Rainier had one of the most excellent C++ blogs. He is also the author of several books on modern C++ standards. Rest in peace, Rainer. :(

The author is Jencel P.? I saved this book sometime ago under the author name Boris Marinov? Is this the same person now writing under a different pen name?

Is the same. He seems to obscure himself déliberately.

Aren't checkouts much lighter than cloning the entire repository, both in terms of speed and space usage? I think so.

At least it is honest. If it were named the US Department of Peace, it would be very like 1984. ;)

Actually, throughout Eastern Europe, there was an excellent math and science curriculum during the socialist era. Despite all the negatives of this system, the good education was one of the huge positives. In the last 30 years in Bulgaria, there has been a significant decline, but some good traditions are still maintained, at least in the elite schools.

I suspect that an important factor was that math was sufficiently abstract so that the smart people could go there and do their thing without risk of saying something that would offend the regime. If you said something carelessly in economy, you might have disagreed with Lenin. If you said something carelessly in biology, you might have disagreed with Lysenko. But in math, you could say anything you wanted, and you were okay. And in communism you were not allowed to start your own company anyway, which is why many smart people became math teachers instead.

Ask Greeks for their work week. ;)

I hope the original hardware of retro systems will be in production again someday.

The Bulgarian parliament refused to organize a referendum despite the civil petition for such.

I'm a long-time Grammarly user. I just tried Harper, and it simply performs very poorly. It is a good initiative, but I don't feel the current state of this software to be worthwhile.
