That's where the "mandatory" in the mandatory military service comes in (btw, I agree with your sentiment that it is stupid, the point is that you can't just not do it, you will be…

I used to use vimium for years, but today I discovered surfingkeys and it seems to just be better. One killer feature for me is that pressing `I` will open a vim-like text editor for the text area in …

Off topic: Jesus Christ that table is bad. How badly have they messed it up that reversing sort order takes multiple seconds on my pc? It was so slow that I thought maybe it is sending a new request t…

This looks like the exact opposite of what I would do if I were to redesign operating systems. The job of operating system is just to run application and get out of the way, and most importantly be de…
