Western officials have previously warned that Russia has stepped up a campaign of targeted killings since President Vladimir Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine,
saying they have disrupted several p…

Support for `headers` Attribute
This post only covers the headers attribute in HTML tables (ARIA has no headers equivalent). My 2022 post Accessible Cart Tables? showed headers attribute support was poor. In my 2023 post Avoid Spanning Table Headers I didn’t use headers because I knew support was poor. For this post I merged…

"The truth is that the British government has placed itself in an exposed position thanks to its increasingly aggressive intervention in the Russia-Ukraine war.
"From the first, it has spared no effort to prolong the war – Boris Johnson stopped partying in Downing Street long enough to fly to Kiev in April 2022 to help block an incipient peace deal."

in recent years i've been forced to walk alone, as the local politicos found my sign (DOWN WITH CARS on one side, UPZONE EVERYTHING on the other) off-key

Pleased to share that my paper, "Practitioners at the Limit: Bereavement, Mockery and Ideology in Response to Crisis" is now available as a preprint on arxiv. https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.30667

Practitioners At The Limit: Bereavement, Mockery and Ideology in Response to Crisis
After decades in which the software industry heroized its technical employees, our current moment finds those employees in crisis. Economically, they are squeezed by a job market that has turned on them since Elon Musk gutted Twitter in 2022. Politically, their craft is continually pressed into the service of an ever tighter alliance between Big Tech and authoritarianism. Professionally, they find themselves less and less able to contribute anything good to anyone within business models that ar…

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 15 nodes and 58 edges.
