"Towards the five richest EU countries" edit

There was a sentence involving a 2007 election plank of the Reform Party in the article Economy of Estonia. I'd written some text and text and gathered enough sources, but ultimately decided to remove the original passage, and not to include the following stuff in the article, as the original passage pushed a non-neutral point of view (NNPOV).

In 2006, Andrus Ansip, then the Prime Minister and a member of the Estonian Reform Party, stated before the Riigikogu in an overview about EU politics an optimistic aspiration, that Estonia could set itself a goal of becoming one of the five richest EU members by GDP per capita.[1]

In a 2007 election campaign for Parliament, the Reform Party made this their election plank, setting the target to 2022.[2][3] To reach such a goal, Estonia's economy would have had to grow at least 8% every year, to which analysts and experts were more cautious (reported in a 2011 E24 article), and did not recommend such growth, as this would precipitate an economic boom and a painful recession.[2]

This became a bone of contention to Reform's political archnemesis, the left-wing and largely pro-Russia Center Party, which quickly rushed for judgement: for years on end, the Centre and its members incessantly belittled both the Reform Party in general and Prime Minister Ansip in particular; resorting to bickering, ad hominem attacks and name-calling ('liars', 'charlatans').[4]

Despite that, then-Prime Minister Ansip has remained optimistic; though in 2012, he adjusted his projection to Estonia reaching the levels of Finland by the target year of 2022.[5]

The longevity of Android versions edit

Approximations based on this image: File:Android historical version distribution - vector.svg

Version From To Length Notes
1.6 Donut 15 September 2009 March–mid-March 2013 3 years, 4 months
2.1 Eclair 12 January 2010 Mid-August 2013 2 years, 8 months 1 mo. via [ |mid-August 2013| + |mid-December 2010| ]
2.2 Froyo 20 May 2010 Feb 2016 5 years, 7–8 months It should be noted, though, that in some rare cases, Froyo-based models were still sold as new in Northern Europe as of 2017.
2.3 Gingerbread 6 December 2010 September 2017 6 years, 9 months From the chart, 9 months: [December 2010 + 8 months of 2017]

So, Gingerbread trudged along nicely into late 2017, well after support to Google Play Services updates ended in 2016. This meant, that Google Play Services continued working, but there were no updates to this component after that year. YouTube app support ended in December 2018. OS-level Google sign-in from Android 2.3.7 or older ended on September 27, 2021.[6]

Conclusion: Gingerbread was more resilient than Froyo. Mostly thanks to more models in the wild, greater processing power, and Firefox.

3.0
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 18 October 2011
4.1 Jelly Bean 9 July 2012 Google Play Services updates to Android Jelly Bean stopped from August 2021. By the time of the announcement on 8 July 2021, the entire 4.1–4.3 branch had a device count below 1%.[7]
4.2 Jelly Bean 13 November 2012
4.3 Jelly Bean 24 July 2013
4.4 KitKat The active device count of Android 4.4 was below 1% as of 25 July 2023. Starting August 2023, Google Play Services would no longer receive updates to Android 4.4 KitKat. Otherwise, the component would continue to work.[8]

Referring to liveblog posts edit

How to refer to each individual post in a liveblog, and the pros and cons of liveblogs in news outlets
 
Screenshot of an element with a link fragment highlighted in Firefox DOM and Style Inspector (of Firefox Developer Tools). The link fragment is #Features, matching the title of the section and article chapter.

::*

  • In advanced liveblogs, each section is anchored, and the anchor is openly linked usually where the section timestamp is. Like this.
In less advanced liveblogs, an anchor can be looked up from the page source code.
  1. In Firefox-based browsers, select the last (body) text of a section and the first (body) text of the next one, and select to view selection source from the context menu.
  2. An alternate and more comfortable option is to use the DOM and style inspector in browser developer tools. I'll use Firefox and derivatives as an example. Developer tools can be opened in several ways:
  • with the F12 key, but this can open the most recently-accessed section of developer tools other than the DOM and style inspector, which one would then have to switch to.
  • using the program's menu. If you can't see the menubar in Firefox, press Alt or F10 keys, move to Tools > Developer > click on Inspector. Or press Ctrl+Shift+C on the keyboard. But these options would open the DOM and Style inspector at the top of page code, away from the liveblog.
  • The most comfortable part is to right-click on the section of a liveblog item for the context menu, and to click the "Inspect element" command. This opens the Style and DOM Inspector, and moves focus in the code view to the element that was right-clicked. Each subelement in the code is indented for better legibility. One can move up the code to find the element with an id="..." or name="...". Hovering over each element in the code highlights said element in the viewport above.
  • Anything in code with an ID="..." (numbered or named) or name="..." above a section containing body text of that (next) section can be accessed by using hyperlink fragments. These are marked with a hash # at the end of a URL in the address bar, or can be added by users: add the # sign, paste the contents inside the name or id parameters (without quotes), and press the Enter key. Test it out first.
Note, that liveblogs often refer to original articles and sources, so these can instead be referenced. The original sources would still be considered as primary. A liveblog of a reputable news outlet is also useful to confirm a tweet or a Facebook / social media post, because reputable news outlets exercise due diligence in confirming sources, and make a dedicated record of statements published via tweet or post on social media.

Timelines edit

Applying gradients to borders edit

A very basic tutorial
Example 1. Some box content.
Example 2 (simpler colour selections). Border width (length) is set to 300px instead of 100%.
Example 3. Blueish: border-image:linear-gradient(to bottom left, #b0c4de 0px, #b0c4de 25px, #ffb466 75px, #f5790f 90px, black 112px, white 112px, white 100%); border-image-slice:1. 45px left with black & white at 113px; 49px left with black & white at 112px;
above: inherited bgcolor rgba semitransparent; white border ending. Here: inherited bgcolor, transparent border ending.

The use is somewhat different. In this example:

  1. Set border-image-width:0px 0px 5px 100%;
    • 5px is the bottom border width (thickness) for Examples 1 and 2;
    • If bottom border length is in pixels, you might want to match it with box width. Otherwise, the pixel number can be arbitrary (as you like it), but to match box width automatically, set it to 100%; it will then rely on width or min-width (max-width, if there is more content).
    • The arbitrary pixel number is interesting, because one can set a lesser length than the actual box length; In this case, the border starts from the left.
  2. Example 1: red 0%, orange 16%, yellow 32%, green 48%, blue 64%, purple 80%, pink 100% — Note that here, the percentage width of each colour gradually increases in increments of 16.
    • Example 2, simple setting: border-image-source:linear-gradient(to left, red 0%, blue 100%); as you would when applying linear-gradient to backgrounds.
  3. Example 3 with yellow and green borders makes it more interesting and more usable, as border-image-slice:1 is used in order to set the border just outside the box, whereas the set box size is 50px. In Examples 1 and 2, the borders would be rendered inside the box, and content positions in that box must be adjusted with paddings. The boxen are set with diagonal gradients to bottom left, and the right-most box has blue 50% in the middle. Tip from here.[1]

Border-bottom

These two examples are not very good, because the right and bottom borders appear to intersect with one another.

The solution to long chemical notations is to introduce <div style="overflow-x:auto"> into each very long field. This ensures that if the notation is longer than the width of the drugbox, its field will have a scrollbar. Another option I've considered is using a forced linebreak &#8203;, but that might break the notation itself.

Experiments with syntaxhighlight edit

The problem with syntaxhighlight tagging is that there is no programming language notation formatting that would best allow for a more visual representation of chemical notation.

SMILES

And then I decided to create a more visual representation in step with programming language indentation:
