RIP alt coffee


Turns out they closed Alt Coffee last year, so now it's official: Coffee Time in MDM is the best open coffee shop I've seen. If you live in Moscow and you are tolerant of Alice in Wonderland, you should definitely visit it.

Adblock for Moscow

From Москва 60-х

That's what my neighborhood would look like if ads were banned in Moscow. I didn't realize that it makes such a huge difference before I looked at these 1960s photos. The “No banner ads on paid services” concept should definitely be adopted IRL.

ACM ICPC 2008

Really impressive: two gold, one silver and two bronze medals for Russia (and two more medals for Ukraine and Belarus).
