Really love the togglable examples. It's often hard to imagine how a change look and while in a perfect world I'd have time to make a mockup to test each version, well, it's hardly a perfect world so examples are appreciated!


the examples are certainly nice but it only takes a second to resize your browser when testing your own site


You don't even need to resize the whole browser window - you can use the responsive design mode of your browser's development tools to resize just the viewport of the website you are working on. And it can even emulate touch interfaces to test the relevant media queries.

And resizing the window is also something native application developers should embrace. Always roll my eyes when some game developer says they can only target 16:9 because they don't have other monitors - just make your window mode resizable and drag the corner.


And apartment building, hospitals and ambulances... I originally would have agreed with you, mind, but it would seem our shared optimism for minimized civilian targets was mistaken.

All of those things have happened. Straight up. And again there's no excuse for it. But it could also be much, much worse, particularly if the Russians decided to actually bomb civilians and target things like water treatment plants, utilities and so forth.


I concur, and to be clear I'm only noting that to counter disinformation that only military targets were hit, not as a criticism of your post.

It seems reasonable Russia wants to keep infrastructure intact, not just for minimizing outrage, but also a county reduced to rubble isn't very useful. Not to mention I doubt the average Russian soldier is terribly keen on doing more than necessary damage as well.


When I saw the apartment building on the news and I saw the fire fighters I immediately asked myself "wait, why are there fire fighters in the middle of a war?"

I started thinking that maybe these buildings were not targeted by the missile, but the missile landed there because it was deflected?

I don't have an idea on how weapons work, but I don't really think that these buildings were the actual targets.

This is clearly not a target. And if you ever had seen the damage from the cruise missile (hint - look at two previous days with tons of footage of Kalibr hitting intended targets) you would clearly see what this is definitely not the amount of damage a proper missile would deliver. More so, given the position and direction there is a pretty high chance what it was an AA missile from the Ukrainian side.

Anyway, it is amusing how when anything happens which involves Russia it is killing intent and war crimes immediately, without even an attempt to reason it with a common sense.

Can't say anything on the second link, though it is very little damage for a cluster munition.


You have in entirely backwords mate.



Older houses also assumed you had a wardrobe, so likely you were on the cusp of that change.


You consider a transportation device "murder"? Interesting, seeing as it also can be used to do the opposite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtvCnZqZnxc


No, I am calling what armies and navies do "murder", as they kill people.


Sometimes 'murder' is justified, like when you're protecting civilians against pirates. That's the main use-case I see here. Nobody in their right mind would send these guys against an armed vessel.


Killing and murdering can be two different things, which is why we have separate words for the actions. You're conflating the two things as though they're always the same.

To kill is not inherently to murder. Typically from a legal and moral perspective killing someone in self-defense is not murder, for example.


Armies don't generally kill in self defence, though.


Collective self defense is still self defense, but it obviously needs to be argued on a case-by-case basis.


Arguing that is something an army doesn't do. It murders when asked to murder.


The US Navy is the largest peace keeping and rescue organization in the world. Just one aircraft carrier is a disaster response super hero, complete with a hospital, food, clean water, and tents.


They also murder people.


Honestly loved the style of Sidonia. I can see why you might not like it, but that's an art style choice more than anything else.


Also concur, XPS 9560 that randomly refuses to start and needed service three times for a defective screen. Entirely unimpressed for the cost and what I thought the brand was.


The enemy of my enemy is my ally. Granted perhaps not a very reliable one, but Russia is one of the few places nearly entirely out of reach of American influence so I'm not surprised they are hosting from there.


Careful assuming introverts don't need socializing. There's a huge difference between just wanting left alone and being stuck home for months on end. I'm not exactly a social butterfly, but deeply miss casual hall conversations or getting coffee.


From reading the blog, he only started getting into rust because of issues with Go, so this seems a pretty unfair criticism here.
