In Yugoslavia, various companies 'produced' computers by essentially relabeling Western equipment, especially during the eighties when I was a child. For instance, the Electronic Industry in Niš (EI Niš) imported Honeywell compute

As Cardinal Richelieu said: If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him. It's perfectly clear what Stallman said and what he meant by it. But if there are by

I just checked from a different computer using both Firefox and Chrome, and I had no issues, even when in incognito mode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Minor nitpick: all Serbs will learn the Latin alphabet not because they’ll eventually learn English, but because the Latin alphabet is being taught in elementary schools alongside Cyrillic.

Hmm, Java is more open than ever, and the development of the JVM is more vibrant than ever. For over 99% of people, OpenJDK (or any other similar distribution) is all they will ever need. As a Java developer, I am certainly much happier now

Sure, US speaks softly at first, and when they don't get what they asked for, then they pull that big stick. Now, you may think that's nice behavior but that's because you didn't end up on the receiving end of that stick

Yeah, they are the ones with hundreds military bases all over the world, constantly invading/bombing other nations, staging coups, sponsoring terr^H^H^H freedom fighters...

Oh, NS2 sabotage is quite relevant as it shows that "someone" can blow up (partially) German infrastructure while Germany have no guts to even wink in the direction of the perpetrator. Not exactly a definition of a sovereign count

It's the same mine in a field as RHEL (a commercial Linux distribution). However, that has never prevented anyone from using other free distributions.

Yeah, it's funny how they always want to reshape the FSF instead of creating a new organization with their own leadership, mission, and whatever else they want.

> Iraq was a travesty, and I have no idea what went on with Libya, or what is going on with Syria, for example. Beautifully spoken. Yet you still speak of peaceful, free and rules-based order.

I see that I struck a nerve when pointing out that this mythical 'defensive alliance' constantly wages wars on the territories of other countries :) I'm so sorry.

Yeah, except the West isn't equal to the world and chances of Russian generals handing Putin to ICC are the same as US generals delivering Bush or Obama to the ICC.

Especially those manufactured in Malaysia, as they could be overclocked more successfully than the 300As made in Costa Rica. Fun times.

There's also a Mason[0] plugin that handles the installation of LSP (also DAP/linters/formatters) installation in a very visual way. [0] https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim

I do, but mostly when massaging data. With plugins such as multi-cursor and LSP, I rarely have the need to bulk edit code.

I often use jjj and don't plan to change that. Forty years ago, when working on slow terminals, it may have made sense to optimize movement but not today. For small movements, I tend to spam keys. For larger jumps, I use an easy-motion

> And yet, when a man and his wife are shot and killed just because they happen to be royalty It also happened that they were occupying Bosnia, where neither Austrians nor Hungarians lived, but Serbs did.

Usual response to that is that there's a skew in Clojure related data as its community consists of mostly experienced devs. I know it's anecdotal evidence but I'm doing Java right now because I couldn't find a Clojure jo

I remember using turbo switch when playing Tetris. At the startup game would try to adjust its speed to the speed of the hardware it was running on so turning of turbo (basically lowering 8086 frequency from 10 to 4.77Mhz) resulted in a gam

I got one (ISOMED) in Belgrade for ~850 euros from a relatively prominent dentist. A lot of dentists here have patients from all over the Europe - it make sense if you're going to fix several teeth.

Why not both ;) - ESC when tapped, CTRL as a modifier key when pressed together with some other key.
