need for distraction subsides. To quote the title of a book by Sylvia Boorstein, a meditation teacher: don't just do something, sit there.

I used to be really excited about JavaScript. I worked for five years running an open source project that was 95% JavaScript. I still never felt like I had a great handle on the tech stack though, and my understanding of so much of the new JS hotness (ES6, Angular, Ember, Shadow DOM, Module systems, etc) feels woefully lightweight. So many jobs seem to ask for AngularJS knowledge now. I took a few stabs at it, but the frequent BC breaks and plans for 2.0 have almost entirely soured me on the framework. My interest in rich client-side apps has almost entirely reversed, and now I’m more interested in doing good ol’ server rendering with the occasional side of progressive enhancement, just like we did it in 2004.

Here's a handy list of tools and apps for developers and folks launching businesses.

The actual "gear queer hits the street" look is crazier than that - I don't really understand it… As near as I can tell it's the look of people who aren't carrying a gun but want to make you think they are. It's a mad look - the people they imagine they are dressing up as will never be caught dead in any of that gear, because they are carrying guns. Their uniform is baggy khakis, a striped polo shirt and a faded ball cap. It's called "grey man" and it's this look that's in-between everything. Are they tennis playing tech executives, or are they there to fix the air conditioner? You sort of can't tell. It's designed to attract absolutely no attention and project as little law enforcement and special forces vibe as possible. It's become so popular that now when I see anyone wearing that uniform I check for the bulge of a weapon. In Afghanistan I've been told that with a very specific trim of beard that look will get you in trouble unless you genuinely are the real thing.
