Винаги ми е забавно да гледам как се обличат хората, когато температурите се променят нагоре/надолу между сезоните. В момента половината хора в София са облечени като за (късна) есен, а останалите още са си (средно) летни.

A Grand Slam without Carlos, Jannik and Novak in the semis doesn't feel like a Grand Slam at all.
Oh, well - I have feeling that Sacha Zverev will be 2 time Grand Slam winner 3 days from now.

After much deliberation I've started to work on simplifying the RuboCop defaults for version 2.0 github.com/rubocop/rubo...
I hope you'll fine the new "Preview" functionality useful. (I've borrowed the idea from Rust and I hope it will make it easier for us to align on the best defaults)

I've been wondering if I should retire from (most) social media. It used to be a very fun and human experience early on, but it morphed into something rather unpleasant quickly afterwards.
With few meaningful interactions there in recent years I wonder what's the purpose of using them at all.

"The 100" is one of the worst TV shows I've watched recently - shallow characters, absurd storyline and character "development"...
Still, it's so bad that it is kind of fun and I've made it to the middle of the second season. I doubt I'll get much farther than this, though.

I've started watching #Outlander recently and I barely made it to the end of the first 16 episodes season. Feels pretty slow-paced to most shows with shorter seasons.
