Without more information about what you want to learn and what your objectives are, it's hard to recommend specific sites. Do you have any idea what language you're aiming to take up, and have you got a specific project in mind?

Here are some basic guidelines if you're just looking to get involved:

  • Before just diving in, work out what you want to achieve. Sometimes it's easier to take an existing project and work on adding features than starting from scratch. Identifying your area of interest will help narrow the selection of languages you'll want to focus on.
  • Start small. Don't take on big projects until you're comfortable achieving tasks you set yourself. Running code on a webserver is a good way to start seeing immediate results. Choose a language that suits, and hack something together. Javascript, html and css are a good entry into coding, and the results are immediate, no compilation required, just a webserver and and browser!
  • Find a text editor that you're prepared to invest time learning. VS Code / Codium might appear daunting at first, but if you're committed to learning, it'll pay off in time by helping you write and format your code with inline help, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and error checking etc. For something simpler but still coder-focused, Bluefish is a lot less capable but a lot easier to pick up, and still has syntax highlighting and support for various languages.

  1. What do Russians think of (anti-Ukraine war) Americans? That is, the people who want it to be quickly resolved so we can dig ourselves out of debt?
  2. How religious is Russia? And what do they think of the secular societies of the western nations?
  3. Is western literature and media heavily censored?
  4. My friend's mom was Russian, and she said that they had to forage for food when she was young. How applicable is that to the general (Soviet-era) Russian population? Was there a lot of scarcity?
  5. How is personal liberty there? Certain things that are guaranteed in the US Constitution, such as the 4th amendment (freedom from illegal search and seizure), the 2nd amendment (the right of the people to keep and bear arms), the 1st amendment (freedom of speech), aren't available there. Are those prohibitions nominal? Could someone "get away" with exercising any of those rights, or would it be certain to lead to penalties?

And yes, I know that I mostly echoed the guy below me.

Cool, nice to hear that Russia has not blocked I2P, I expect that with just 100 or so malicious routers they would be able to get the IP's of most of the network to block them. I have a couple of questions too:

  1. Do you believe that Russia may have a revolution sometime soon with people fighting for better personal liberties and minimal government?
  2. Does Russian media victimize Russia and portray the rest of the world, primarily the USA to be aggressive to Russia to fuel a stronger national identity (not saying that the US is not aggressive to Russia. Hopefully that will change with Trump) and get Russians fighting for the motherland?

What do you think about raising Novgorod from the ashes of history and put an end to the Tsar tyranny once and for all? Do you think Russian citizens could in secret build the much needed institutions and powers while still under the yoke of the current mongol absolutist power structure? Maybe over i2p? It's clear that killing Putin won't be enough.

Sup!

  1. No. Rather, not quite. Due to the harsh mentality, the police may be dangerous to exceed their powers. But if they see "easy prey", then you can expect anything.
  2. Maybe you heard, we introduced a law on the ban on propaganda of LGBT. The new generation is not against the LGBT movement, rather it doesn’t matter to them, or they are its participants themselves. And the older generation is almost always against.
  3. As I understand it, you had a call for war (I could be wrong because of a machine translation). Yes, it is clearly.
  4. Most Russian people play for Russia, but not for Putin. Thank you for your questions! I was glad to answer!
