    Do you know what I do almost every day? Flussschifffahrt! That's an impressive German word with triple "s" and "f" meaning "river ship journey" (that's how I commute). It's an example of a new spelling resulting from 1996 German language reform which replaced some "ß" with "ss".

    A very insightful overview of Russian speakers pronunciation errors in English: I've heard about some of those: final consonant devoicing and problematic vowel sounds ("feet vs fit", "pat vs pet", etc.), but some of those were completely new.

    Италия была кусочками небольших королевств до середины XIX века. Движение, что определило национальное сознание и привело к объединению Италии в 1861, называется рисорджименто.

    ATMs and terminals often propose to pay in your home currency when abroad. I used to think that it's good for me (no need to pay my bank fee for non-standard currency!). I was naive: it turns out they add ~6% on top of FX rate which is usually much higher than any fees.

    Why the normal distribution is so ubiquitous in modelling? One reason is CLT, but the other is more interesting: it has the highest entropy among all distributions with given mean and variance! I.e. it is the most non-committal model choice we can make.

    Открытие дня: внезапно осознал, что такое "скаляр", почему именно так называется. Это то, что _скэйлит_ (to scale) векторы! Когда я это учил, ещё толком не знал английского, а теперь ясно: "Vector space is a collection of objects which can be added together and scaled by scalars"
