Ask HN: Is the Chernobyl Reactor Leaking?
https://www.saveecobot.com/en/radiation-maps#10/51.4557/29.7915/gamma/comp+cams+fire

Radiation levels seem to be on rise and have maxed out sensors in Chernobyl. Can anyone tell whats happening?

> The context here is whether or not they're still happy with it.

In 2018 GitHub got acquired for 7.5 billion dollars. Rails got them to that point and they've been up and running since 2008. I'd say that's a very big success.

Given GitHub's contributions to Rails master and other activity around projects like https://github.com/github/view_component, from the outside it looks like they're still very happy with it. It's hard to say if we'd ever get a real answer on what they think internally, it would be pretty unlikely that their CTO is going to publicly write an official company blog post on "I wish we didn't choose Rails".
Ship has sailed. Working from home has so many benefits it's ridiculous people were forced to go in five days a week.

I do concede that going in once a week is terrific. Those days of face to face spawn the best conversations and brainstorming sessions -- but those days I get zero code work done.

Other parts of the site are on Internet Archive before today, so the entire thing wasn't just created today. But the "radiation map" itself seems to be new. The difficulty in finding any solid info about this site and their sources, some weird things about the radiation distribution they're claiming, the total lack of followers on social media, and the fact that there are no other sources claiming a detected increase in radiation yet makes this entire thing super suspect.

list_for_each_entry just does blind string substitution. std::for_each is the basic same thing except with type safety & variable scope safety instead. It's still just substitutions.

All your other stuff about for_each is just... Wrong? It's all well defined what it does. The substitutions that for_each makes and exactly what it calls are all defined.

You could give it a container that does something stupid, but you could also give list_for_each_entry the wrong field or accidentally use it when it's no longer valid (literally the bug being fixed)

All this sounds cool, but just because the fuel is abundant and the reaction somewhat free of emissions, that doesn't mean it is economical.

Fission is simpler and mature, and even though the fuel is not as abundant, it is still plenty enough to power humanity for innumerable thousands of years.

Despite all of those things, nuclear fission is not financially viable. Building new capacity with other technologies is simply cheaper. Solar and natural gas, for instance.

Nuclear plants are shutting down all over. But the reason is primarily financial. It is no longer viable.

Even if someone figures out how to generate power via fusion, the actual relevant question is how to commercialize it.

Fusion would have plenty of uses for scientific research and powering spacecraft. But I have yet to see a compelling reason to believe it will be financially viable.

Solar is 2 cents per kWh. Fission is 19 cents per kWh.

It isn't the price of fuel that makes regular fission non-viable. It is everything else. The labor, the maintenance, the fixed costs, regulatory compliance, waste disposal, etc.

Add onto this that it takes many years to commission a plant, and yet incremental improvement in existing technologies like solar will be relentlessly occurring that whole time. Even if the plant seems viable at conception, it may be obsolete by the time it is turned on.
So… typescript?
I don't mean to pick on you in particular, but the popular narrative pretty severely misunderstands what was so controversial about pre-WWII appeasement. The problem isn't that Chamberlain tried to avoid going to war or applied insufficient sanctions to prevent Hitler from conquering the Sudetenland - he approved of it, personally flying to Germany to give him permission, and then talking afterwards about how Hitler's a peace loving guy who'll never invade anyone again. He didn't even wait for Hitler declare the war first! It's very dissimilar to the current scenario, where everyone involved agrees that Putin isn't peace loving and has no legitimate grievances.

More flippantly, I think there are some serious questions to ask yourself if you find yourself staking out a more pro-war position than architects of the Iraq War, none of whom think NATO should send in troops here.

How does this cause pain in rails specifically? Any 3 tier architecture is going to have the same headaches.
I'm on a 2019 16" MBP 2.6GHz i7 with a 5300M. This machine isn't a powerhouse, but it can drive 1080p240Hz + 1440p144Hz buttery smooth for a million Firefox tabs and a couple IntelliJ projects (if everything's all indexed...). On this site, I get like 10fps while doing things, clicking, moving around, etc. It doesn't even look like motion. I threw it into Firefox's profiler and it has consistent "janks" between 100ms to over 200ms. No thanks.
Number inputs have given me the most pain. The trick is that you need to manage two states: the current string state of the input and the most recent valid number state or null or NaN or whatever you want.

The issue being that there’s many valid numbers that aren’t always parsable numbers as a human types them in (because of decimal or negative, etc.)
> and this is by design, web as a platform is pretty much owned by tech giants like google and apple who have a financial interest in keeping the web from becoming a rich platform which would cut into their app store hegemony.

Google is guilty of plenty of things, but holding back the web as a first rate development platform is not one of them, and I think the blame falls squarely on Apple's shoulders here.

Just look at what you can do with a PWA on Android. Most importantly, unlike on iOS, you can receive push notifications. But you can also do things like ship a PWA directly to the Play Store, access all sorts of native browser libraries like Bluetooth support and Add to Home Screen.

If you look at non-gaming apps, I'd estimate about 90% of them could be straightforwardly implemented as PWAs. The reason they're not is due to deliberate decisions by Apple not to support the tech that would make that possible, like push notifications.
Aren't there also second-strike weapons, like nuclear submarines? As hesitant as soldiers might be to press the launch button just in response to a radar signal, they might find the conviction when they learn their hometown is gone.
I've posted this in a few threads right now:

That site is suspect. The "radiation map" page did not seem to exist before today: https://web.archive.org/web/20220224230609/https://www.savee...

It smells of a misinformation campaign to me. If there was a spike of radiation at Chernobyl, I'm sure we would very quickly hear about it from more reputable sources.
>Regular Ukrainian troops are not fighting

This is very false, there have been forces deserting, but not in any significant numbers.

While in the morning, attack was sudden and situation looked very bleak for Ukraine, towards the evening, army has been more or less mobilized and started to take back territory.

Unfortunately, the worst is to come.

> I understand the desire to have a cake and eat it but the job was to show up and put in the time. To go back and argue that showing up is now a WLB violation for previously existing jobs is just not defensible.

Based on your reply, I don't think you truly understand the situation. The work arrangement is always negotiable, and demanding remote when it's proven it can be done at a reasonable productively level is entirely reasonable from an employee perspective. One does not need to put up with unreasonable employer demands in the current job market, and showing up on site five days a week is arguably unreasonable. The job expectations are to deliver results, not warm a chair with colleagues. Of course, if your job performance was based on warming the chair versus delivering, of course, measure that instead of results.

If you want to work on site, wonderful, go for it. That does not appear to be the direction the market is going based on available data.

> Working from home is a relatively new experience for a majority of workers with jobs that can be done remotely – 57% say they rarely or never worked from home prior to the coronavirus outbreak. For those who have made the switch to telework, their work lives have changed in some significant ways. On the plus side, most (64%) of those who are now working from home at least some of the time but rarely or never did before the pandemic say it’s easier now for them to balance work with their personal life. And many (44%) say working from home has made it easier for them to get their work done and meet deadlines, while very few (10%) say it’s been harder to do this. At the same time, 60% say they feel less connected to their co-workers now. Most (72%) say working from home hasn’t affected their ability to advance in their job.

Among those who are currently working from home all or most of the time, 78% say they’d like to continue to do so after the pandemic, up from 64% in 2020.

> Large Rails projects are difficult to work in because of that abstraction. It can be hard to even figure out what code is running let alone identifying bugs there.

I read this a lot, but I have never experienced it, even on projects that I have joined after they were already huge.

Rails conventions are pretty reliable. Most Rails developers choose predictable patterns that resemble the framework conventions. Obviously people coming from other frameworks will often build things differently (sometimes fighting Rails to do so), but a few minutes in the REPL makes everything clear.
Not much? Nothing? I think Putin talks about NATO to mislead people, and although the logic is a bit dumb, unfortunately some people believe him
While the information in there is good, a bunch of the settings are now redundant¹. The ones that jumped out to me were esckeys, ruler and showcmd.

Not that I'm saying you can't — or shouldn't — re-set options, just that the linked documentation is a little dated. FWIW, I personally re-set a couple of default options mostly so that I have a point of reference for how an option works when I'm digging about in my config.

I'm of the opinion that the combination of recent vim and Tim Pope's sensible.vim² is The Minimal Setup™.

I'd put the blame on designers, since the "modern design" that you are referring to is terrible. We'd all be better off if the web still looked like 2004, and the users would be fine with it too - they only care about "modern design" as a proxy for "this is an actively maintained product".

Yeah I forgot about that. I think that if I can't get my current setup to work I'll buy one, thanks for the advice. I didn't think of buying an RTSP camera because I thought these
cameras were made for local networks only given that it's the standard protocol for security cameras (I didn't know what RTSP was until I actually started working on this)

> GStreamer is pretty neat for this sort of stuff. More flexible than FFMpeg for this sort of use case.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll read their docs

> I also don't understand the "ffmpeg finishes .. mid-transmission" part .. are you getting chopped images in your video stream?

It's just that when I execute ffmpeg on my terminal in parallel with receiving + writing the image files to a folder, the ffmpeg process finishes (instead of continuing indefinitely as long as I'm receiving files) because it goes faster than the actual rate at which files are coming. I found that the -re flag tells ffmpeg to process files at the same frame rate of video - which is exactly what I'd need, since that would ensure it would go on as long as I had images coming - but since I'm processing JPEGs I don't have a constant frame rate, so that's what I'm trying to figure out right now in order to make it work.

Check OP's comment history. Their post from two days ago seems to answer that and was a very enlightening perspective.
I think the big picture is that all working arrangements, including blended arrangements, create winners and losers. This was true before the COVID, it will be true after.

I have a hunch that there might have been a trend towards remote work even before the COVID, but it was happening gradually under the radar, people had a choice based on their choice of job, and could arrange their lifestyles and workstyles (making up a term) to be more or less compatible. Of course companies that paid more, could also demand more of their workers, including inconveniences of commuting and office life.

I think the deal with the pandemic was how sudden it was. My work group agreed to clear out of the office, and we were gone that day. Managers didn't know what hit them, and had to re-imagine their own jobs.

It strikes me that we are still coming out of the phase where the situation was forced on us, but we haven't figured out long term who the winners and losers are going to be in the future. It will be interesting to watch certain people: The ones who are strongly motivated to advance their own careers, and see what workstyles they choose for themselves.
You're right, that is a horrible thing to force employees to do. To manage their entire lives and where they lived for their employer. Glad we're seeing an end to this.

They seem to be referring to just the hydraulic motor themselves. You would need at combustion engine to create the 129hp x 4 = 516hp and thats not even considering pumping losses in the hydraulic drive which looks to be significant (20-50%) so now you need a 700+hp engine.

Sure gasoline is more energy dense than batteries, but you need an engine (which is maybe 30% efficient), hydraulic pump, hydraulic lines and fluid and then the motors all adding weight and losses. Batteries just need a solid state speed control, wires and electric motors which are all above 90% efficient and lighter especially if high voltage.

I just don't see this working, trains had hydraulic drives as an alternative to the diesel electric drivetrains used today and electric won out for many reason including efficiency and ease of precise control.

Batteries are improving so quickly in both cost and energy density it will be the obvious choice going forward although they aren't quite there yet for useful aviation work IMO, however hydraulic drive is not an viable alternative based on my understanding.

Let's say you wanted to do that but also stay in the C family. It's going to be a lot easier to take C++ and just ban all the stuff you don't like (such as via lint rules) than to make a new language. In the former case you continue to benefit from all the ecosystem compiler & tooling improvements (ide support, static analysis, etc...). In the latter case you're on your own. Which is no small burden here.

I'm not necessarily advocating that Linux should switch to C++, just that there's probably not a good reason to invest in a new C/C++ hybrid language at this point in time. Not when C++11 is honestly pretty good, but also Rust, Zig, or even D's betterC all already exist.
You are assuming that they won’t stay.
