I'm not Ukrainian, I just like how weird foreign symbols looks like in my blog =P

Україна має талант means something like Ukraine's Got Talent and is where Kseniya Simonova fame comes from. It's indescribable what she does, you just have to see a video.

You might enjoy it (or understand it) a little more if you read about what's going on before actually seeing the videos.

Here is a fragment from a small article:

The appearance of a shy 24-year-old on a Ukrainian TV talent show this year has caused a nation to revisit its painful wartime past and is well on the way to becoming an international sensation.

About 13 million people watched Kseniya Simonova win Ukraine's Got Talent live with an extraordinary demonstration of "sand art". Most of them, according to reports, were weeping.

file:line VIM plug-in

This VIM script should be part of the official VIM distribution:

When you open a file:line, for instance when copying and pasting from an error from your compiler VIM tries to open a file with a colon in its name. With this little script in your plugins folder if the stuff after the colon is a number and a file exists with the name specified before the colon VIM will open this file and take you to the line you wished in the first place.

Link Time Optimization

The upcoming LLVM 2.6 will include a plug-in for Gold to implement Link Time Optimization (LTO) using LLVM's LibLTO. There is a similar project for GCC, merged into the main trunk about a week ago. It will be available in GCC 4.5.

This is all fairly new, and will be not enabled by default in LLVM (I don't know what about GCC), but it will add a lot of new optimization oportunities in the future.

So people using LDC and GDC will probably be able to enjoy LTO in a near future =)
