    Per a post on Mastodon, today is also the 35th anniversary of the founding of Ukraine…

    Not making a political statement but crazy that both of these happened on same day.

    Mind you, there was no stackoverflow back then, so he most likely learned all that shit reading hard papers.

          I literally used to walk uphill, both ways, in the snow.

          Well, in winter anyway. To the bus stop. Because I lived on one side of a hill and the bus stop was on the other.

        Someone smart enough to make Linux so huge should have been smart enough to know that.

    I sort of remember that announcement. I ran to the university library to read about minix, but I don’t think I found any books.
