Did you actually listen to the speech? There was none of it. He stated that Soviet National republics were created by taking historical Russian territory and giving them to newly formed states. All true.
Who knows. Maybe Putin is losing support in Russia and sees all-out war with Europe as a way to stay in power.
Why and how to convert audience to users and customers?
Double clicking selects a word, and triple-clicking selects the whole line. If I double- or triple-click-and-hold, I can drag the mouse to expand the selection word-wise or line-wise, not just character-wise. This works with the paragraphs of text in the body of this blog post, too.

I had no idea that you could end with a drag to expand your selection by word or by line like that. That's really cool. (The author's using Linux, but it works on macOS too.)
A lot of times I think about how brutal modern warfare would be today if it weren't for nuclear weapons. Imagine a WW2 style scenario but with smart weapons, cluster bombs, cruise missiles, modern main battle tanks, drones, and computerized artillery/MLRS. All being employed in industrial scale quantities by major nation states without the risk of nuclear war. It would be unimaginable carnage.
I suspect long-term, large-scale hydrogen storage is not "just like natural gas"... those pesky little H₂ molecules are awfully small, and may leak out rather easily compared to hydrocarbons.
That's the wrong question. It assumes there is an upside. But the real question is: what is the downside of not defending Ukraine? and what is the downside of defending Ukraine? Because war doesn't really have an upside, it only has downsides.
From further down in the article:

> Furthermore, that cell includes two membrane sacs, one of which contains all the cell’s DNA, Volland and colleagues report in their 18 February preprint on bioRxiv. Volland calls that sac an organelle and that’s “a big new step” that implies the two branches of life are not as different as previously thought, Carvalho says. “Perhaps it’s time to rethink our definition of eukaryote and prokaryote!” agrees Petra Levin, a microbiologist at Washington University in St Louis. “It’s a supercool story.”

IMO, they really buried the lede on this one by focusing on the size of the bacterium and not on the convergent evolution of an apparent nucleus in a prokaryote.
> This sounds to me like a distinction without a difference. In both cases, the net result would be approximately 0 effect on the overall mental health of the population being studied.

I believe OP is saying that the underlying assumption here is that students do not get happier during their time during university without lockdown.

If for instance 2/3 students left university happier than when they started pre-lockdown/covid, this would need to be accounted for in any study to make it meaningful.
That’s just paranoia.
Yes. Very much this.

Another example: default macOS dropdowns allow you to click and drag while holding the button to select something in one single gesture. Default <select> implementation in Chrome/Vivaldi also supports it. None of the custom JS ones support it.

The menu that opens from a <select> extends outside of the browser viewport which makes it easier to choose from long lists.

Anything that opens a custom popup menu, including a dropdown, can only close it when you click within the browser viewport, for obvious reasons. System popup menus (NSMenu I think?) are kinda system-modal in that you can close them by clicking anywhere on screen, which is more convenient.

Indeed, if Ukraine hadn't given up its nuclear weapons after the fall of the USSR, it wouldn't be in this position. This attack is another reminder to Iran, North Korea, etc, that if you don't maintain a nuclear arsenal your nation is a colony.
Perhaps, but there are already significant economic sanctions in place since the previous invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Russia has survived those reasonably well. More sanctions will probably come but they can only be incremental. Several key NATO members are highly dependent on Russian energy supplies and can't afford to shut those off indefinitely.
Well, in that case we are in agreement, and you simply broke my sarcasm detector.
> What is the endgame here?

Exactly what Putin's always maintained: that Ukraine joining NATO is a red line, so they're preventing Ukraine joining NATO.

> The risk of NATO intervention is high, right? Russia understood this before invading, right? So it seems Russia is accepting a high risk of loss.

The risk of NATO intervention is exactly zero. NATO hasn't done shit except attack random non-NATO countries (Serbia, Libya, Syria, etc...). What did they do when Turkey invaded Cyprus? Nothing.

US-led NATO is sacrificing Ukraine in order to get at Russia, the real question is why getting at Russia is so important? Ukraine could have joined NATO in the 1990's, or 2008, or NATO could have given them a guarantee of security. But no, instead the EU and NATO rolled out some long road-map and antagonized Russia along the way.

Hell, why didn't the west try to integrate Russia when Gorbachev and Yeltsin were amenable to the idea? Or when Putin was trying to increase cooperation with GWB's US government before the Color Revolutions?

Edit - for those downvoting me, it's obvious the west sold-out Ukraine. They forced Ukraine to leave an economic cooperation union with Russia in order to have more European integration (Yanukovych wanted both FYI) but didn't provide a road-map to join the EU, they sold them on NATO membership but without any actual guarantees, etc... Why isn't the west defending Ukraine?

Edit2 - also Joe Biden is useless. What was the point of all his warnings? What was the point of every western country pledging to "support" Ukraine? Now the news is talking about Biden announcing "sanctions". No real support. What's the point?
The nuances should be exposed in a stylable, implementable and a documented API, with examples and guidelines.

I don't understand why accessibility promoters endlessly bash developers, while the problem is that the edge between visual requirements and proper accessibility is extremely hard to dance, whereas it's mostly a non issue on proper platforms (eg. Cocoa/SwiftUI)
I dont understand how someone in the western world could read history and still believe that doing exactly what they did at the start of WW2 will bring a different result.
Because in a lot of cases, browsers don't expose the necessary APIs to do so. That being said, most component libraries I've seen that implement custom controls (which do expose APIs to allow styling) will make a point of adding all the necessary ARIA attributes to make controls properly accessible.
That's what has been causing more tension than the actual nukes for a while now - effective countermeasures, or ICBM countermeasures. If one party has an effective countermeasure against ICBMs, it takes away MAD and the one holding the countermeasure gets to claim military superiority.

Of course, I don't believe there is such a system, or if there is it's very local; if it comes to nukes, they will come from anywhere (e.g. nuclear submarines) and can end up anywhere. If there was an effective anti-nuke system, we'd see launchers pop up everywhere, or if it's a space based one, see many launches of those to get enough coverage (like starlink).
I liked that the article focuses on the important distinction between democracy and liberal democracy. There are lots of places I find democracy conflated with a "free country". It's limits on government power (regardless of what a majority want) and the ability for the people to kick out the current government that imo are most necessary for a free country. The other details don't really matter if you don't have these.
Disclaimer: I am not a biologist or whatever someone who studies this stuff is called. But from what I've been able to gather, actually having the RNA be in it's own membrane (an "organelle" they're calling it in the article) is not something you'd usually expect in a bacterium. If I remember correctly, they're more "soupy" inside.
Think for a moment about the signal this sends to all the other non-NATO members around the world.
You aren't going to have all your accounts able to use Google, not everyone offers it. So you are going to need to use a password manager in any case. I use Bitwarden and like it, my wife uses it but is only ok about it.

Now, as far as Google vs. Password manager on sites that do support it: Google can be convenient, but there is the infrequent, but apparently very real risk of Google locking your account, and through that also locking these other accounts. I'm not very concerned about that risk personally, but I also would be very reluctant to put important accounts like banks and bills on a Google SSO.

To be clear: I'm not a big "google is evil" guy, but "I'm locked out of google" seems to be a regularly recurring story, but it clearly is low frequency. I do know that when things go wrong, Google is often a black box with little recourse or even any way to contact someone there, especially, I imagine, if your account is locked.

I, personally, almost always use a password manager rather than a Google SSO, just because I have it set up an it's almost as easy as the SSO.
>But... why not style the built-in controls?

As devs we don't decide, we get soem designs, like make a numeric input that looks like in this picture, make a select that can show a different icon for each option()like a language select with flag icons)), or make a font select that each item has it;s own font family.

Then you have stuff that are clasic things in normal GUI toolkits like accordions, tree views, very efficient grid/list views(I mean a widget where you can load 10K items and not have to implement your own smart loading or the lazy pagination way).

I did not done too much mobile but I remember there are some "tabbed/stacked views" , you can put your components in this views and would be efficiently loaded and unloaded when you moved from one view to other making things start faster and use less memory.

Not sure why the browser makers ignore this stuff, did they give up and we just have to use third party libraries for simple things like a good select and a working GridView?
Economically I'd say the oligarchy is so wealthy and diversified in Russia that it doesn't hurt them that much. Russia does have much to gain in this and yeah it could lose some money. It's a shot across the bow for western political alliances. Let's hope it stays that way.

A native date input might be inconsistent between different browsers, or different OSs, but it will be consistent with the native date input on every single other website the user goes to. If they're lucky, it will be consistent with the date input field on every other application on their OS.

The only intuitive interface is the nipple. Everything else is learned. If the user has leaned how to use the native date picker on their browser, they know how to use the date picker on your website.

If you make them learn how to use a new date picker for your website, it's very unlikely they'll thank you for being able to transfer this unique knowledge to that one website of yours on the very unlikely chance they choose to switch browsers. I mean, who does that regularly?

And if the native date picker in their browser doesn't work for them - maybe because aesthetics, maybe because accessibility - they can either pick a different theme for their browser, or pick a different browser. (Or a different OS!) That has the advantage of fixing the native date picker on every single website they go to. Except for the annoying websites which implement their own, where if the custom date picker doesn't work for them, they're fucked.

If someone's using a browser with an date picker you happen to dislike, that's their choice. Let them have it.

That supposes that you have a decent filesystem like ZFS and know how to configure it. I run ZFS and I can't even remember how to add a disk and increase the size of a storage pool without referring to the manual page or do a web search. And I only know where to look because I know I'm running ZFS. (If I'm lucky it is in the filesystem command history - I know people who have used ZFS for years who didn't even know ZFS had a command history).

And what if I unplug the disk and pop it into a different machine? Of if you decide to move to Windows?

I do a fair bit of photography. If it taught me one thing it was that if you design software for managing lots and lots of files that craps out if something spans a filesystem border, you'll have a truly miserable time. Photo editing software used to be like that.

Come on. Would you really have predicted, before a massive two-year pandemic, that it would have a mean-zero random impact on people's well-being? Let's keep ourselves honest here.
>Does anyone have any projections for how this war will go? Is the Ukrainian military powerful? Will this turn into a guerilla war, or will it go the way of total war? Or will it result in total capitulation?

The war was over before it began. The Ukrainian government telling people to take up arms is completely suicidal. War in the 21st century begins and ends with air superiority. Nothing else matters at all. Once air superiority is established, the war is over. And Russia is flying with absolute impunity over all of Ukraine now. The smartest decision is total capitulation at this point. Because Putin will stop at nothing and will not respect any form of ROE. The alternative is Kyiv being reduced to rubble and tens of thousands dead.
They did. Guess what happened? Vetoed by Russia.
Well he did all of that too. He brought up "grievances" going back almost to the 1800s. He denied that Ukraine and other Eastern European countries were real countries. He said that Lenin and Stalin were too soft.

He all but said that controlling these countries was Russia's "Manifest Destiny".
Looking back, lockdowns sucked in the moment. But when I look at it in aggregate, my life improved dramatically. A big part of that was prior to the pandemic I would hit the clubs and bars every weekend. With bars and clubs closed I was forced to do other things, like go outside to nature.

After a while the clubs re-opened but I realized I was no longer drawn to go to. My life on the weekends started to revolve around going outdoors rather than getting smashed. Eventually I made the biggest change and moved to Colorado to persue more outdoors.

If the pandemic never happened I would probably still be living in the city going to bars and clubs. So while there are many negative things about the past two years, for me it ended in a net positive.
Sort of unrelated, but I'm surprised aircraft need that spectrum. I'm not an expert, but my impression was that using lower frequency has lower speeds but longer range and less sensitive to interference. This seems better for the aircraft usecase.

The answer could be just that they were built using this spectrum which at the time seemed fine, and now that we want to use it for something else it's an issue. Curious if anyone knows more.

Kyiv gave up its nuclear weapons in return for security assurances
What you're forgetting here is that there is a clear precedent for what I'm suggesting. People forget this, but in WWI, the British upper classes actually lost children at a higher rate to the war than those in lower classes. This was because, at the time, the British elite would never have been okay with the idea of sending people to die, without having skin in the game themselves. It was a matter of basic morality (and honor).

What you're suggesting is, on the other hand, completely immoral. It's far too easy for us to sit in our comfy homes, earning nice salaries for tapping away on our keyboards all day, while some poor kid from middle America or inner city LA has his life cut tragically short because people like us say, "Oh man, that Ukraine situation is really bad, someone should really do something about that"
There is 0% chance that NATO intervenes military, even without the fact that Putin basically told the world that any country that intervenes will be nuked.

Regarding economic sanctions: yes Russia will suffer from them, but the thing is that it is impossible to know how high Putin values the prospect of dissolving Ukraine into Russia, so it's pointless to try to reason about it (not that I'm saying you shouldn't).

Putin is 70 years old. He might just feel like he hasn't done enough with his life and decides to go all in, who knows?
Ukraine has gas reserves that seem to be mostly untouched because of regional turmoil and therefore a temporary inability to get that gas out of the ground.
If Putin is a rational actor, then what's he following up his tactical nuclear strike with? His conventionally defeated Army?

If he's willing to risk that level of escalation then we're beyond rationality. The world is not going to let Putin dictate international politics of entire continents at the point of a nuclear gun. Even the Chinese wouldn't be on board with that. I'm not sure what the best course would be in such an event, but if Russian forces can be otherwise conventionally defeated nuclear retaliation may not even be necessary.

If nuclear retaliation is deemed necessary, it would likely be of similar magnitude (targeting invading Russian military formations or something). To turn the question around, is Putin willing to launch ICBMs because NATO won't let him take Estonia?

By far the most annoying thing to me (as a user who does not rely on accessibility features) is how few JS-built forms support TABing through the fields, in the correct order. It's infuriating.
You would have said the same thing if someone had written that Putin was going to invade Ukraine two weeks ago.

What is paranoia and what isn't has just materially changed, the question now is not whether or not the poster is paranoid, but whether they are too paranoid or not paranoid enough.
The US/NATO/UN should establish a no-fly zone over the country (well, the UN is out because Russia has permanent veto power).
with the US and Western media loudly proclaiming (since November) that Russia is planning an imminent invasion of the Ukraine, though Russia has repeatedly denied that fact and it's not exactly clear what Russia is waiting for, or what advantage it could expect to derive from lying about its intentions at this point…

welp.

Seems that it absolutely skews negative for the kids who had to deal with more lockdowns, i.e. not going to school with their peers.

I don't see anywhere in the article where they claim it's a normal distribution? OP was just speculating IIUC.

Tips and tricks to make you a GitHub Actions power-user
I am not a molecular biologist or virologist, far from it. I am reading the manner in which people who are those things are responding. Some quite scientifically, and others dogmatically. The one tidbit of information I had heard about the FCS was that the SARS-COV-2 had the exact 12-nucleotide sequence, no more no less, so it was an exact match for an FCS proposed for study that was rejected by the DoD, DARPA, or some other U.S. government agency. I believe this is not the same in the other SARS-COV viruses, at least not exactly 12, but found somewhere along a sequence. Can someone here clarify this for me as a layman? I'd appreciate it. It is fascinating to me, and as a result I just picked up an Introduction to Genomics book by Arthur Lesk. Thank you.
