    I think the only criterion is the presence of a person who was able to create an interesting and suitable problem for the target language and submitted it for inclusion in the IOL.…

    See also my reply to the sibling, but in the country I come from they were well known maybe from some time between the 20s or 30s, and they were generally always regarded as a good…

    This explains it. I come from a former Eastern Bloc country and Škoda was well established here well before the former regime overtook power after a short occupation by the Red arm…

    Side note, but I don't get the part about Škoda. They have been building cars literally since the onset of the 20th century and have been a well established producer for a long tim…

    Also, on an unrelated note, I would never ever suggest novice users to blindly just give `chmod +w` to random locations. This is only marginally better than the `chmod 777 ` that u…

    Yes, it was a БЗНС thing at first. There were three major reforms in the way Modern Standard Bulgarian is written: 0. no official codification (before 1899; basically everybody wro…

    Thanks for the thorough explanation! I can't edit my answer above anymore, but I upvoted you. This actually reminds me that there is also „lapte bătut“ in Bulgarian („бито мляко“, …

    Yes, I plead guilty and am utterly ashamed of myself. My usage above was totally misleading when we consider the way people write nowadays. :) In Bulgaria, the letter was first bri…

    Yes, thanks. I edited my text above and removed all references to ‘oxidised’; also for Bulgarian since the words are related, but not the same: „кисел“ / «όξινο» (sour/acidic) vs „…

    A piece of information which I missed in the article: ‘yoghurt’ was an almost completely unknown word in Bulgaria until as soon as 2-3 decades ago. We call the substance „кисело мл…

    I never touch the DDG settings, but I often search in about a dozen different languages, and I get great results. The rare times I try to find something in another search engine, i…

    I am not even a regular Emacs user (sorry, on the Vim side for now), and I think Orgzly is a great note-taking app. Actually the best one I've tried so far. It's true! :)

    The old Symbian* smartphones. Just a detail, I know, but as far as I remember, I changed few Symbian devices before the iPhone came out and I hopped over Android soon after. I can'…

    I have been using precisely Nginx to serve multiple HTTPS domains with certificates from Let's Encrypt since the first few weeks after it came out, so I am not sure why you think i…
