0X0F
/* * @author: Maxim Fridental * @version: 1.0 * @description: Yet another nostalgic post. Handcrafted in HTML. * * TODO: stop whining. */ Today I’m facing the last 0x0f days of my life as software developer. # I have very strong and mixed feelings about that, because being # software developer is part of my …
Vergebung
Könnt ihr das bitte bildlich vorstellen? Jemand nimmt eure Hand, und nagelt sie fest an einen Stück Holz. Einfach mit Hammer, ohne Betäubung. Mit einem Nagel direkt in die Mitte. Und ihre Hand bewegt sich etwas hin und her auf dem Nagel, solange er noch nicht festgehammert ist. Und danach fühlt ihr mit dem Handrücken das vom Nagel auseinandergeschobene Holz.

How to begin
What first programming language should learn a wannabe programmer? When I was a beginner, we were supposed to build our computers ourselves: layout and make the board, buy the chips, solder them on the board, test and debug the hardware, organize a ROM with some operating system… When we were ready, we could turn on the …

Half-Vegetarian for a Week
As far as I can remember, I’ve first heard about vegetarians on a Russian Literature class, where we have been told Leo Tolstoy was a vegetarian. Tolstoy being totally uncool among the pupils, the vegetarian idea seemed to be also uncool to us. But it is interesting that this movement is quite old, and is …
