It seems plausible that Russia responds to "reciprocity by force". The controversial thing here is rather the implication that Ukraine strikes the targets it is "allowed to". The crew of the Moskva might disagree. I take from this that Ukraine has done the calculations and we are seeing the results.

For those interested in the thinking part rather than the programming part of OOP, I found this to be a nice little book.

As a some time professional Java programmer, it took me a while to understand this properly, but it's true. OOP is for managing delegation problems, via abstraction, hierarchy, information encapsulation and structured communication.

The key thing to remember about OOP is that is a bureacracy design toolkit disguised as a programming paradigm, so if you don't need classic institutional/firm structure to solve your problem you probably don't want OOP in your code.

This seems right *for the class of problems for which you'd usually want full-on OOP in R*, viz. when you're wrapping somebody else's pile of OOP, for example their C++ or Java library or GUI.

...for R.
But surely that.

Pretty bold of them trying this on here, the home of the otherwise sane and sensible US poster who it turns out will casually drop absolutely deranged stuff about the UK they wouldn't dream of saying about anywhere else.

Corollary: if you can get a better final grade by doing better work or by arguing the assigned grade up, then these will covary negatively among those with the same final grade. Collider bias at work!

Good stuff. Selfishly, I strongly approve of the idea of expanding cosplay from sci-fi and manga to characters I have heard of.

It's an important point, easily but often mistakenly glossed as "consider who your audience is and what they want".

It'd be a great old-school medical case study that offers nothing of general use but does establish that several interesting things can occur together - because they did.
Call it "The Sippings of Patient J.F." in honour of Oswald Tschirtner, an illustrious instance of the form.

Nice. A clear null hypothesis acceptance in the wild.
