Nah I just didn't know anything about Mandarin really

I'm 40 years old and have lived in the Helsinki metropolitan area my whole life. I have a licence, but I have never owned a car because I don't need it. I drive maybe twice a year when I need to go somewhere I can't reach by public transport, I borrow a relative or friend's car for that.

I'm frustrated when people put this kind of typography on the web. HTML can do superscript.

I hope the folding and normalization is configurable by language. I really hate it when some search decides that a and ä are the same letter. In Finnish they really aren't; "saari" is an island, "sääri" is the lower leg or shin.

This is an interesting linguistic rabbithole about my former employer's name, for no particular reason.

Cheap travel is a horrible thing for the world. Mass tourism has destroyed a lot.

What are es and rc? Can you give some links?

It's common practice to open the socket to start listening on the <1024 port, then drop the root privileges and continue as a different user.

Can you please explain what you mean by employee attrition to a non-native English speaker?
