See the abstentians. Almost all western countries at a fast glance. I don't have the time to dig into the resolution, but it seems as something russian targeted at something ukrainian that was wrapped in enough sugar to seem generic.
I’ve heard people talking about reStructuredText as having ugly link syntax before, and I’m curious what specifically it is that you’re finding ugly. Are you talking about inline links, `link text <href>`_? In that, certainly I think the underscore was a mistake, though I’d say it’s good apart from that (angle brackets are good for URL delimition matching a long-standing historical convention as well as not using valid URL characters; parentheses as in Markdown are fundamentally particularly bad because parentheses are valid URL characters, so you can’t just drop a valid URL in willy-nilly). Or is it the reference style, with text_ or `link text`_ followed by .. _text: href or .. _link text: href? The reference definition is definitely… syntactically idiosyncratic, even if it’s quite consistent through the language.
I think I read an assessment that mobilization of the population would yield 900.000 fighters.
That didn’t happen with Bush, who conjured up a premise with multiple lies in order to justify going to war. And then 3 years later, he got re-elected.
“A complete demilitarization and a commitment not to join EU/NATO“

For the common man and woman in Ukraine this is the best scenario for a quick exit from this senseless war. Too bad politicians (and armchair geopoliticians) do not see it.
Are you so sure you're not yourself trapped in an irrational thinking loop?

Global warming is not a civilization-ending threat. Even nuclear war is not a civilization-ending threat, outside a few places in the Northern hemisphere. I could be wrong about both of these claims. But you could be as well, and you're taking an extremely pessimistic view based on what you know, which is not the whole picture.
To me, chess is primarily an individual game, and I was mildly surprised that so many here think about it as a country thing. Magnus Carlsen the individual, not Norway, is best in the world. Norway is just one mildly interesting data point about him. In my mind.

In the Olympics -- yes then I understand, then it's one player per country. So disallow, then. But there's so many other chess competitions.

Comparing with ice hockey doesn't make sense to me.
Also consider his insistence that his inauguration crowd was larger than Obama's, when the photos clearly showed that wasn't the case. It's a completely meaningless lie. He doesn't accomplish anything if people were to accept it as truth, and it was quite obviously at odd with reality, and yet he just kept going on about it.

That's not a strategic lie, that's a pathological lie. That's someone who simply cannot tell the truth.
I share your feelings but I also find it “convenient” that we are all reminded of the dangers of nuclear power by a seller of gas and petroleum. Call me cynical…
This. There are a few great and lots of ok engineers. But when it comes to managers, the scale is reverse. there are a lot of bad mangers and a few ok ones. yet to meet a great manager personally. May be its because the managers skill set is hard to measure?

Nvidia's 30 series GPU launch has been a mess. It has been over a year now and gamers still can't get their hands on the cards. Since they can't seem to make nearly enough of them, they have tried to stabilize demand by cutting miners out of the market.
Ukrainians themself are passionate about not surrendering and the message has been the same from their government, too. This war of attrition cannot possibly benefit Ukraine. I hope the diplomats from both sides of the table reach a comprise, soon, at least before Kyiv turns into Baghdad.
Not sure if hackers understand that NVIDIA is not necessarily the only victim if they leak the hardware.

That sounds really rough, I used to listen to my music very loudly when I was young and getting tinnitus is one of my fears as I get older.

How did you get tinnitus? Is the loud music thing a myth?

Is yours at least not getting progressively worse?

I was writing comment explaining how we can use new browser API's to get rid of SPA for 30 minutes.

Accidentally pressed F5 and all my message text disappeared in void. The same way it happened 15 years ago, same now, browsers not improved.

That's why we do SPA, we want reusable text input component out of box which automatically saves user generated content in forms on typing.
Your link supports the comment you are replying to; it says that after the reactor is shutdown, additional cooling is needed for some time, and that eg the Fukushima and Three Mile Island incidents both involved damage done by an inability to cool the reactors after they were already shut down.
Definitely a strong case for term limits. If Putin had left after 8 years, he would now be considered a great president. He wasn't perfect, but he stabilised the Russian economy after the bankruptcy of the 1990s.

He could have left a great legacy, but his addiction to power has become his ruin. And quite possibly that of Ukraine and Russia.
I think the gp was referring to the filter in your own brain, that was set up by watching western media.

The idea that you are somehow immune to this is unsustainable - I'm sure avid Putin fans feel the same, after all they have access to Google too.

It's just that we are privileged to live in a relatively free societies, where bias is self imposed groupthink as opposed to mandated by the government.

For an extreme version of this in action, you can see the early reporting in the American media of the Iraq invasion.
No nukes means not a nuclear state.

The former nukes belonged to the USSR and only they had the codes to arm them.
There is a huge Russian-speaking community in Ukraine. Most non-regional IT communities in Telegram have lots of Ukrainian people, many relocated back and forth between two countries in the past.

Long story short: this post has no aim to focus on helping only Russians, if you have resources to support any kind of IT relocation regardless of nationality, please step forward.

Good to hear! (Jokes)

I also have tinnitus, mostly in one ear. It's difficult to have a conversation in a noisy place. My partner's voice frequency seems to resonate with the tinnitus ringing, so it's difficult to hear her sometimes!! I've had it for years but five years ago the ringing wound me up so much I went to the doctor. They did various scans but couldn't find any discernable cause. The doctor suggested I just try and live with it. Not really what I wanted but with no other options I took his advice.

I put in a fair bit of effort to try and cope with it and actually, now, most of the time I don't realise it's there. Only when 1) Someone is talking to me in a busy pub or restaurant or, 2) watching the TV on low volume in the evening, do I really notice it.

Getting to sleep used to be a nightmare but I genuinely don't have any problems now.

My advice would be to chillout and forget it's even there, and when you do notice it, just accept it and carry on. It could always be worse. Good luck to all tinnitonians.
One million Ukrainians have already fled the country. They are now in a foreign country, they know nobody and everything they own is in one backpack. If this war goes on the odds are that they will never see their home again. Does their vote on the war count too?

I'm sure nobody would argue against that in principle, but the reality in most countries is that society is willing to pay for 1 to 1.5 FTE per 30 children. And even with such numbers, education is typically already one of the top public expenditures. How much child observation and taylored (vs mass manufactured) education can be done within these constraints?
If nuclear weapons are used it is doomsday. There are no qualifiers. The idea of getting away with a "tactical" nuke is fantasy. Our response would be total and immediate. There's no time to hesitate or wait for the effects.

If "tactical" nukes are a thing why hasn't anyone used them since 1945? Seems like they could have been handy in Syria or Afghanistan. There's no shortage of examples of nuclear powers going to war with non-nuclear non-NATO countries in the last 77 years. None of them involved nukes in any capacity.
That was by far the most disappointing US election. Electing a bad president is clearly a risk of democracy, but re-electing a bad president, that's incomprehensible. And yet that was the only presidential election in decades where the Republican candidate got the majority of the votes.
Barry Bonds and Michael Jordan were not in the union, and they are considered the very best (or top three) in their sport, respectively.
The example of the second Iraq war (2003) shows that democracies do launch invasions of other countries.

Now, I think a democracy would think twice before starting a war where it can be foreseen that effects would be very negative to their own people if only because of the risk of being voted out.

In every HN comment section about superior alternatives to C, or about C's pitfalls, you'll reliably find 2-3 staunch defenders of C's supposed simplicity, wielding arguments that ultimately boil down to "you're using it wrong".
nice thread (this account is good to follow) disproving Ukrainiang propaganda, Western media saying Russians attacked nuclear power plant and put it on fire, while Russians entered without any shooting and then were shot at by Ukrainians causing fire in administrative building, so much for relying on Western media making money on causing panic and spreading misinformation

There are lots of smart and experienced IT guys who is not supporting this war, and government in general. Many of them participated in protests and tried to stop it, but it failed.
And now it is dangerous to stay here ((

P.S.
I do agree - Ukrainians in even more need.

Supporting them with just a work outside of Russia - will help a lot.
It's not impossible, though. Russia seems to have pressed a lot of civilians into service. Ukraine recently captured an entire squad of school teachers.
> We don’t really know what Russias strategy is here. They could be hitting the north near Kyiv as a primary distraction to build a land bridge to Crimea and hold on to the east.

I agree, this whole belief that they are fixing history (from a russian perspective) and forcing Ukraine to be Russian again seems to be a bit of a pretext.

They have huge reserves of Oil and Gas in Crimea, this would have guaranteed many more years of Gazprom cash cow for Russia. The problem is Crimea does not have it's own water supply it depends on mainland Ukraine, this is why I think they first focused on securing Cherson and Marioepol.

This is probably the part they want to keep after negotiations, they just miscalculated expecting that the international response would have a been a shoulder shrug similar to South Ossetia in the Georgian war of 2008.
Full disclosure - I'm the author of the open-source OpenFaaS project, and wrote this blog post.

The aim is to show existing openfaas users how to use React, and to show how users deploying React to a CDN can use functions for dynamic data through a CORS policy.

A lot of union businesses also benefit from regulatory capture and have the inside track on government contracts as their main source of income. There's no effective competition for these types of industries.
i wonder how putin got there.
> And for that one, exceptions as they are today are often faster than the equivalent error-code-based code: https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2017/01/measuring-execution-...

The example on that blog post is not representative of how error codes are used.

On all programming languages, C included, but also Rust, functions return a completion value that's either success, or error (and when its error, it includes which error it is, and the error state, etc.).

int foo();
switch (foo())
case 0: break; // success
case 1: /* error case 1 */
case 2: /* error case 2 */
...

Instead, the blog post has the function return some value in registers that is not an error, and passes the function an ErrorState* as an argument, that the function first sets via memory, and then the handler reads, also via memory.

That this is slow is not rocket science, which is why nobody does this.

I get why the author has to do it. If they were to do it right, error codes would perform significantly better than exceptions. Since returning the error or success is "free" (the function has to return anyways, and up to 2 registers are reserved by the ABI anyways).

Somebody mentions this in the comments, were as far as fixing it and sending a PR (https://github.com/jpakkane/excspeed/pull/1) but the author complains that this is not how GLib does error codes, so they don't care.

So yeah, if you do C error codes like GLib does, which is essentially a poor man's emulation of exceptions, then sure, exceptions are faster than doing error codes wrong.

Most people using C do it right, and so does Rust's Result (and all Rust programs).
Well, they could also lose their caves and their goats, so it was more than their lives. Let's not underestimate the sophistication and resilience of less economically developed societies.
We also should be considering that there will be this giant country with a giant military after Putin is gone.

We seem to have no concept right now that there is a level of suffering and alienation we can impose on the average Russian that will cause a large chunk to become highly radicalized going forward. Who are those people going to want as a leader then? It seems like so many right now are living in a fantasy world that the Russian people will have some kind of French Revolution because of sanctions, get rid of Putin and by magic some Western friendly Russian government will emerge.

It is like that same thinking that went into hitting Germans with crippling reparations for WW1. In retrospect, maybe that wasn't the best idea..
Not much different from banning all Russian media, now I can't check what the Russians say because I'm too dumb and prone to propaganda I guess.
USA good, Russia bad that's all I need to know.
Nobody denies that, but I don't think it's an "either or" situation. Resources spent on helping the fleeing and dislocated people to organize, like networking and bootstrapping communities in foreign countries, wouldn't have necessary been spent on Ukrainian developers help. They are likely to benefit from this too.

The article you link disagrees with you.

The chain reaction can be shut down in a matter of seconds. However, the reactor continues to generate a huge amount of heat for weeks afterwards. It's not as much heat as a fully-running chain reaction, but it's still enough to cause a catastrophe if cooling is not kept running - we're talking multiple megawatts of heating here. The cooling requires an external power supply. It was the failure of this external power supply that caused the problems at Fukushima.

There are newer reactor designs that are specifically engineered to be capable of cooling themselves on shutdown without an external power supply. However, most reactors in the world do not have that capability.
It is a great service - I have been using it for over 6 years now.
There's a few people here that are repeating a theme that they don't understand Brave's brand. Let me explain what my take on it is.

The CEO has been pivotal in important parts of the internet, he created Javascript and co-founded Mozilla. He seems to be trying to creating a more useful and equitable internet, that's more for users and less for large corporate interests.

All the things I've seen are in support of these goals.

BAT / the ads system he proposed => trying to make the funding for internet sites more balanced for the roles involved, and sustainable both culturally and economically. You can read his thoughts/philosophy on this, he's eloquent and it's informed and interesting - make sure you get it from the source of his own writing instead of the many attacks on him.

The best Adblocking available => not blockable by google, fastest runtime performance. Good for users, less for megacorps.

IPFS => not having much impact now, but aligned with the goal of balancing power away from megacorps towards users.

Calls/Jitsi => again, away from megacorps toward users.

Notice a theme here! That's the brand, however he's not going to sell you on it, hes not spending money doing megacorp 'branding' instead he's quietly making genuinely useful things.

He's actually continuing the mission of what Mozilla was formed to do long ago, before it was overtaken by the G megacorp.

.

n.b.
I would say that the theme of rebalancing power away from megacorps towards users probably explains why he gets continual astroturfing, as opposed to the wokeist reasons that are usually stated for it, but thats a different converstation.
And you train quite a bit to be an engineer before you start making money on it. Math starts in kindergarten sometimes (not necessarily good, but still), science in early grades. Orchestrating groups, recognizing performance, mentoring, environmental politics? Maybe you have a truly elite family to train you on that, but it’s mostly just kids sorting by bullying and popularity. (This is where the power tripping jerks learn some of the skills that serve them well.) Then by the time you have some of it informally figured out, boom you’ve graduated (college, this is engineering) and no more practice rounds.

I’d look to the armed forces for an alternative set of models.
I have two sons. One of which went to a public kindergarten, hated it (crying before sleeping, etc) and we found a "école nouvelle" school (1) where he is doing fine. The other one, we ended up putting him in montessori kindergarten because of issue with the nanny, just because it was the only open spot we found.

My conclusion, after having seen 3 schools: a huge part of the equation is the self-selection of the teachers. It's like comparing "SPA and microservices" with PHP as technologies, without taking into consideration that each attracts a different type of developer.

1: state curricumum, but with specific pedagogical philosophy, focusing on confidence, team-work, etc.
For those interested to see how the situation is portrayed in Russian most watched TV channel Rossiya 1 -> http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-3163
> weaken him and his power structure and undermine his public support

A problem is, these things can also make him stronger? And increase pubic support.

If people start getting "bullied" because they happened to be born in Russia, then maybe some of them will start disliking Europe, and think "Putin not so bad after all".

What if you threw stones through someone's window, because they were born in Russia? Do you think that makes Putin weaker or stronger

Not saying I know what to do, or that I have the answers.
> Russia really thought they would be greeted as liberators.

Even if they did, they won't now. And that only means more bad news as then they wouldn't mind a Syria in their backyard as the only thing that's worse than that, in their eyes, is NATO in their backyard.

> ...history almost as bad as Afghanistan.

I don't know what history you are alluding to, but after advent of Islam in Central Asia, Afghanistan was a dominant power in the region, with its rule firmly established in South Asia for a century or two. Afghanistan's recent "bad history" is courtesy of Soviet and American invasions.
You are not wrong that it's a major point in the discussion, but even with that it can still be better than the alternatives for baseline production (the part that intermittent sources like solar and wind can't cover). Remember that coal power add insult to injury by continuously releasing radioactive pollution.
Since German schools are a federal thing, there is no sucj thing as a "German" school. Ezperience in Bavaria is vastly different from, say, Bremen. Just to pick two extremes.
