I've read memoirs by Anatoly Chernyaev [1]. And the whole impression was that Gorbachev had no clue about what do next. He was quite successful in breaking existing system but no feasible plan for further movement. Quite similar to wha

I'm really astonished. In what kind of echo chamber do you live in? Have you been in Russia in 90's? It was not only an economical disaster, more than ten years we lived in a constant bombardment by the media of "revelations&

What does make you think so? I have witnesed everything since Brezhnev. Under Gorbachev thing started to detiriorate quite fast and most people shifted their focus from being happy about the iron curtain removal to making ends meet. As a pe

Not exactly like the title imply. I built a minimalist RSS reader which I use exclusively. The main reason I don't market it I'm unsure I want to deal with feature requests etc. https://feedcircuit.kibardin.name

Interesting. I don't find the Nix language itself especially complex, however, the whole system built with it is not that easy. For instance, packaging process is very well documented, making a derivation looked simple and reasonable u

I'm afraid I should have been a bit more explicit. Try to look at the humanity not as if it is something good, unique etc. that happens to the universe which is doomed to progress, prosperity and all the good things. It might not be ne

I believe there are good movements to look at - VHEMT, Misanthropic division etc. While not all of it are real they may bring you some peace and appeasement. Frustration is a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction ari

Sure, I know about plugins. By catching up I rather mean features introduced by the new generation of messengers. Not that features such as like link preview are critical but I would miss them should I use pidgin again.

I definitely liked it, however, since whatsapp, telegram, slack etc had joined the game with mostly proprietary protocols it looks like it just has no chance to catch up and it is very sad - I find the ability to choose a client quite impor

As years pass by I feel that I'm starting to be more concerned about the "income" part of the job. At the same time I feel that there are a lot less "bicycles to invent". But while I sleep a lot better when my brain

Interesting. I've never ask myself this question, but reading your post I have realized that I really don't like solving problem together in person with whiteboard etc. Realizing that this cannot be considered as a good trait from

I think the first issue you need to address is your frustration. It is definitely caused by unreasonable expectation of "a salary must always reflect a value a person brings". It would be great if that is true, but in reality it o

I believe the reason is that russians often perceive western worldview as a voice from the ivory tower of free world implying some kind of moral superiority. The whataboutism is just an awkward attempt to decline this very moral superiority

The reason why any state tries to present its history in a positive light is a different question. Good things are exaggerated, bad things are smoothed over. The states doing the opposite just doesn't live long. Being positive about US

Or you may someone who live in Russia :) I can share a worldview many Russians hold. Of course I'm influenced by a state propaganda to some extent, but at least I read both, Russian and Western media.

I would also ask to elaborate. Looking at its history I don't feel like C has been conceived with some concept in mind. C++ OOP implementation doesn't look the best of its kind.

The numbers are quite impressive, however, apart from thermal expansion other numbers, such as density and strength are not specified, which makes SR-71 mentioning quite dubious.

That is really interesting, thanks!

As for me the more interesting questions would be why and what. Without this the answers to the questions which I don't find that important (and difficult) sound kinda kafkaesque.

I think it has changed a bit since then. There was not a lot to smile about in Russia in 2002. Not that now we smile at each other every time, but we do this more often and even if we don't faces are a lot less grumpy :)

I don't think this is that bad. There is nothing like consistent effort to simplify, at least I don't see any :) I don't get this language preservation at any cost sentiment. IMO, there are always features in a language which

My experience with youtube is different. I've never seen an ad which I considered inappropriate, nothing from what you listed. So commenting on that I was mostly focused on content rather than ads. For ads, I think, it is pretty clear
