“Storm Shadow’s 155-mile range more than triples the reach of the longest-range weapon provided thus far from the US as part of the HIMARS rocket artillery system. It plugs a clear gap in Ukraine’s capability for the kind of strike weapon that would enable Ukrainian forces to hit Russian command posts deep inside Crimea.”

It's truly astonishing how much time and effort has been wasted because someone at Facebook decided that understanding how browsers work was too hard.

So, #TypeScript is (mostly) a superset of #JavaScript. As a developer, I love it. But browsers don't speak it natively so you have to have a "transpilation" step before things will work in browsers.
But, why? There are tools like SWC that just parse TS and spit out JS without doing type validation. And it's super fast.
It would be awesome if browsers would just take that approach and let you use .ts files like .js files.

Emily Litella moment: the video actually said Pokemon SPIN-OFFS. But that's also very false considering that there's Pokemon Go, Unite, Cafe Remix, the Switch version of Snap, and Legends Arceus, and I think some kind of mobile gacha thing
I'm not sure there's ever been a bigger glut

Instead, indies are putting out a shitload of poke-clones for the audience that has been making and playing their own pokemon fan games all along. They tend to skew adult, but not necessarily edgy. They're sometimes inspired by specific eras of the franchise: Monster Crown consciously imitates gen 2 GBC graphics. Cassette Beasts is centered around a medium that 6 year olds won't have any point of reference for.
Mastodon Feedrmrenner ("The Old Gay Gristle Fest") wrote:
Saw a youtube video that was like "why pokemon clones are going extinct" which is funny because precisely the opposite is happening. It's just that novel pokemon clones from major companies aren't really happening anymore, but that was more or less the case after the GBA era ended. Major companies are no longer chasing a trend set by the late 90s one-two punch of pokemon gen 1 & tamagocchi. They're not coming up with new monster catching games released in paired versions.

from latest ISW assessment:
“State Duma Parliamentarian Viktor Sobolev warned that mobilized servicemen who decide to join the ranks of Wagner private military company (PMC) will face 10 to 15 years in prison because Wagner is an illegal armed formation within Russia. It is unclear if Sobolev’s comments were made in response to the allegations, since Sobolev is an avid critic of Prigozhin and the Wagner forces.”
