Looking at examples, I can't see where's improvement tbh. Both classical regex, and this new kid equally require training to read because they are both terse. Adding whitespaces, and comments doesn't bring novelty - using your PL of choice syntax you can already split regex in smaller chunks for readability.

Christianization no doubt clashed with shamanism, and diminished its practices. Also made some of the Saami dialects written languages, and brought temperance - both hugely positive for cultural survival.

"Divide and conquer" means something different though

For example, in a bunch of countries I have lived there's some sort of judicial enforcement service which can find your accounts, and issue an order to banks to transfer right amount from them, or seize your car if there are nothing there. Dammit, even administrative arrest is not as stupid as half a million as a way to make him clean his yard.

Not sure how it comes from my comment. There are plenty of ways to enforce fines without first going higher than orbit

Frankly, I don't see how it justifies the sum. The guy can be a stubborn fool, and $573000 is still a crazy amount

I'm somewhat puzzled by the "lower mortality risk" used without time constraints. Don't we all have 100% mortality risk?

And what makes you think so? Ukraine is neither a rich country, nor a militaristic regime, it doesn't have enough top-notch equipment. Also, the idea that someone fights "for military" is just plain stupid, sorry

Talking about the page behind the link - it's not like Sistine chapel, of course, but it's completely ok. In digital realm your perception is very strongly affected by medium/device/environment. Maybe that's the case. Not commenting about hyperspec though

It's really hard to get an objective view of a lang asking for a random thought :-) C# has a decent number of fans acquired because of Intellisense mostly, there's also not an insignificant amount of people who find it "meh" (boring, Microsoft etc.) If you are asking to evaluate it as an investment - it seems to be a pretty solid choice, though employability of a C# dev differs between locations. If it's just for fun/pet project, then it's better just to give it a try.

At beginning of the war Russia had more equipment, and materiel on every row: much more tanks, and armored vehicles, overwhelmingly more planes, vast amount of rockets vs close to zero in UA army. Also, "supported materially by NATO" is a misleading statement unless narrowed down to more specific areas. At that moment most analytics in the West expected Russia to win quickly, and few people were willing to vouch for sending substantial military aid after the debacle in Afghanistan. Javelins, NLAWs (from US, and UK, not NATO), but other stuff was mostly non-lethal, and frankly almost symbolic. It took quite some time before it became obvious that Ukrainian army fights effectively, and Ukraine is absolutely not in mood to surrender, when other NATO countries started to promise weapons. But even now many of these promises are yet to be fulfilled. Meanwhile after failing in wider campaign, Russia concentrated forces in smaller theater, and in Donbass they have now reportedly 10-15x advantage in artillery firepower.

Note, btw that most of the territory Russians managed to capture is in the Ukraine's south which is grassy plains - arguably very hard to protect while enemy dominates in the air, no matter how much personnel you have.

"Lighter on system resources" contradicts to my experience: at least on js-heavy websites FF made my laptop notably hotter than Chrome, so on CPU side it didn't feel light at all

It's not so new, but its MS, and the thing didn't look like a popular one, so chances for it to be abandoned are very high, I suppose.

It's oversimplification which can only lead you to the foggy world of conspiracy theories. Modern society is complex, and full of conflicting interests, and that's why two evil dictators may have different kind of favors from US, or whatever country. There's for example a significant voting block which supports sanctioning Cuba, and absolute majority of them are not billionaires. Taking Venezuela case: as potential Russian win would send an encouraging signal to other expansionist regimes, including some who are absolutely willing to be US enemies, and big enough to make troubles, it's becoming more important to deal with bigger problem (compared to Venezuelan regime). There's an obvious solution to these ugly choice of whom of all bad guys to pay more for oil: let domestic extraction industry to increase development. But it happened so that a significant voting block supports diminishing of domestic extraction, and the ruling party doesn't want to annoy them as they have enough troubles without it. So suddenly its not only a game of capitals, but also of ideologies, family roots, voting strategies, and a lot of other elements. Some people say that is how democracy works in every big society. Also, on a side note: Netanyahu may be good, or not, but he is most definitely not a dictator.

Can't say anything particularly critical towards the offer, but, dammit, copywriting is so ridiculous here: "multi-task like a pro with ... pro", or "run multiple apps in parallel" - wow, what a novelty. Could they save some time, and efforts, and just enumerate specs? Targeting for devs you probably will do better with less empty words

I have a question: how do you cope with on-screen keyboard, when screen is small? I'd like to have a phone which doesn't take too much space in a pocket, but I found that below 5.5" I have too much struggle typing. Should we ask for a physical kbd (say N900 style) if we want a new phone anyway?
