Ton Roosendaal also knows what he is doing. As he explained at the 2019 Blender conference keynote, the message to corporations is not "how can Blender help you" but "join us in Blender's mission". [1]
This is a misunderstanding of what Watterson was (is!) trying to achieve. He wants Calvin and Hobbes to exist on its own terms. You can call that a "brand identity" if you like, but it is certainly very deliberate on Watterson's part. What he is really trying to avoid is taking away the experience of reading the comic strip by having to make elements of it too concrete: What Calvin's or Hobbes' voices sound like, making the fuzzy line between Calvin's imagination of Hobbes and the real world too clear, etc. This isn't speculation, you can read this in the 10th anniversary Calvin and Hobbes book, which has a lot of great commentary.
As for how he was able to financially justify this, you can read about it in his commencement speech at his alma mater of Kenyon College, which I highly recommend reading in its entirety [1].
> Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it's to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.
It's funny to me that all these years later, Watterson is still seen as some mysterious recluse with obscure motivations, when it couldn't be more clear: Watterson does not want to compromise his artistic vision, and he does not need more money than he already has in order to live a life he is content with. So there is no reason for him to milk Calvin and Hobbes for all it's worth.
'Hello' ' '+ ('world' | 'rulex')
To me it looks like there's a + missing after the second single quote
Are you talking about crop rotation or growing multiple crops in the same field at the same time?
Edit: There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about what I am saying. The headline (as of this writing: "Finland and Sweden set to join Nato as soon as summer") is not true. Lots of people wish it were true. It may even become true in the future. But as of today, it is not true, and I take issue with that.
Finland has another nuclear power plant under construction as well... or at least we did, until the war started, now I don't know what will happen. Rusatom was supposed to supply the reactor for Hanhikivi nuclear power plant, which was also severely delayed.
Russia is also an important supplier of nuclear fuel to Finland.
I also just don't see how any of the ES6 features named in the article negate the need for a framework like React. React et al. are built on the DOM API more than any individual language feature.
All in all this article feels very confused.
