I loved this movie back when it came out. I guess that's a good reminder to finally rewatch it. :D

Вече 8 години живея в "зелена зона" (става синя скоро) и не е някаква голяма драма, та не ги разбирам много-много хората, които оревават света за зоните.
Да, би било добре парите от платеното паркиране да отиват за ремонт на улиците и тротоарите, но за мен е по-важно че поне се намерит места сега.

I derive some strange masochistic pleasure from hacking in #Rust. I don't really need to go low-level for anything I do, but it's so fun to do so and to have to think once again about the memory model of an application. I hadn't done much (any) thinking about this since I stopped programming in C++.

I've got plenty of bad habits, but fortunately watching "reality shows" (e.g. Big Brother, Survivor, The Bachelor, The Farm, The Hacker, The Emacser) has never been one of them.

Must read. Basically, if you’ve fallen for Ru propaganda, the chatbots will dig you in even deeper. Also note this: “Grok provided the highest number of Russian sources even when asked neutral questions, the research found.” Higher than the Chinese chatbot!
‘The researchers believe that the chatbots use Russian sources more often when a topic is considered a data void, a search term that doesn’t have many high-quality results.’

"Dune" is one of my favourite books and I love re-reading it from to time. The sequels, however, never resonated with me and I often think that we'd be better of without any of them.
