Speaking from experience, me and my good friend often "weave" together by playing rounds of hipbone games [1] on a napkin. And the better you know each other, the more it feels like this [2]. [1]: https://boardgamegeek.

FYI, I heard that Georgia plans to introduce visas for Russians, because local population begins to worry of all the immigrants taking jobs. Meanwhile, in Russia's remote places (small town in Ural region) some grocerry shops have impo

Thanks for giving me a perspective as a younger generation! I wasn't even born at the time, and obviously see our daily reality differently. OTOH, I think what you just described falls into p. 1 and 4.

Thank you for the offer, but, in all honesty, you should rather donate your money to Ukrainian support organizations. I'm already privileged enough to work remotely from home and earn a decent salary.

The common narrative I see on tech forums since 24th Feb is this: "if various sanctions and blockings will make average Russians' life miserable enough (i.e. even more miserable than it already is), they will stand up and oppose t

Thanks you, but I'm way past this — mostly because I reevaluated my stance towards academia and have a family to support here. To clarify: I contacted one of the professors directly, whom I visited, who was aware of my background (my e

This is an interesting and valid point. Though, even if I could, why would I? Forming a bond (be it faked or real) with a person who might end up despising you for your blood (which you are trying to escape), and then trying to integrate in

In 2022: zero, unless you have relatives/friends from abroad who are willing to help. I'm mid-20s below-average Russian born and raised in a city with population of 19k (and declining), Ural region. Average salary here is around 2

Have your read p.1 in the message you are replying to? Red does not support static linking, that's true, but you can link to a dynamic runtime library instead, without slow recompilation times... or use the interpreter, or encap the sc

Instantly reminded me of "Body Electric" by Robert Becker. A fascinating account of how novelty in research is often ridiculed despite being revolutionary, interspersed with various electromagnetic theories: from limb regeneration

I wonder if there are any similar philosophical discourses about graffiti scene and street art? Thanks for sharing BTW.

Pain has a transformative character, and the one you have will never go away. Your duty is to live with it, the same way your loved one did. My grandmother was an avid gardener. Now that summer is here, I tend to it every day after job. It&

Rebol family of languages is not related to Snobol. They also have PEG parsing engines, not regex ones.

> REBOL/Red-lang goes more towards "a more pragmatic regular language for pattern recognition" Rebol and Red use embedded PEG parsers, which, by definition, support context-free, and not just regular, languages.

If you like Tsutomu Nihei's megastructures and video games (specifically Half-Life 2 modding scene and old-school, retro-to-the-bone shooters), you should check out G String [1]. My 2020 GOTY hands down. But an absolute go-to for lover

Rebol2 is de-facto abandoned, Rebol3 has split into divergent community forks [1], and Red suffers from setbacks with organizational issues trying to deliver its vision. Carl is not involved in any of the projects. In the Rebol family, &quo

Good point about Tcl, that now makes sense. Thanks for elaborating!
