Coffee Talk
Coffee Talk
Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Click the link in the **comments** :) ㅤ F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and has landed now in **Copenhagen for the first time ever!** 😎 ㅤ **📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?** FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk! Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in **Copenhagen** every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Valerie, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭 **🕹 HOW TO JOIN?** **[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftstcopenhagen1)** 🔗 On your phone and can’t click?

Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara **[Read our 200+ Google reviews here 👈](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7)** *(we ain't your typical meetup ;)* **🤓 FAQ** **• Can I come alone?** Of course, everyone does! **• Can I be late?** Please don't!

Grammars, Parsers and Tokenisers.
Grammars, Parsers and Tokenisers.
A brief introduction and discussion about lexical analysis, parsers, grammars, NDFA and DFA, and compiler generators. A grammar is a 4-tuple defined as Non terminals, terminals, a start symbol, and a set of productions. G(N, T, S, P) LL (scan from the left and build a left tree), LR (scan from the left and build a right tree). Recursive descent (A possibly hand built LL parser). Productions will be Chomsky type 3 for regular expressions for lexical analysis, and type 2 (context free) for computer languages, based on BNF. Let’s build a very simple tokeniser and then use it to parse a small language using recursive descent. My language of choice would be C# but we could use C or C++ if there is consensus on that. C# Lexer/Tokeniser can be fetched from (now with parse tree) www.blueoffice.com

Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!** Are you... ...new to the city, a local, been here for a while or recently returned? ...looking to develop new meaningful friendships? ...tired of repeating yourself on "how long have you been here?" "so...what do you do?" questions at traditional networking events? ...craving for more deep conversations that go beyond the small talk? ...feeling a little lonely or out of place lately? ...on the look out for a new tribe cos your friends have either moved away or are busy with new phases in life? ...simply want to take your social networking skills to the next level? …and on top of that… \*You are in your 30s/40s+ and wondering where people your age hang out? If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place. **Welcome to Authentic You Me** We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases. Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. **Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.* \-\-\- \*\*\*𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗲, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others. Join me for a carefully and lovingly curated slow-friending evening that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, challenging your perspective and sparking curiosity through stimulating conversations – all in a welcoming, non-intimidating & hyggelige setting. Designed to suit both introverts & extroverts. . . **\*\*\*Please note that this is a mission-led PAID event.

Alternative book **"The Obstacle Is the Way:** **The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph"** By Ryan Holiday Audiobook available in Audible. Yes, this is the book for January. What can you expect from the **meetup**? * A safe space to discuss about the topic * A short summary of the book by one of the members (Agnes will do it this time) * A not-so-strict moderated discussion based on the book * Sometimes, short participative activities to activate the discussion or reach common grounds and conclusions. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Changes from October 2025: 1.
