Your view of how government work or sources of resources and power in the country and dynamics between the two is not something i can agree with.

In any case there is nothing state can do to please you: censoring specific types from accessing media is bad (and rest assured you would never know if they are ultra-right, libertarians or whoever they are from western media), allowing them is endorsing.

> There is no independent ultra-right it's just another face of the same ruling group.

Cant agree. Also this is a slippery slope that could apply to western countries as well and we dont want to go there.

> The "crazy" talk about Ukraine that started even prior to 2004 by "ultra-right" leaders was just 1st phase of prep.

Again, Ukraine problematic is objective. Alaska and NK is not. Not from todays Russia perspective, not from population perspective, not even from historical perspective. You didnt need ultra-right to talk about Ukraine and many legitimate politicians spoke about that for a long time. If anything moving towards Iran and eating up Caucasus nations is making much more sense than messing with NK, Baltics, Sweden or whoever else is trying to justify their actions using Russia as a threat.

I dont watch news much. But that doesn't stops me from getting Ukraine from all sorts of angles for a long time (you have to justify Crimea).

I dont get much about NK from anyone but some ultra-right aligned personalities (but i am also getting stuff about Alaska from them, so there is that).

Re:Sweden brings back military conscription on Thursday March 02, 2017 @12:12PM (#13775851)
Well, Russian economy is still in recession. And Russian forces tecchnically never fired a gun in Ukraine or Crimea.
Re:Sweden brings back military conscription on Thursday March 02, 2017 @12:08PM (#13775815)
Russia is also considers itself (for a quite some hundreds of years) a successor to Byzantine Empire. That does not mean that they want, would or should take any land in that direction.

Ukraine is special not because Kiev has to be in Russia, but because a lot of the current Ukrainian land was for, again, some hundreds years Russian and have almost no sovereign history. That makes it easy to play by all sorts of powers and Government is really not the main one there. Just look at Alaska it never gets same attention. Or North Kazakhstan. Same would be with Ukraine in coming 50-100 years if they would be able to hold the country together.

Again, why take Lithuania to Finland? Whats the purpose?

You cant just occupy country w/o sanctions, export/import chains breaking, you need to rebuild what would be inevitably destroyed during the invasion, etc.
Re:Sweden brings back military conscription on Thursday March 02, 2017 @11:46AM (#13775539)
Admitedly i dont consume much western media, but i fail to see how this is the case with Syria, Lybia and what have you. Again, if this is not stopping them, why this should worry Russia.
Re:Sweden brings back military conscription on Thursday March 02, 2017 @11:35AM (#13775419)
Whats wrong with RT in general (besides funding) and this article in particular?

> It would be nice for Russia to have a swath from Crimea to Dontesk up through Latvia, just look at a map.

Why take this land? It does nothing strategically, has population that you need to subsidise, etc. Crimea allows Black Sea control. Kaliningrad effectively makes Baltic inner sea for Russia and if there ever would be any baltic action you would see that, not many (if any) ships would be able to enter.

Ironically Western counties are very good at it.

Russia has nothing to gain in baltic that it doesnt have with Kaliningrad. Same goes for Ukraine w/o Crimea.

> I'm using feature X. Feature X was introduced in version X.Y. Therefore I can't use any version less than X.Y.

But it would work the same way with monotonically increasing version. no?

> When you fix a bug you increment the patch version

I am just trying to understand how semver applies to REST in your case. Never seen anything but single number versioning for endpoints.

This i care about.

Not sure why i should care about these tho.

> essentially breaking existing integration

Not sure why you need 3 numbers to express that. Am i right in that your consumers dont get bugfixes by default because api patch version is changing? How is this working irl?

> suggestion of using a date is useless

Dates are just easier to scan by humans that just monotonically increasing numbers.

> If some-library's developer doesn't care about compatibility, then it doesn't matter what versioning scheme you use as you will have to whip up that secret sauce anyways.

It does. Semver implies semantics arbitrary versioning is not.

Writing documentation and tests would be a better way to address the pain point.

Shipped several apps with flexbox layouts. If you use autoprefixer and dont touch advanced features it works like a charm on modern browsers.
Re:Ember Fastboot on Tuesday March 29, 2016 @06:41PM (#11385555)
Ember has default model() hook for routes, and propose to add extra data fetching you need in children components into afterModel hook.

Everything is working just like you would set it up with React, except that with Ember declaring data dependencies on route is existing convention. And React gives you maybe a little bit more control around that.

Re:Ember Fastboot on Tuesday March 29, 2016 @06:03PM (#11385290)
Hi, Tom!

> do it concurrently

Does ember renders concurrently?

> There is a huge gulf between "synchronously render a component in Node" and "asynchronously boot an app, marshall async data, render an async UI, and do it concurrently."

I dont think it is fair to say it that way. React implementation doing all this (except async/streaming rendering) is man-week at worst in existing medium sized project, and man-day for a new project with no pre-existing code.

Not to follow along with propaganda, but how much of an independent history Ukraine have in these new borders in last 1000 years? Specifically around Crimea and so called People's Republics.

Any multiplayer game when you cant buy anything that helps you win, yet receive constant free gameplay content built with moneys of those who want to buy cosmetics, i.e. league of legends, team fortress and the like.
Chances are React would be better supported long-term. React Native could be a selling point for a lot of people too.
It is our fault if Angular was not a best tool for a job at the time, otherwise we should be happy that we have better tools coming to help us doing our job.
It is, but i dunno why every other new framework pushes that, when you can do this in react with some conventions and 30 lines of node code. AFAIK ember fastboot gonna use jsdom and they are planning to release something for a long time, may be it is focus thing, or just too painful to do that using naive jsdom rendering.
