Maybe, it also has symbolic value, and might demoralise the civilian populace, whose support is crucial to the continued state support.
It still seems a weak move as infrastructure should be a more effective target, but who knows how many layers of distractions and attacks of opportunity really happen in the field?
Yes, as the blurb says in the fourth word or so.
Edit: did the math and counted up to the fourth word
It’s always worthwhile to learn new things!
And programming is a tool, so it’s typically made to be clear how to use it, although of course people will differ on what needs to be clarified the most.
My experience is that there’s way too much discussion in what tool to pick, it doesn’t matter that much and almost all of the common languages will allow you to do all the things. And even though some will be better adapted for certain applications, it’s easy to pick up the new tool when relevant, and you’ll be that much ahead by being well versed in one.
As for how to learn, I find that you kind of need to figure out the basic syntax in each language (loops, conditionals, output, memory management, typology, lists, function calling, maybe classes/libraries if you’re fancy), and then start doing projects.
A nice intro for C# is the C# Player’s Guide by R B Whitaker, using some gamification and storytelling to get you through the basics, and even leave you prepared to tackle your first projects (by practicing design philosophy, how to break down projects, etc).
Otherwise, Python is a lot of fun, it’s made to be very easy to jump into, and then it’s fully featured to do anything you’d like it to. Unfortunately all my resources for it are in my local language, but it has many many users so I’m sure there’s great resources to be found in your own language.

I’d agree that there are some variation in the European far right. In contrast to Italy, Spain and Russia: German, French, UK, Nordic far right are not restricting abortion, but are doing most of the rest (northern European ones not as much dismantling welfare/healthcare as making it inaccessible to some, especially immigrants, trans, lgbt, etc).
From a European perspective, the US centre-right are more conservative than the European fringe right. The European far right doesn’t (typically) want to restrict abortion, sabotage education or reinstate child labor for example. And are mostly about increasing and militarizing police, disenfranchising minorities, and different schemes to control that only the right people get to vote.
I’d argue that the US centre right is actually as radical, or even more so than the European fringe right, they are certainly causing about the same commotion, but of course have much more power in the US.
The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time is now.
We’re trying to describe the scarcity of something in units of something becoming less scarce every year. ftfy
What? Most religious dogma is predicated upon free will, meaning we are capable of rearranging things according to our own machinations.
It would be like bacteria in a petri dish reorganising and reproducing, but it’s still creation in a sense separated from the creator.
Remember that every lie has consequences for all negotiations.
That Trump regularly turns on a dime and trashes or backs out of any relationship that doesn’t immediately benefit him persinally, means everything from trade negotiations to maintaining army bases becomes much harder.
And/or more easily manipulated as we saw with Saudis, China, and Russia.
There is no lesser evil when it comes to genocide.
This is obviously untrue. If the option a) is genocide and b) is genocide and also dismantling the methods to protest it, methods to oust the decision makers, dismantling national security in resources and relationships, at the same time as blatantly plundering both the pockets of citizens and communal coffers, there’s very obviously a more evil option.
Equivocation and black-white thinking is comfortable, but there are still shades of brown when the shit has hit the fan.
In the best of worlds you wouldn’t be in this situation, now you are, make the better choice.
Yeah, we got people in droves.
Elephants however are rare and majestic.
To the GOP there are no allies, only chumps and marks.
Not dead, also wounded beyond combat effectiveness.

There’s a lot of propaganda coming all directions, as parties are interested in taking control of the narrative.
There are still a lot of candidate explanations, but tensions in Russia are high enough that the truth might not matter.
Putin has done similar things against Russia, there’s currently an armed insurgency going in Russia with independent groups acting, Russian civil discontent after the fake elections and increasing tolls of war is high and fresh.
Ukraine hasn’t done anything like this previously and has gone to great lengths to minimise civilian casualties, but have also had some rogue plans/actors.
It could be Israel trying to keep eyes off of their conflict, they’ve shown to care little for the lives of non-citizens.
It could be a big brain play by a western state trying to provoke NATO involvement, or clumsily fan unrest.
It could also be unconnected to the war with IS/China/post-soviet states stirring trouble for their own gains.
We don’t know yet, but Russia wants to pin it on Ukraine no matter who did it. Ukraine needs it not to be state affiliated, and so must deny.
I don’t know where you’re at, but around here there are stores with refurbished phones, where you can play with last year’s models, and buy them at low-mid range prices. Sometimes they have 2-3 year old phones at a steal, some of the online ones have generous return policies as well, where you can try it for a bit and then send it back.
I’ve had Samsung androids for over a decade, and they’ve had smoother animation and less loading lag since about iPhone 4 (which I’ve used for work in the same period). They’ve also had comparable feedback on presses.
Then again, the HTC androids I’ve tried occasionally have been real bad, so I get the question.
You shouldn’t have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.
We’re learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.
