I like the "prototype" book, the one that inspired Orwell to write his 1984, much better. It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_(novel) I read it in Russian though, and the language of the book is just l

Alcohol helps people socialize and is significantly harder to get addicted to – the 1st part of your sentence seems to contradict the 2nd: nowadays people can't think of getting together and not drinking and that's to me exactly b

I haven't tried to learn Chinese myself, but a friend of mine who has and quite successfully so told me that Chinese is surprisingly simple and easy to learn. The hardest things in it are, of course, hieroglyphs and pronunciation, but

There's this advice I read in a similar article that, I think, makes a lot of sense and is ignored in 99 cases out of 100 – put a period in the end of a commit message so a reader can clearly see that nothing is broken or corrupted and
